§ 649. Inspection. The commissioner, any deputy commissioner, borough superintendents, inspectors, or any officer of the department authorized in writing by the commissioner or a borough superintendent to act in his borough may, in accordance with law, for the purpose of performing their respective official duties, enter and inspect any building, structure, enclosure, premises or any part thereof or anything therein or attached thereto; and any refusal to permit such entry or inspection shall be a misdemeanor triable in criminal court and punishable upon conviction by not more than thirty days imprisonment or by a fine of not more than one hundred dollars, or both.
Full charter
So why does the DOB knock twice and then list a complaint "RESOLVED" if there's no answer and no affidavit or they are refused entry?

Good question
"So why does the DOB knock twice and then list a complaint "RESOLVED"..." The answer is called the Fourth Amendment, the City does not bother to go to court to get a warrant.
Why ? Ask the political machine leaders and record their bull shit answers so we can get greased again.
lazy city workers. need we say more?
The section of the city charter that is quoted refers to refusal to grant entry on construction sites with DOB active permits. Are people in queens that ignorant that somehow an inspector has more power than , THE POLICE.
Nothing really has changed. The corruption is still going on. That is -- even after the last two roundups of their corrupt employees and their business associates.
What will deter the corruption?
HALF OF THE CITY'S AGENCIES ARE INCOMPETENT THAT'S WHY!!
$100 fine for not letting the inspector in the illegal basement ($1200 monthly rent in Flooshing, Queens) or the second floor ($2,500 monthly rent) of a detached two family home to which the landlord converted from 3 to 4 bedroom by using the dining room in order to rent to Chinese who come to give birth in NYC and then go back to China leaving you and me with the hospital bill?
That's a slap in the wrist.
In the meantime, ConEd doubles your electric and gas bill every time there's a heavy snow storm and they are unable to read your meters, and when you call them, they just lower $3 from the bill.
Living in NYC is a continuous violation, if you don't get raped while walking your dog at night (the dog may get raped as well), the city itself along with all its contractors and sub-contractor (ConED, MTA, you name it) will do rape you repeatedly. So put some cream in that ass and get ready to rumble, good luck.
What the city charter demands and what the notoriously crooked DOB puts into practice are two Different things.
They are only adept and prompt at receiving bribes.
Because they take bribes to go away or they are too lazy to write a summons. Why aren't they being held accountable?
The city charter grants authority to certain city agencies to be on private property in order to perform mandated inspections. That includes health, environmental, police etc. All of which, since we live in America must still comply with our constitution. It does not allow city government to enter private property without consent period. Regardless of the agency involved, the refusal to grant access and it's legal ramifications are dictated by the NYC Law dept. not a civil servant. So it's not always about bribes or corruption.
What is the punishment for DOB inspectors for FAILiNG to do their job?
"What is the punishment for..."
Probably the same as NYPD does, they seem to be experts.
