Landlord Didn't Correct Violations on Time

The Fire Department issued a violation notice to landlord for not complying with several Fire Department rules. Landlord claimed it corrected the violations. The ALJ ruled against landlord and fined it $1,125. Landlord appealed, claiming financial hardship. The ECB found that landlord didn't correct the violations on time. The violation notice directed landlord to clear the violations and file a certificate of correction by Aug. 23, 1991. Landlord didn't correct the violations until Oct. 1, 1993, after the first scheduled hearing date. Landlord's financial condition has no bearing on its liability.
