What drives the score

383 open job filings (never signed off)

Jobs without a final sign-off or Letter of Completion surface in every title search, lender review, and TCO/CO application.

377 stale jobs (no activity in 3+ years)

Long-dormant open jobs usually require re-filing or an LS-1 withdrawal before the DOB will close them.

91 expired work permits on open jobs

Work performed after permit expiration cannot be inspected or signed off until the permit is renewed.

2 active dob violations

Active DOB violations must be corrected and dismissed before a Certificate of Occupancy or Letter of Completion is issued.

2 active dob safety violations (facade/boiler/elevator/benchmarking)

Failure-to-file and safety-equipment violations must be resolved with the issuing unit before sign-offs, and several carry compounding civil penalties.
