Notice Named More Than One Respondent

The Fire Department issued a violation notice to landlords, a married couple, for not providing a DOB approval certificate for an oil burner installation. Landlords claimed that DOB didn't issue the certificate. The ALJ ruled against landlords and fined them $400. Landlords appealed. ECB ruled for landlords for procedural reasons. The violation notice named both landlords. Under ECB policy, only one landlord may be named on a violation notice, so the notice was dismissed as defective without review of the issues in the case.
