What STIPULATION/IN-VIO means on a DOB summons at OATH.
A matter recorded STIPULATION/IN-VIO was resolved by an agreement between the respondent and the agency rather than by a contested hearing, and recorded as in violation. It is the least common outcome on this record and the cheapest of those that carry a penalty.
2,514 DOB summonses heard at OATH/ECB were decided Stipulation/In-Vio, 1.6% of the 155,556 matters on this record carrying an outcome. 99.8% carry a penalty of record, 783 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 terms of the agreement govern. A stipulation decides the summons on agreed terms; the condition itself is still closed out with the Department of Buildings.
What to do
Read the stipulation for what it requires and by when. Its terms are the obligation, not the median on this page, which describes other people's matters and not yours.
Why is a stipulation the cheapest outcome that carries a penalty?
The ladder above states the figure and its denominator. This page reports what the record shows and does not offer a theory for it, because a count of matters cannot tell you which ones were eligible for an agreement in the first place.
How common is a stipulation?
It is the smallest group on this record by a wide margin. The count and the share are on the ladder above.
