A Bronx landlord has defaulted on three separate code violations at the same address, according to OATH/ECB hearing records — and the city says none of the roughly $37,500 in combined penalties has been paid.

The violations are all tied to T J Meir LLC at 2776 3rd Avenue in the Bronx, a building the Department of Buildings inspected on September 15, 2025 at 8:15 a.m. Per OATH/ECB records, the respondent's address is listed as 1412 in the Bronx.

The most serious of the three, per DOB records, alleges that the second and third floors were 'observed converted' and occupied as Class A apartments — each with a three-piece bathroom, kitchen with electric stove and residential sink, and bedrooms — in an occupancy the department says is contrary to what the certificate of occupancy or DOB's own records allow. That charge (ticket 039160462K, code B103) carries a $25,000 penalty.

A second violation, ticket 039160463M, cites a failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner — specifically, inspectors noted the building's emergency lighting for exits, exit discharges, and public corridors was not functioning as required under Building Code 1006.1 and Administrative Code 27-381. That charge carries a $6,250 penalty.

A third violation, ticket 039160464Y, charges T J Meir LLC with failing to comply with a Commissioner's order to file a certificate of correction. DOB records note that at the time of inspection, no corrections had been recorded in department files for the underlying summons. That charge also carries a $6,250 penalty.

All three cases show a hearing status of 'RESCHEDULED' with a hearing result of 'DEFAULTED,' and all three are now scheduled for a new hearing on September 18, 2026 at Bronx location 2, per OATH/ECB records. Compliance status on two of the three tickets is listed as 'Both Due' — meaning both the underlying correction and the penalty remain outstanding — with $0 paid on any of the three as of the most recent record.

None of this is a finding of guilt; a defaulted hearing means the respondent did not appear or respond by the scheduled date, and the case has been moved to a new hearing rather than resolved. The public can look up case status directly through the NYC OATH/ECB hearing records portal (data.cityofnewyork.us, dataset jz4z-kudi) using ticket numbers 039160462K, 039160463M, and 039160464Y.

For contractors and property managers working in the Bronx, the case is a reminder of how OATH penalties compound when a certificate of correction goes unfiled: what started as a single inspection has become three open tickets and a defaulted hearing, with the clock still running on all of them. Anyone with an interest in the property — buyers, lenders, or subs bidding work there — can pull the live docket before September 18 to see whether the balance gets addressed or defaults again.
