Cardboard Boxes Not Tied

February 1, 1993

LVT Number: 6739

The DOS found landlord in violation of New York City law for leaving three untied, unsecured cardboard boxes outside for garbage collection. It was likely that they would litter the street. Landlord didn't deny the ``loose rubbish'' charge. The ALJ fined landlord $50, and landlord appealed, claiming she couldn't pay the fine. She submitted copies of her tax return and hospital bills in support of her request. The ECB's appeals unit denied landlord's appeal. Landlord's financial circumstances were irrelevant, nor did she present a defense.
