                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: April 17, 2014

   By the District Director, New York Office, Northeastern Region,
   Enforcement Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
       of the Commission's rules (Rules)^ to Maimonides Medical Center
       (Maimonides), licensee of Private Land Mobile Stations WPVV344 and
       WQJR487 in Brooklyn, New York. Pursuant to Section 1.89(a) of the
       Rules, issuance of this Notice does not preclude the Enforcement
       Bureau from further action if warranted, including issuing a Notice of
       Apparent Liability for Forfeiture for the violations noted herein.^

    2. On April 10, 2014, in response to a complaint, Agents of the
       Enforcement Bureau's New York Office inspected the Private Land Mobile
       Stations located at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York,
       and observed the following violation:

   47 C.F.R. S 1.903(a): "Authorization Required - Stations in the Wireless
   Radio Services must be used and operated only in accordance with the rules
   applicable to their particular service as set forth in this title and with
   a valid authorization granted by the Commission under the provision of
   this part." The inspection conducted on April 10, 2014 revealed that
   Maimonides was operating on the frequency 451.800 MHz. Maimonides'
   licenses for Stations WPVV344 and WQJR487 do not authorize operation on
   451.800 MHz.^

    3. Pursuant to Section 308(b)  of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended,^ and Section 1.89 of the Rules, we seek additional
       information concerning the violation and any remedial actions taken.
       Therefore, Maimonides must submit a written statement concerning this
       matter within twenty (20) days of release of this Notice. The response
       (i) must fully explain each violation, including all relevant
       surrounding facts and circumstances, (ii) must contain a statement of
       the specific action(s) taken to correct each violation and preclude
       recurrence, and (iii) must include a time line for completion of any
       pending corrective action(s). The response must be complete in itself
       and must not be abbreviated by reference to other communications or
       answers to other notices.^

    4. In accordance with Section 1.16 of the Rules, we direct Maimonides  to
       support its response to this Notice with an affidavit or declaration
       under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an authorized officer of
       Maimonides with personal knowledge of the representations provided in
       Maimonides' response, verifying the truth and accuracy of the
       information therein,^ and confirming that all of the information
       requested by this Notice which is in the Maimonides' possession,
       custody, control, or knowledge has been produced. To knowingly and
       willfully make any false statement or conceal any material fact in
       reply to this Notice is punishable by fine or imprisonment under Title
       18 of the U.S. Code.^

    5. All replies and documentation sent in response to this Notice should
       be marked with the File No. and NOV No. specified above, and mailed to
       the following address:

   Federal Communications Commission

   New York Office

   201 Varick Street, Suite 1151

   New York, New York 10014

    6. This Notice shall be sent to Maimonides at its address of record.

    7. The Privacy Act of 1974^ requires that we advise you that the
       Commission will use all relevant material information before it,
       including any information disclosed in your reply, to determine what,
       if any, enforcement action is required to ensure compliance.
