Anyone ever experienced this? In Brookhaven I mistakenly let the building permit on my in ground pool expire and I didn't even get a reminder or warning but someone showed up at my door, gave me a ticket to appear in court in August. I plan to go to town hall this week to renew it and get it finalized soon. Anyone know the repercussions form this? Am I criminal?

Nice knowing you. Is your wife hot? Can I get dibs?

Did you build the pool?
Is pool construction in process?
Did your contractor obtain the permit?
If you were served notice then you have to appear.
The Kangaroo courts and Administrative Kangaroo Courts can be totally-dangerously outrageous. Nothing stops them from doing whatever they want no matter how arbitrary and capricious. If your permit lapsed and you are under construction you are going to get a fine (extortion). If you finished the work without getting the proper inspections (extortions) you are going to get a fine (extortion) and then have to remedy (and they will twist you to the wind because you are on the radar for failing to Kowtow, extortion and more extortion). You might be able to correct any lapse before your appearance date. Did the notice have any cause of action or justification? The guy that served you was probably a building inspector.
You could even send a certified letter asking for a delay to another date. Or you could (should) hire a lawyer with enough juice to smack them around.
Whatever you do; don't take it lightly, be fresh, or fail to appear. Yes Mr. Judge I kowtow to your brilliance..
I got "served" a double-secret jury duty notice by regular mail to the wrong address (I got lucky and got a noncertified piece of mail just by chance, otherwise I could have been held in contempt of court - even with NO REAL SERVICE); so Were you actually to serve someone as an individual or corporation you would actually have to prove service (and even then the guy you were suing might say he never got service, and the court would let it slide four or five times - yes this happened as a landlord in landlord tenant case.); but NYS and Nassau County exempted themselves from all the procedural safeguards you would have to provide to them. The game you are getting dragged into is rigged.. The only pool that should be built is in a Red state. In LI you need to be selling, not building. Why is all this intervention into your own business by an organ of the nanny state acceptable to you?

The pool was built by a professional, it's in ground, they did obtain the permit but I never finalized it. I will appear but I'm going to the building dept. to find out more info on Friday. Like you said, this is extortion. I can see taking it this far if I had ignored prior noticed or did something grossly illegal, but, Jesus...this is ridiculous...it's a freaking permit! I'm 55 and never even had a parking ticket...I don't take stuff like this lightly.

I would suggest that you talk to your builder. If they obtained the permit they need to close the permit.
It sounds like you can hold your builder liable (in small claims court) for any damages and costs that come your way..
Your builder may have a relationship with the moronic civil service leaches downtown. He might be able to get the permit closed in advance of any appearance.
I had assumed he did that after I got the first notice that it expired a few years ago. When we inquired he said they don't take care of that and I looked through my paperwork and didn't see where he said he would.
