Nearly eight months ago, city officials fined the owner of 729 Seventh Avenue $1,250 for failing to maintain the building’s façade. The owner, Himmel + Meringoff Properties, paid the penalty but never documented that the damaged terra-cotta identified by city inspectors was repaired. Nor did it install a sidewalk shed to protect passersby. The killing of a pedestrian Tuesday by a chunk of façade from the Times Square building called attention to the building’s history.
