Bo 13 Form PDF Details

The BO-13 form, officially known as the DOB Boiler Affirmation of Correction Inspection Report, is a mandatory compliance document for boiler owners in New York City. It confirms that defects identified during an authorized boiler inspection have been corrected in full compliance with NYC and State codes.

Who Needs to File the BO-13 Form?

The BO-13 form must be submitted by property owners or their authorized representatives after any boiler inspection that reveals deficiencies. It applies to buildings with boilers subject to NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) oversight, covering a wide range of residential, commercial, and mixed-use properties across New York City. Each form covers a single boiler device.

What Information Is Required?

The form captures detailed information across several categories:

• Property address and owner or representative contact details
• Boiler device specifics: boiler number, pressure levels, make, model, and physical location within the building
• Inspection date and the name of the authorized inspector who performed the review
• A boiler corrections summary listing each defect identified, the corrections made, and any supplementary notes
• The authorized inspector's signature, affirming under penalty of perjury that all corrections comply with NYC and State codes

Deadlines and Penalties

The BO-13 form must be filed within 180 days of the boiler inspection. Missing this deadline or submitting a form with inaccuracies can result in civil penalties from the NYC Department of Buildings. Property owners and building managers should track inspection dates carefully to ensure timely compliance and avoid costly fines.
