I bought a house in NYC with a lot of ECB violations , most of them are 5 to 7 years old construction related , the status are default and maximum penalty imposed. I would like to know if i can reopen the cases and ask for hearings? Thanks.

You should have title insurance that covers those violations. You can also have them removed by filing papers with the DOB asserting that the violations have been cured and should be removed.
Feel free to contact me should you wish to discuss this in further detail.

Yes. You can reopen the cases and ask for a hearing. However, you are probably better off correcting the problem, asking for re-inspection, and paying the fines.
Furthermore, depending on the terms and conditions of the contract (and any agreements at the closing), generally the seller is responsible for the violations and fines.

You likely can get them reopened and you also may have them covered by the title co or previous owner. We have substantial experience handling these types of cases, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.
