This violation concerns maintenance of a structural, masonry, exterior-wall, railing, parapet or similar building component. The significance depends on the exact defect and whether it presents a falling, stability or weather-protection hazard.
What may be required to correct the condition

What the OATH hearing may involve
The hearing may involve the physical condition observed, its location and severity, photographs, professional reports, maintenance history and proof of repair.
