I just noted the same. Incentives, or in this case disincentives are powerful. I think it will at least make some change.

I think the reasoning for the low fines was the expectation that compliance would be pretty good, because honestly building owners and residents don’t want a gated eyesore next to their luxury construction and keeping them nice and open is in their own interest.

I have worked in at least 2 of the buildings on that list (both of which had 0 violations) and honestly the plazas were lovely, well maintained and a great place to eat lunch on a nice day. I think it was the desire to attract and keep tenants which kept it nice, not the fear of fines.
