“At home, I have an extensive library of obsolete books” about building codes from the past century, he said.

According to the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, Heuermann and his wife, also currently owe a total of more than $81,500 in personal income tax to the state, with the tax bills having accrued since November 2020.

Heuermann examined water damage on a building in Manhattan last year and offered an analysis of proposed waterproofing, according to a letter he wrote to an attorney.

Records filed in another case show emails he sent coordinating a renovation project in the Bronx in 2017. In a civil court hearing in 2018, Heuermann described his work as “general architecture” and said he works for clients to resolve issues with the state Department of Buildings.
