Landlord Didn't Make Reasonable Efforts to Clean

DOS issued a violation notice to landlord for not sweeping 18 inches out into the street. Landlord claimed she was away that day, that one of her tenants had picked up the litter while she was gone, and that people standing at the bus stop on the corner near her three-family house threw trash. The ALJ ruled against landlord, and fined her $50. Landlord appealed. ECB ruled against landlord. Landlord didn't show that she'd made reasonable efforts to keep the sidewalk clean.
