2009: Environmental Control Board
NYC DEP v. Tao Restaurant. NOV #000260520M
ALJ Rachel Potasznik Presiding.
A noise violation was issued to our client, Tao Restaurant, for their air conditioning equipment. Alan Fierstein of Acoustilog testified that the test method used by the DEP inspector was insufficient to identify the source of noise in an area with multiple similar noise sources. He also testified that his own measurments had shown our client's equipment to be within code limits. The judge credited Mr. Fierstein's testimony and dismissed the violation.
