The Sanitation Department today plans to visit the campaign office of John Liu, the Democratic nominee for comptroller, to personally deliver hundreds of summonses for plastering the city with illegal posters.
The Post reported Sunday that the campaign had received 7,840 tickets totaling $588,000 — more than any candidate in memory.
But Liu spokeswoman Juanita Scarlett said that, as of yesterday, the campaign hadn’t been notified of a single violation.
Sanitation spokesman Vito Turso explained that the first batch, with 302 summonses, were sent by certified mail on Oct. 8 to an address provided by the Board of Elections and were returned as undeliverable.
That, he said, is why the department will now hand-deliver the original 302 plus another 1,261 to Liu’s campaign headquarters in Queens.
That leaves 6,277 unprocessed. It is illegal to put up a poster on city property, even during election season. Each violation carries a $75 fine.
