DOB Didn't Prove Work Not Done as per Approved Plans

DOB issued a violation notice to landlord for not doing work to conform to DOB-approved plans. DOB claimed that landlord did work beyond what was approved in the alteration plans. Landlord claimed that it had already started to correct the violation by the time the notice was issued. The ALJ ruled for landlord and dismissed the violation. DOB appealed and lost. DOB didn't prove that landlord's work went beyond the plans. The plans weren't presented to the ALJ. So it didn't matter whether landlord's defense was improper. The violation notice was properly dismissed.
