NY DEC Compliance Violation HELP
Hi Guys, my uncle did a reno on a property. For some reason he decided to do 2 things that were not on the plans.
1. Put down too much concrete on the driveway/walkway up to the house, (supposed to be a ribbon driveway).
2. Built his rear deck 3x the size of original plans.
His first violation was in 2010, he paid the $1500 out of the $3000 fine and left it as is.
He just got his second violation for $10,000, half of which is payable now and the rest suspended if he complies.
Can he get permits for the work now and not have to break up his driveway and cut up his deck?
Page 7 says something about him having to sign something and notarizing it, is he supposed to file that with the property records himself at the City Register? Now? Before or After work is done?
He is/was going through a divorce, I'm not sure if its all done, I rather not get too deep into that topic with him, would be nice for me to be able to help him out a little at this time...
