🧹 Sanitation Violations (DEP), Solved: Clean-Up Orders, Disputes & Hearings
Sanitation violations are among the most common — and most frustrating — code enforcement issues for property owners.
Whether issued by the Department of Sanitation (DSNY), DEP, or a local Code Compliance Officer, these violations often cite failure to maintain sidewalks, curbs, or adjoining public areas in clean condition.
The challenge: sometimes, the property owner isn’t responsible at all — yet still receives the fine.
🚨 Common Sanitation Violations
- Failure to clean sidewalks or gutters
- Improper trash storage or pickup
- Overflowing bins or construction debris
- Graffiti or litter accumulation on building frontage
- Uncollected garbage due to missed collection days
- Oil, paint, or chemical discharge into public drains
🧰 How We Help
- Identify the specific agency and type of violation issued (DEP, DSNY, or local equivalent)
- Coordinate cleanup and compliance corrections with approved contractors
- Document completed work with time-stamped photos and video
- Prepare defense packages for hearings including photo and video evidence
- Represent clients at administrative hearings or support their attorney with evidence documentation
Many of our clients receive sanitation tickets due to circumstances beyond their control —
like constant loitering, littering by pedestrians, or illegal dumping in front of their property.
In such cases, we can help gather **camera footage, affidavits, and maintenance logs** to demonstrate due diligence and establish a valid defense.
📹 Evidence & Hearings
We assist in preparing strong evidence packages for OATH/DEP hearings or their local equivalents.
Our team helps you present a clear record of recurring interference by the public or maintenance barriers, showing that the condition could not reasonably have been prevented by the owner.
- Camera footage review and editing for presentation
- Affidavit preparation and documentation formatting
- Timeline summaries and supporting reports
- Representation at administrative hearings or submission of defense statements
✅ Prevent Future Violations
We also help property owners implement regular cleaning and inspection routines to avoid repeat violations — including scheduled maintenance, contractor coordination, and documentation tracking.
🕐 Why Act Quickly
Unresolved sanitation violations can lead to escalating fines, property liens, or denial of future permits and licenses.
Prompt response — whether by correcting the issue or disputing it — saves both money and reputation.
