Twenty-three Department of Buildings violations are scheduled for hearing on October 30 at OATH's Bronx 2 calendar, according to OATH/ECB Hearings (Case Status) records. All twenty-three are listed as "Hearing Completed" with a result of "In Violation," and compliance status on each shows "All Terms Met."
Twelve of the twenty-three are elevator-related, charged under code section 28-304 for failure to maintain an elevator or conveying system. The addresses span the borough: 1370 University Avenue, 646 Gerard Avenue, 2438 Morris Avenue, 1325 Grand Concourse, 4745 Bronx Boulevard (two separate tickets, 039201293R and 039201292P), 165 East 179 Street, 916 Home Street's sister building at 800 East 180 Street, 156 Bruckner Boulevard, 1860 Billingsley Terrace, 2170 University Avenue, 2364 Tiebout Avenue, and 35 East 176 Street.
The violation details describe a similar set of problems building to building: expired brake-maintenance tags, inoperative emergency phones, missing Category 1 test tags, blocked access to machine rooms, and in-car communication devices not wired to a staffed monitoring location. Each carries a total violation amount of $625, per the records.
Two non-elevator violations stand out for their descriptions. At 707 East 214 Street in the Bronx, respondent MJH Construction Corp was cited for failing to properly post a permit for work under permit X01311369-I1-GC, a $300 violation, per DOB records. At 916 Home Street, respondent Innovative Constr NYC LLC was cited after an inspector found a scaffold support at Exposure 1 resting on a buried mudsill on a nine-story building described in the record as "topped off" — a condition the violation notes prevents verification of the mudsill's bearing surface. That violation carries a $1,250 penalty under the failure-to-maintain-adequate-housekeeping code.
At 510 East 185 Street, respondent Ratan Realty LLC, a New Jersey limited company, drew two violations from the same inspection: a missing fresh-air cover and a collapsed trough drain in the driveway, and separately, obstructed sprinkler heads throughout the building along with an unvented basement dryer. Each carries a $1,250 penalty, per the records.
None of the twenty-three records show a balance due, penalty imposed, or paid amount beyond zero as of this listing; all show compliance status "All Terms Met."
