What Is a NYC DEP 3-Day Notice?

The NYC DEP issues a 3-Day Notice when a leak is found on the water service line connecting your property to the city’s water main. This means that the portion of the pipe you own and are responsible for maintaining has a problem that must be fixed within three business days.

Failure to address the issue can lead to several consequences, including:

Fines and penalties - Property owners who don’t make timely repairs will face a $500 fine.
Escalation to a 10-Day notice - Ignoring the 3-Day Notice results in a follow-up 10-Day Notice, during which the water service may be shut off.
Water shut-offs and interruptions: - Unaddressed issues could lead to a complete shut-off of your property’s water service, disrupting daily activities and causing further complications.

By law, you must hire a licensed outdoor plumber to complete the required repairs and obtain all necessary permits. Once the work is done, DEP inspects the repair to confirm compliance. Property owners who act before the deadline can avoid penalties and preserve their essential water service.

Steps to Resolve Your 3-Day Notice Quickly

Handling a 3-Day Notice can feel nerve-wracking, but taking quick, organized steps makes all the difference. It’s important to stay calm, understand the details of the notice, and know your options. Acting promptly will give you the best chance to resolve the situation effectively.

Follow these steps for a smooth and penalty-free resolution:

Review the notice thoroughly - Carefully read the 3-Day Notice issued by NYC DEP to understand the specific issue and the required actions. The notice will outline the deadlines and penalties for non-compliance.
Contact a licensed plumber immediately - Time is of the essence. Reach out to a licensed outdoor plumber certified by the Department of Buildings. They have the expertise required to address the issue and manage the repair process.
Schedule a site assessment - Have your plumber assess the leak or damage on your property’s water service line. This step helps identify the exact problem and determine the best course of action.
Obtain necessary permits - Before starting repairs, your plumber must secure all required permits from the NYC DEP and DOT. Proper permits are crucial to comply with city regulations and facilitate inspection approval.
Begin repairs promptly - Proceed with the repairs without delay. Whether it involves fixing a leak, replacing the service line, or conducting excavation, the work must be completed before the 3-business-day deadline.
Coordinate inspection with NYC DEP - After repairs are completed, your plumber will coordinate with DEP for the final inspection. This makes sure that the work meets city standards and closes the notice officially.
Request extensions if needed - If repairs cannot be completed within the 3 days due to unforeseen circumstances, ask your plumber to apply for an extension through DEP. This helps you avoid penalties while gaining extra time to resolve the issue.
Restore and clean the site - Once the issue is resolved, we make sure all restoration work—like pavement repair or landscaping—is carried out to bring your property back to normal.

Taking these proactive steps addresses the situation quickly and professionally, helping you avoid disruptions and maintain compliance with NYC regulations.
