What drives the score
Jobs without a final sign-off or Letter of Completion surface in every title search, lender review, and TCO/CO application.
Long-dormant open jobs usually require re-filing or an LS-1 withdrawal before the DOB will close them.
Active DOB violations must be corrected and dismissed before a Certificate of Occupancy or Letter of Completion is issued.
ECB violations carry civil penalties; unpaid balances accrue and block DOB sign-offs.
Failure-to-file and safety-equipment violations must be resolved with the issuing unit before sign-offs, and several carry compounding civil penalties.
Open complaints can trigger inspections and new violations at the worst possible moment in a transaction.
