Record 1: ECB Violation #39191115H — Failure to Maintain / Unsafe Condition
What the source record says
The public description for 1 East 117 Street, Manhattan, NY 10035 states: “ATOI OBSERVED A DAMAGED GUTTER AND A BULGING TREE, THAT IS PROTRUDING AND IMPACTING A REAR YARD FENCE AT EXPOSURE 4., MAINTAIN EXTERIOR BUILDING WALL; RESTORE FENCE, GUTTER TO CODE COMPLAINT CONDITIONS. SECURE” Because the inspector identified a location within the premises, photos and repair proof should match that same area. Site-safety proof should be dated because DOB focuses on conditions at the inspection time.
