(3) Any active work at the multiple dwelling, with respect to the immediately hazardous elevator violation as observed by the Department of Buildings during reinspections;
(4) Data reflecting elevator applications, to the extent that an application is required to be filed, and elevator building notices for the multiple dwelling, including date and application number;
(5) Whether the owner of the multiple dwelling has a contract for repair of elevators as required pursuant to Administrative Code § 28-304.7;
(6) Data related to all reinspections with respect to the immediately hazardous elevator violation pursuant to Administrative Code § 28-219.2.2, including inspection date, inspection result, violation numbers (where applicable), and inspector comments; and
