What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York, Queens County.
This is un-believable,
To bring you up to date, we bought a house and decided to renovate it. We hired a contractor, who brought 30' trash container to move out trash from the house.
By the time they could pick it up, (they can only pick up on mondays since that's the date of street cleaning) it filled up. They arranged pick up on a certain monday but that monday was a religious holiday, and NYC declared that day non-alternate street parking day, so no cleaning was done, no cars moved, they could not remove the container.
Contractor could not get the container picked up, which added another week. Finally it was picked up. During that time we received two tickets for "uncovered receptacle".
I paid $100 and than $130. First one on time, second one was never left on the door or flew away, I had to pay $130 with penalty.
Now I got another letter yesterday that I didn't pay another ticket, which was $130 with fine and now it is $300. I was ready to accept and pay that. I got another one today for another violation. Mailing dates are 1 week apart.
Total will be $100+$130+$300+$300 to date... So far I did not pay the last 2 yet..
I don't know what to do. I was not living there at the time of "offense". Can I mail them a copy of my change of address proof from post office and tell them to go after the contractor, and show them my contract copy?
Should I go to ECP board and discuss this in person? What are your suggestions? I am running out of time. I must respond by 8/13.
