Bureau:
1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
1.89 of the Commission's Rules to New York City Fire Department DBA
Bureau of Fire Communications, the owner of antenna structure #
1207304 in Staten Island, New York.
2. On May 23, 2008, an agent of the Commission's New York Office
attempted to inspect antenna structure # 10207304 at 65 Slosson
Avenue, Staten Island, New York, and observed the following violation:
47 C.F.R. S: 17.57: "The owner of an antenna structure for which an
Antenna Structure Registration Number has been obtained must notify the
Commission within 24 hours of completion of construction and/or
dismantlement. The owner must also immediately notify the Commission upon
any change in structure height or change in ownership information." At the
time of the attempted inspection, the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration
Database showed that antenna structure # 10207304 was registered to New
York City Fire Department. The agent found, however, that the tower had
been dismantled. New York City Fire Department failed to notify the FCC of
the dismantlement of the antenna structure # 10207304.

within twenty (20) days of release of this Notice. The response must
fully explain each violation, must contain a statement of the specific
action(s) taken to correct each violation and preclude recurrence, and

actions. The response must be complete in itself and signed by a
principal or officer of the tower owner. All replies and documentation
