Clearing Up DOB ViolationsOct 06, 2010


How does a Board go about clearing up elevator violations that we never knew we got fines for (former two managing agents threw in a drawer), and some are 10-20 years old. We are in complete compliance now but have accrued 3K of old fines. We heard it's possible to negotiate a settlement for a reduced amount. Any suggestions?

DOB - Management Oct 06, 2010


Perhaps hiring an expeditor who deals with this type of thing exclusively will make it easier for you and for the building. Send your violations received to your elevator company as well to see if they have done the work and can certify as such.

Reducing Fines for Old Boiler Violations - MB Oct 27, 2010


Hi,
We found we had $3K of boiler violations outstanding from 1995-2004 when we went to refi the building. This was during the tenure of a builiding manager we let go in 2005. Our current management company tells us there is nothing to do but pay the fines. I have heard otherwise. Any advice besides hiring an expeditor? We are a tiny builidng and no budget for that.
Thanks,
