Code Violations

Building Code Violation Attorneys

The construction lawyers at the New York and New Jersey construction law firm of The McDonough Law Firm, L.L.P., are available to builders, contractors, architects, landlords, property owners, or anyone who needs defense for building code violations.

We handle environmental control board violations and building department violations throughout a construction project as well as after the building is complete. When you have construction permit issues, we can help. If you have been accused of negligence regarding construction, call us. When building inspectors issue code violation citations, contact us.

Our attorneys handle all aspects of construction code violations defense, including jurisdictional determinations. For example, the building department might claim that certain work is plumbing, but we determine that it’s actually in the realm of heating and ventilation. This determinations could be key in proving our client’s case before the environmental control board or another regulatory agency.

In another example, perhaps a construction contractor is asked to correct a code violation after the fact – and the cost of the correction would be prohibitive. We work to determine who was responsible for the code violation. Was it the architect or engineer? Was it the construction company or a subcontractor? Was it the fault of an inspector early in a project who failed to flag an engineering defect?

Through careful and thorough analysis of all related facts, we have successfully defended many clients who have been issued citations for code violations. Contact our code violations attorneys to schedule a consultation. In the meantime, please see our Construction Law Information Center for more information.
