Follow-Up Mailings Not Made to Corporate Landlord

DOS issued a number of violation notices to landlord for sidewalk and street conditions in front of landlord's building. Landlord claimed the violation notices were served improperly. The ALJ ruled against landlord and fined it $1,250. The ALJ found that the person who received copies of the violation notices at the building didn't deny that he was landlord or landlord's employee. Landlord appealed. Landlord was corporation and claimed that follow-up mailings of violation notices were required by law. ECB ruled for landlord and revoked the fines. In addition to delivery to the corporation's employee, the law required follow-up mailings of the notices to the corporation.
