A Staten Island property owner was found in violation at an OATH/ECB hearing completed October 21 over a fence that exceeds the city's permitted height, according to Environmental Control Board hearing records.
The case involves a one- and two-family home at 20 Orlando Street in Staten Island, per DOB/ECB records. The respondent is listed as Zhang Meiyun at the same address.
A Department of Buildings inspector cited the property on August 5 under charge code B307 (Building Code section 3111) for fence height, according to the violation details in the hearing record. The inspector's notes describe brick columns measuring 6 feet at three sides of the property and a fence section measuring 5 feet at a fourth side — both above the height the Building Code allows for the property's zoning.
The hearing concluded with a finding of 'in violation' and a total violation amount of $200, per OATH records. The record lists the balance due as $0 and compliance status as 'All Terms Met,' indicating the matter has been resolved.
