"This is totally outrageous," Crotty said, denying there being animal waste in his building. "It's a fart complaint," he added, joking that maybe the health inspector got "crop-dusted."
Crotty and the building superintendent, Rashad Pryatt, said there's instances of getting hit with a $50 ticket from the city Department of Sanitation for a violation regarding a defective trash container or issues with garbage pick-up.
But a $1,000 fine from the health department over a mysterious foul smell is unprecedented - and noxious, they said. Crotty will fight the summons before the city Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings on Oct. 28.
Pryatt, the building super, also denied there was animal poop on the premises. "No, there was no animal waste. These people are crazy," he said.
