Three Bronx properties went before the city's Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings on September 4, and all three came back marked "in violation," per OATH/ECB Hearings Division records.

At 4365 De Reimer Avenue in the Bronx (block 5057, lot 48), a Department of Buildings inspector found a heap of combustible building material covering roughly 60% of the front yard, close to the property line. DOB cited the property under Admin Code 28-301 for failure to maintain, ticket 039194385L, with a $1,250 fine. The hearing record lists the case as "All Terms Met."

At 1250 Franklin Avenue in the Bronx, respondent MCK Franklin LLC was cited for an elevator's in-car emergency communication device that was inoperative and not connected to a continuously staffed location. The car position indicator was also inaccurate, and inspectors could not get into the machine room. That's ticket 039193942K, charged under 28-304 for failure to maintain an elevator or conveying system, with a $625 fine.

At 2575 Hollers Avenue in the Bronx, a 6-foot-4 wood stockade fence built along the driveway was found to exceed the city's permitted height. Ticket 039193775M cites Building Code 3111 and carries a $200 fine, plus an order to bring the fence into conformance and file a certificate of correction.

Separately, DOB logged three new complaints in the Complaints Received dataset over the past two days, including one categorized as elevator-related at 1930 Anthony Avenue in the Bronx. A complaint isn't a violation — it just opens a file for an inspector to look — but it's worth noting elevator scrutiny is active in the borough again this week.

Failure-to-maintain tickets like these are the routine grind for property managers, GCs, and maintenance subs working existing Bronx buildings, and the elevator ticket is the one to actually read closely. An inoperative emergency phone or a bad position indicator can get a car written up under 28-304 with no accident involved — if you've got a service agreement anywhere near Franklin Avenue, that's your reminder these things get cited on inspection, not just after something breaks.

If you're bidding renovation or maintenance work at any of these addresses, look up the ticket number on the city's OATH portal before you price the job — the Franklin Avenue case in particular still has a certificate-of-correction step tied to it. NYC Open Data's OATH Hearings Division Case Status and DOB Complaints Received datasets are searchable by BIN, block/lot, or address for anyone checking a property's open-violation history.
