Certificate of correction

A certificate of correction is the filing that documents a cited violation's underlying condition has been fixed: evidence — statements, photographs, supporting documents — submitted and accepted, closing the loop the summons opened. For many violation types, acceptance is what stops the condition from generating further liability and clears the item's hold on other approvals.

The distinction it marks matters in records: paying a penalty resolves the fine, not the condition — correction is a separate act with separate proof. Buildings whose records show penalties paid but corrections never certified are telling you their operators bought time rather than repairs, and open uncorrected items can block permits and certificates until resolved.
