Violation Notice Not Sent to Alternate Address

The Fire Department issued a violation notice to landlord by leaving copies of it at the building and by mailing the notice to landlord at the building. Landlord, a cooperative corporation, claimed that the notice wasn't sent properly. The ALJ ruled against landlord and fined landlord $1,125. Landlord appealed, showing that the address on file with HPD for delivery of violation notices was different from the building address. The ALJ ruled for landlord and revoked the fine. The Fire Department was unable to show that it searched for landlord's alternate address to attempt delivery of the notice there.
