Steps
Locate DOB's 'Resolve DOB Elevator Violations' guidance page (nyc.gov/site/buildings/safety/resolve-dob-elevator-violations.page) as the starting point
Pull the current ECB penalty schedule PDF referenced from nyc.gov/html/ecb/downloads (schedules are published by section-of-law and violation class, and are revised periodically)
Match the specific violation's section of law/class code to the schedule row rather than assuming a flat fine applies to all elevator violations
Note that default judgments (uncontested) are generally assessed at the maximum penalty, while a timely-corrected first violation may qualify for a reduced stipulated penalty
Treat any specific dollar figure quoted by a third-party site as unverified until checked against the current official PDF, since industry blogs cite noticeably different ranges
Known gotchas
Do not state a specific elevator violation fine amount from memory or a blog post — third-party sources found in this research disagreed with each other by an order of magnitude, which is a strong signal the authoritative source (the official ECB penalty schedule PDF) must be checked each time
Penalties vary by violation class/section of law, not a single flat elevator-violation fee
The penalty schedule is revised periodically by rule, so a cached figure can go stale
