ECB violations (DOB) 0 active of 0

DOB violations that go to a hearing at OATH (formerly the Environmental Control Board) and can carry fines. Active or Resolved follows the DOB violation status field. The hearing status is about the hearing and its penalty: written off means the city stopped collecting the fine, not that the condition was corrected. A balance due is a fine the city says is unpaid.
