• Go to the DOB NOW website and log into your account
• Select the violation class (e.g. FISPNRF) for which you want to submit payment. If there are multiple active violations under the same violation class for a given base control number then all
  violations for that class must be paid for as one application. The last five digits of a control number are referred to as the base control number.

  Complete the Owner Information and Statements & Signature sections and Save the application
  again.
• The last step is to select Proceed to Pay to enter the payment in the CityPay portal.

Payments made in DOB NOW: Safety by credit card will be processed immediately and the violation(s) status will change to dismissed in the Buildings Information System (BIS). Payments made by eCheck will take up to 10 days to be processed. An email notification will be sent when the payment has processed and the violation has been dismissed.

Once the outstanding violations have been paid, please provide a copy of the receipt to your QEWI which will be included in your FISP report filing submission.
