Landlord Didn't Provide Details About Cleaning

LVT Number: 13006

DOS issued a violation notice to landlord for having a dirty sidewalk area in front of its building. Landlord claimed it made reasonable efforts to clean and used a full-time porter who cleaned three times per day and whenever else necessary. The ALJ ruled against landlord and fined it $50. Landlord appealed and lost. The amount of debris found by DOS was inconsistent with landlord's claim that it cleaned enough times per day. Landlord also didn't provide any details as to when its daily cleanings occurred.
