Landlord Didn't Conduct Residential Sprinkler Flow Test

The Fire Department issued a violation notice to landlord for failing to conduct a required test of the building's residential sprinkler system. At a hearing, landlord said that the test had been scheduled and submitted a certificate of correction dated before the first scheduled hearing date. The ALJ ruled for landlord in part and imposed a reduced penalty of $300. Landlord appealed and lost. Landlord claimed that he should get no penalty. But landlord hadn't scheduled the test at the time of inspection and wasn't entitled to zero penalty. So ECB ruled against landlord.
