The Department of Sanitation slapped an astounding 60 violations on a Staten Island certified personal trainer for illegally posting ads for her services on Manhattan utility poles.

Patricia Okoumou, 37, spent five hours one Sunday in April posting the fliers.

Then, on July 21, she received a package from Sanitation containing the tickets worth a total of $4,500 in fines.

“This is ridiculous. How can I pay this?” Okoumou said.

Such postings are illegal, and Sanitation can ticket for each individual violation.
