The Department of Buildings commissioner on Friday said she will rescind hundreds of violation notices the agency had sent to owners of Brooklyn homes alongside a trench used by the Q and B subway lines, after the MTA stepped up to urge the bureaucrats to back off.
Owners of property next to a trench used by the N train will also see their tickets canceled, the letter from Buildings Commissioner Melanie La Rocca to New York City Transit President Andy Byford indicated.
