Garbage Receptacles Brought Out Too Early

DOS issued a violation notice to landlord for not storing garbage receptacles. Landlord claimed the garbage bags were properly put out the night before the scheduled collection. The ALJ ruled against landlord and fined him $50. Landlord appealed. ECB ruled against landlord. The garbage bags were found to be out at 10:40 a.m. the day before collection. City law requires that garbage be stored within the building or at the rear of the building until the night before pickup.
