The term "default decision and order" means a decision and order of the administrative tribunal, pursuant to subparagraph (d) of paragraph one of subdivision d of section 1049-a of the charter of the city of New York, determining a respondent's liability for a violation charged based upon that respondent's failure to plead within the time allowed by the rules of the administrative tribunal or failure to appear before the administrative tribunal on a designated adjudication date or on a subsequent date following an adjournment.

The term "default penalty" means, with respect to any summons returnable to the administrative tribunal, the penalty imposed by the administrative tribunal, pursuant to subparagraph (d) of paragraph one of subdivision d of section 1049-a of the charter of the city of New York, in an amount up to the maximum amount prescribed by law for the violation charged.

§ 2. Temporary program to resolve outstanding judgments for applicable violations.

a. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the commissioner of finance shall establish a temporary program to resolve outstanding judgments imposed by the administrative tribunal, for a 180 day period, that permits respondents who are subject to:

1. Judgments resulting from a default decision and order to resolve such judgments by payment of base penalties without payment of default penalties and accrued interest; and

2. Judgments entered after an adjudication and finding of violation to resolve such judgments by payment of 50 percent of the imposed penalties without payment of accrued interest.

b. Resolution of outstanding judgments.

1. A judgment resulting from a default decision and order may not be resolved under the temporary program to resolve outstanding judgments pursuant to paragraph one of subdivision a of this section unless the base penalty of the violation that is the subject of the default decision and order can be determined from the summons returnable to the administrative tribunal, default decision and order, and the department of buildings penalty schedule alone.

2. A judgment may not be resolved under the temporary program to resolve outstanding judgments pursuant to subdivision a of this section if the judgment had previously been the subject of a settlement agreement with the department of finance or the department of law.

3. A judgment arising out of a summons returnable to the administrative tribunal that includes an order requiring the correction of the violation may not be resolved under the temporary program to resolve outstanding judgments pursuant to subdivision a of this section unless the respondent or other payor:

(i) Verifies with the department of buildings that such judgment violation is an applicable violation pursuant to section 1 of this law;

(ii) Enters into an agreement with the department of finance in a format established by the department, which may include an electronic format;

(iii) Makes a payment to the department of finance in the applicable amount established pursuant to subdivision a of this section, provided that the violation has been corrected pursuant to subparagraph (iv) of this paragraph; and

(iv) Demonstrates to the satisfaction of the department of buildings that the condition cited in the summons returnable to the administrative tribunal has been corrected and such respondent or payor provides to the department of finance any requested documentation concerning such correction, including an acceptable certificate of correction.

4. If a violation that is the subject of an agreement with the department of finance pursuant to paragraph three of this subdivision is not corrected to the satisfaction of the department of buildings within the 180 day period established by subdivision a, or after the expiration of an extension period specifically granted by department of buildings for the purpose of complying if any such extension is granted, judgment in the amount of the default penalty plus accrued interest less the deposit, or judgment in the amount of the imposed penalty plus accrued interest less the deposit, as applicable, shall continue to have full legal effectiveness and enforceability and there shall be no refund of any amount paid.

c. Conditions for participation in the temporary program to resolve outstanding judgments.

1. A respondent seeking resolution of a judgment resulting from a default decision and order under the temporary program to resolve outstanding judgments pursuant to paragraph one of subdivision a of this section shall admit liability for the violation that resulted in the default decision and order. A judgment resulting from a default decision and order may not be resolved under the temporary program to resolve outstanding judgments pursuant to paragraph one of subdivision a of this section if the respondent seeking resolution of the judgment fails or refuses to admit liability; and further participation in this temporary program and payment by either a respondent or a payor encompasses and includes the respondent's admission of liability.

2. A judgment shall not be resolved under the temporary program to resolve outstanding judgments pursuant to subdivision a of this section if a respondent or payor fails to pay the amounts described in subdivision a of this section to the department of finance within the period of such temporary program.

3. A respondent who is the subject of a criminal investigation relating to a violation that is the subject of the judgment shall not be eligible to participate in the temporary program to resolve outstanding judgments.

4. A resolution of a judgment under the temporary program to resolve outstanding judgments operated pursuant to this section shall constitute a waiver of all legal and factual defenses to liability for the judgment.

d. Program expiration. After the temporary program to resolve outstanding judgments operated pursuant to this section has concluded, any judgment that remains outstanding and has not been resolved by this program shall have full legal effectiveness and enforceability regardless of whether it could have been resolved under this program.

e. Exception. The provisions of the temporary program to resolve outstanding judgments operated pursuant to this section shall not apply where the applicable violation creates an imminent threat to public health or safety.

f. Nothing in this section creates a private right of action for any respondent.

§ 3. Violations for existing accessory signs. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no applicable violations shall be issued on or after the effective date of this section for an accessory sign in existence on or before the effective date of this section for a period of two years commencing on the effective date of this section, unless such accessory sign creates an imminent threat to public health or safety or the commissioner of buildings determines that such sign is otherwise not eligible for the temporary waiver created under this section.

§ 4. Temporary assistance for respondents.

a.
