Violation Notice Omits Section of Law Landlord Violated

DOB issued a violation notice to landlord for not maintaining the building's elevator. The ALJ fined landlord $200. Landlord appealed, claiming that the violation notice was defective because it omitted the section of law that landlord had violated. ECB ruled for landlord. DOB should have corrected the defect in the violation notice at the hearing.
