ALJ recommends $14,000 fine for loft building owner who failed to meet legalization deadlines.
Tenants sought a finding that the owner of a building in the Special Clinton District had failed to comply with legalization deadlines set by the Loft Law and should be fined $1,000 per day. ALJ Faye Lewis found that the Loft Board rule providing for such fines did not apply to tenant-initiated code compliance proceedings, but only to Loft Board-initiated enforcement proceedings.
