OHO/DCE Form DR-1 is a Dismissal Request form used by property owners and managing agents, typically in jurisdictions like New York City, to certify that they have corrected specific housing code violations. By submitting this form, the requestor asks for an inspection to verify the corrections and officially dismiss the violations from the property's record, which is crucial for maintaining compliance and avoiding further penalties. Today, this form can be filled out quickly and accurately using AI-powered services like Instafill.ai, which can also convert non-fillable PDF versions into interactive fillable forms.

The AI checks your answers before you download

13 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.

Ensures Exclusive Selection for Violation Scope

Validates that either the 'ALL' checkbox is checked or the 'ONLY' checkbox is checked, but not both. If the 'ONLY' checkbox is selected, the 'Violation Numbers (Only)' field must also be filled. This prevents ambiguity in the inspection request and ensures the inspector knows exactly which violations to check, avoiding wasted time or incomplete inspections.

Validates Chronology of Work Completion and Certification Dates

Compares each 'Date Work Completed' against the final 'Certification Date'. All work completion dates must be on or before the date of certification. This logical check is crucial for preventing fraudulent claims and ensuring the certification is chronologically valid. A certification dated before the work was finished would be invalid and rejected.

Verifies Consistency of Affiant's Printed Name

This validation confirms that the name entered in 'Affiant Print Name' is identical to the name in 'Affiant Printed Name (Signature Block)'. This consistency is crucial for the legal validity of the affidavit, ensuring the person making the sworn statement is the same person identified at the signature block. A mismatch could call the document's authenticity and legal standing into question.

Validates Notary Acknowledgment Date

Checks that the 'Month', 'Day', and 'Year' provided in the 'Notary Acknowledgment' section form a real, valid calendar date that is not in the future. This is fundamental for the legal standing of the notarized document. An impossible or future date would invalidate the notary's acknowledgment and require the form to be re-notarized.

Enforces Conditional Property Registration Number

This check validates that if no ownership exemption is claimed (i.e., 'Owner of private dwelling', 'Owner of condominium unit', or 'Owner of cooperative shares' are all unchecked), then the 'Property Registration Number' field must be filled. This ensures that all non-exempt properties are properly identified by their registration number, which is essential for regulatory tracking. Failure to provide it when required will result in the form being rejected as incomplete.

Ensures Completeness of Individual Violation Correction Entries

For each of the five violation work entries, this check validates that if any field in the row is filled (e.g., Violation Number), then all other fields in that same row (Condition Description, Work Done By, Date Work Completed) are also completed. This prevents partial, unusable data for a specific violation correction. Incomplete entries cannot be processed and would require the user to provide the missing information.

Common Mistakes in Completing OHO/DCE Form DR-1

The ones the AI is built to catch.

Ambiguous Violation Inspection Scope
Users often create confusion by either checking 'ONLY' without listing specific violation numbers, or checking 'ALL' while also listing numbers, creating an ambiguous request. This forces the agency to guess the requestor's intent, leading to processing delays or an inspection that doesn't cover the intended scope. To avoid this, clearly choose one option: either check 'ALL' for a comprehensive inspection or check 'ONLY' and meticulously list the exact violation numbers to be inspected on the provided line.
Inconsistent Affiant/Requestor Name
The form requires the requestor's or affiant's printed name in multiple locations, such as 'Requestor Name (Printed)' and 'Affiant Print Name'. People frequently use different variations of their name or leave one of these fields blank, which can raise questions about the identity of the person certifying the form and may lead to rejection. To prevent this, ensure you enter your full, legal name consistently across all designated 'Printed Name' fields.
Incorrect Owner Type Declaration
The section for 'Owner of private dwelling,' 'condominium unit,' or 'cooperative shares' is often filled out incorrectly, with users checking a box but failing to provide the required address and apartment number in the corresponding fields. This error can invalidate the claim that a Property Registration is not required, causing the form to be rejected. Carefully read each option and fill out only the section that accurately describes your ownership status and property details.
Invalid Property Registration Number
Applicants often confuse the 'Property Registration Number' with other identifiers like a docket number or tax ID, or they leave it blank entirely. This number is a unique identifier crucial for the agency to locate the property's official file, and submitting an incorrect or missing number will halt the process. Before filling out the form, double-check official property documents to find the correct registration number. AI-powered tools like Instafill.ai can help by storing and accurately populating such specific identifiers.
Mismatched Contact and Party Information
This form asks for details for the Requestor, a separate Contact for scheduling, and the Tenant, which can be confusing. A common mistake is to enter the same information in all fields without consideration, leading to inspection scheduling calls or official notices going to the wrong person and causing significant delays. Carefully distinguish between the person submitting the form (Requestor), the person to arrange access (Contact), and the resident of the unit (Tenant).
Incomplete Notary Acknowledgment
The 'Notary Acknowledgment' section requires a signature and stamp from a licensed Notary Public to be legally valid, but many people submit the form without getting it notarized. An unnotarized affidavit is invalid and will be immediately rejected, requiring the entire process to be restarted. Always complete the form, sign it in the presence of a notary, and ensure the notary properly fills out their entire section before you submit it.
Insufficient Violation Correction Description
In the 'Condition Description' fields, users often write vague entries like 'Fixed' or 'Repaired,' which lack the necessary detail for an official to determine if the work meets legal standards. This often results in a failed certification and requires a physical re-inspection, wasting time and resources. Provide a clear, concise summary of the specific work performed, such as 'Replaced broken window pane in living room' instead of 'Fixed window'.
Improperly Formatted Phone Number
The form explicitly separates the 'Telephone Area Code' from the main 'Telephone Number,' a common source of data entry errors. Users may enter the full 10-digit number into one field or mis-key the digits when splitting them, which can prevent the agency from being able to make contact. Carefully enter the three-digit area code in its designated field. Using a tool like Instafill.ai can prevent this by automatically parsing and formatting contact information into the correct fields.
Mixing Up Critical Dates
The form includes multiple distinct date fields: 'Date Work Completed,' 'Certification Date,' and 'Date Notice Was Mailed to Tenant.' Users often get these dates confused, entering the same date in all fields or putting the wrong date in a specific box, which can create legal and compliance issues. Pay close attention to the label for each date field and enter the precise date that corresponds to that specific action to ensure your submission is accurate.
Missing Apartment or Unit Numbers
When dealing with multi-unit buildings, failing to include the specific apartment or unit number in fields like 'Condominium Apartment Number' or 'Apartment Number (Property and Tenant Information)' is a critical omission. This makes it impossible for the agency to identify the correct location, causing the request to be returned as incomplete. If the form is a non-fillable PDF, a tool like Instafill.ai can convert it into a fillable version, making it easier to ensure all required fields, including unit numbers, are completed.
