DEP compliance issues require immediate corrective action. A 3-Day or 10-Day Notice signals a confirmed or suspected leak, sewer defect, or service-line issue on the owner’s side of responsibility. Failure to respond can result in water shutoff, fines, and enforcement.
Lady Liberty Contracting Corp resolves DEP notices, violations, and corrective orders by identifying the issue, performing the required water or sewer work, coordinating all permits, and securing final sign-off.
Our process eliminates uncertainty, stabilizes your property, and restores compliance within required timelines.
These are the most consistent indicators of a failing private water service line:
Immediate action required for leaks or suspected damage.
Failure to comply risks water shutoff.
DEP confirms owner-side service line leak.
Cracks, collapses, or defective traps identified.
Specific correction timeline issued by DEP.
Property must disconnect sewer and water before demolition.
DEP requires licensed contractor corrective action.
Issue cannot close until certified by DEP.
Clear explanation of requirements and deadlines.
Identify water/sewer issues cited by DEP.
DEP + DOT permits coordinated end-to-end.
Corrective repair or replacement performed.
Priority handling for time-sensitive notices.
Inspection scheduling and city liaison.
Written proof of compliance provided.
Avoid shutoff, fines, or enforcement actions.
We read and interpret the notice, identifying required actions, deadlines, and whether the issue relates to the water service line, house sewer, or both. Crews verify responsibility (city vs owner), review site conditions, and determine whether repair or replacement is mandated.
Most DEP-driven corrective work requires DEP permits, DOT street/sidewalk opening permits, and full utility mark-outs (gas, electric, telecom). We coordinate every required approval to keep the project moving within DEP deadlines.
Once permits are cleared, our team performs the required work: Water service line repair or replacement Sewer line repair or replacement House trap replacement Disconnection for demolition Leak elimination and section replacement All repairs meet NYC plumbing code and DEP compliance criteria.
DEP or DOB may require inspections to confirm the work meets city standards. We schedule, host, and document all inspections to ensure smooth approval.
After inspection approval, we submit necessary documentation and confirm closure of the violation. Property owners receive written compliance proof for records, insurance, or future filing needs.
