4.1 NYC-Specific Compliance Disclaimer

Brick provides information related to New York City building compliance requirements based on publicly available records, third-party data sources, and user-provided information.

New York City building, housing, fire, environmental, and energy regulations are complex, frequently updated, inconsistently enforced, and may apply differently based on building attributes, occupancy, usage, exemptions, agency interpretations, or factual circumstances not captured in available data.

Brick may reference or surface requirements associated with, including but not limited to, agencies such as the New York City Department of Buildings (DOB), Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY), Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), and other municipal, state, or federal authorities.

Brick does not guarantee that:

• All applicable compliance obligations are identified
• Any surfaced requirement applies to your specific property
• Government or third-party data is complete, current, or accurate
• Deadlines, penalties, or filing instructions are correct or up to date

Brick does not provide legal, engineering, architectural, environmental, or regulatory advice and does not replace consultation with licensed professionals or direct communication with the relevant authority.

You acknowledge and agree that:

• You are solely responsible for verifying all compliance obligations
• You are solely responsible for filings, inspections, certifications, and submissions
• Reliance on Brick does not relieve you of legal or regulatory responsibility
• Brick's outputs are informational only and provided "as is"

New York City agencies may issue violations, penalties, or enforcement actions regardless of information presented by Brick.

By using the Service, you expressly assume all risks associated with compliance decisions, filings, and enforcement outcomes related to your properties.
