Of the 108, you said 187 correct?
Javier Lojan
0:42:29
Violations?
0:42:29
One ninety seven.
Shaun Abreu
0:42:31
90 My apologies.
0:42:32
Within of the 197 violations, what would you say is the breakdown of categories of violations and how many for each category?
Javier Lojan
0:42:40
Do you have a breakdown?
0:42:41
Okay.
0:42:41
So I kinda have that here.
0:42:43
So 45% of them were for truck spillage.
0:42:47
So Were for?
0:42:48
Truck spillage.
0:42:49
Meaning Truck spillage.
0:42:50
They serviced them with bags or material and then they spilled waste all over the curb or sidewalk and they didn't clean it up.
0:42:56
So that's that's a violation.
0:42:58
As I mentioned before, disobeying steady red lights, that's 10%.
0:43:03
Ten %?
0:43:04
Ten %.
0:43:04
Yep.
0:43:06
There were 9% of those were for noxious liquids.
0:43:10
So a truck is supposed to have a seal, in the back of it so it doesn't, any of the the waste it picks up doesn't drip on the street.
0:43:18
That's an example of it.
0:43:19
So 9% of those were for those.
0:43:21
5% were for street obstructions, so they're not supposed to block any of the streets or sidewalks.
0:43:28
3% were for disobeying disobeying a traffic signal, so it might have been running a red light.
0:43:34
And then 3% were for driving on wrong side of the street or driving the left of the pavement marks.
0:43:41
So that's the breakdown.
