What CURED/IN-VIO means on a DOB summons at OATH.
A matter recorded CURED/IN-VIO was corrected and the correction was accepted. On this record the status pairs one-for-one with a certification of CURE ACCEPTED, on every matter that carries it, and almost none of them carry a penalty of record.
11,947 DOB summonses heard at OATH/ECB were decided Cured/In-Vio, 7.7% of the 155,556 matters on this record carrying an outcome. 0.3% carry a penalty of record, 2 dollars per matter across every one of them.

Penalty of record divided by every matter in that outcome, rounded to the dollar, over 155,556 matters carrying a recorded outcome, issued September 16, 2023 through September 10, 2026. A penalty of record is the amount a decision set on the day it was decided, not a running figure and not what the city’s books show today. Matters the city leaves unclassified carry no outcome and are not counted here.
What the record shows next
The matter is recorded as in violation and the money is not the consequence. That combination is the reason this status is worth understanding before a hearing date rather than after one.
What to do
Not every infraction can be cured, and the cure period and the proof the city accepts are set by the Department of Buildings and by OATH, not by this page. Read what the summons itself says about a cure, and confirm it against the city's own record.
Does curing a violation remove the penalty?
On this record, matters recorded as cured carry a penalty of record on a very small fraction of matters, and the total across all of them is a rounding error against every other outcome. The ladder above states both figures with their denominators. What the record shows is not a promise about any particular summons.
Is a cured matter still a violation?
The status records it as in violation. What changes is the penalty, not the finding. That is why it sits on the ladder above rather than beside the dismissals.
Can every summons be cured?
No. The cure option is available for certain infractions and not others, and the summons states whether it applies. This page describes what the record shows about matters that reached the status; it does not advise on eligibility.
If this is on your building, the correction is filed with HPD directly. Read how it works, and check your own record on the city's sites.
