What It Means
Local Law 62 of 1991 requires an annual inspection of covered low-pressure boilers by a DOB-licensed qualified inspector or authorized insurer, with the report filed to DOB (in DOB NOW: Safety) within 14 calendar days of the inspection. Missing the filing — or failing to file an Affirmation of Correction for any defects found — generates a violation and civil penalties.
Why You Got It
Common triggers: a missed annual filing; or defects found but no Affirmation of Correction filed.
Consequences & Penalties
Late filing accrues $50/month per boiler (starting the day after the deadline) up to $600 per boiler. Reports filed after the late period are expired, which carries a failure-to-file penalty of $1,000 per boiler. A late Affirmation of Correction also carries $1,000 per boiler. (Figures come from the DOB civil-penalty reference chart — confirm low- vs high-pressure amounts against the chart.)
