Landlord Sold Building Before Violation Issued

In June 1992, DOS issued a violation notice to landlord for a dirty sidewalk. By letter, landlord stated that the city had taken over the building in March 1992 and that landlord wasn't the building's managing agent. The ALJ ruled against landlord for not submitting sufficient proof of his claim. Landlord appealed, and submitted a copy of the building's deed, showing the transfer of ownership before the violation notice was issued. ECB ruled for landlord.
