(a) Pursuant to § 28-204.1 of the Administrative Code, any person who shall violate or fail to comply with any provision or provisions of law enforced by the Department or with any order issued pursuant thereto shall be liable for a civil penalty that may be recovered in a proceeding before the Environmental Control Board ("ECB"). Such proceeding shall be commenced by service of a notice of violation ("NOV") returnable before the board. Such notice of violation may be issued by employees of the Department or of other city agencies designated by the Commissioner and may be served by such employees or by a licensed process server.
(b) Classification of violations. For purposes of classifying violations pursuant to § 28-201.2 of the Administrative Code, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(1) IMMEDIATELY HAZARDOUS VIOLATION. Immediately hazardous violations are those specified as such by the New York City Construction Codes, or those where the violating condition poses a threat that severely affects life, health, safety, property, the public interest, or a significant number of persons so as to warrant immediate corrective action, or, with respect to outdoor advertising, those where the violation and penalty are necessary as an economic disincentive to the continuation or the repetition of the violating condition. Immediately hazardous violations shall be denominated as Class 1 violations.
(2) MAJOR VIOLATION. Major violations are those specified as such by the New York City Construction Codes or those where the violating condition affects life, health, safety, property, or the public interest but does not require immediate corrective action, or, with respect to outdoor advertising, those where the violation and penalty are appropriate as an economic disincentive to the continuation or the repetition of the violating condition. Major violations shall be denominated as Class 2 violations.
(3) LESSER VIOLATION. Lesser violations are those where the violating condition has a lesser effect than an immediately hazardous (Class 1) or major violation (Class 2) on life, health, safety, property, or the public interest. Lesser violations shall be denominated as Class 3 violations.
(c) Correction and certification of correction.
(1) Each NOV issued by the Commissioner shall contain an order of the Commissioner directing the respondent to correct the condition constituting the violation and to file a certification with the Department that the condition has been corrected.
(2) Violations classified as major or lesser must be corrected within sixty days from the date of service of the NOV.
(3) A violation for filing a false certification cannot be certified as corrected prior to a hearing before ECB. The respondent must appear at the hearing prior to the submission of the certification to the Department.
(4) The required certification shall be completed on the form issued with the NOV or obtained from the Department in accordance with the instructions contained therein.
(5) The respondent must appear at the ECB hearing for all violating conditions unless those charges are cured or a pre-hearing stipulation is offered, timely accepted by the respondent, and approved in writing by ECB. Where more than one violation of law is listed on the same NOV, the respondent may submit a single certification covering one or all of the violating conditions.
(6) The certification shall be signed by one with personal knowledge of the correction of the violating condition and notarized by a notary public or commissioner of deeds.
(7) The certification shall be accompanied by true and legible copies of any and all documentary proof of compliance.
(8) The completed certification must be returned to the Department at the address provided on the City's website, nyc.gov.
(9) For violations classified as Class 3 or for those Class 2 violations eligible for a cure, respondents may avoid a hearing by submitting a certification of correction acceptable to and received by the Department no later than sixty days from the date of service of the NOV. For violations classified as Class 1, a certification acceptable to the Department must be received by the Department forthwith.
(10) Failure to submit an acceptable certification for all violating conditions indicated on the NOV on a Department of Buildings form within the time period prescribed in paragraph (9) of this subdivision shall require the respondent to appear at a hearing at ECB on the date indicated on the NOV. If no certificate of correction is received within the time period prescribed in paragraph (9) of this subdivision, the respondent is also subject to issuance of a violation for failure to certify correction and the imposition of civil penalties as defined in § 28-202.1 of the Administrative Code.
(d) Mitigated and zero penalties. Mitigated or zero penalties are available in the following circumstances under the following conditions.
(1) Cure.1
An eligible violation may be cured by correction before the first scheduled hearing date at ECB. All violations that are designated as Class 3 violations are eligible for cure. Some, but not all, types of violations that are designated as Class 2 violations are eligible for cure. Those types of Class 2 violations that are eligible for cure will be indicated within the Buildings Penalty Schedule found below. In order to cure, a certificate of correction acceptable to the Department must be filed at the Department within sixty days from the date of service of the NOV. A cure constitutes an admission of the violation; dispenses with the need for a hearing at ECB; constitutes a predicate violation for subsequent violations; and, consistent with the provisions of § 28-204.2, and with the provisions of the Buildings Penalty Schedule, results in a zero penalty. A violation that has been charged as an Aggravated I or Aggravated II violation is never eligible for a cure, even if there is a "Yes" in the "Cure" column in the Buildings Penalty Schedule for that violation description.
1
Section 28-204.2 of the Administrative Code provides for a zero penalty for Lesser violations that are corrected within the prescribed, or cure, period. For purposes of this rule, certain Major violations will also be treated as eligible for cure to the extent that § 28-202.1 of the Administrative Code specifies no minimum penalty for such violations.
(2) Stipulation. An eligible violation may be subject to stipulation where the Commissioner offers to the respondent a stipulation prior to or at a hearing to extend the time for compliance upon such terms and conditions as the Commissioner prescribes. Violations that are eligible for stipulation are indicated as such on the Buildings Penalty Schedule. The respondent must admit the violation subject to stipulation and agree to correct it and file an acceptable certification of correction with the Department. The stipulation may be signed and submitted to ECB either before the first scheduled hearing date at ECB or else on the first scheduled hearing date but prior to any actual hearing on that date, in which case it is considered a pre-hearing stipulation, or may be entered into at the first ECB hearing in which case it is considered a hearing stipulation. A reduced penalty will be imposed in connection with a pre-hearing stipulation in an amount indicated for the charge in question in the Buildings Penalty Schedule. Specifically, the penalty imposed for that violation will be half of the penalty amount (rounded to the nearest dollar) of the penalty amount that would otherwise have been imposed at a hearing for that particular violation. In connection with a stipulation entered into at a hearing, a hearing penalty will be imposed in an amount indicated for the charge in question in the Buildings Penalty Schedule. A stipulation, whether a pre-hearing stipulation or a hearing stipulation, gives the respondent seventy-five days from the first scheduled hearing date within which to correct the violation and file a certificate of correction, failing which any reduced penalty that may have been imposed in connection with a pre-hearing stipulation will be adjusted to the standard hearing penalty set forth in the Buildings Penalty Schedule. A stipulation is effective only if it is approved by ECB. A pre-hearing stipulation dispenses with the need for a hearing at ECB. No stipulation shall take effect unless, in the case of a pre-hearing stipulation, it is offered by the Department prior to the first scheduled hearing date, signed by respondent prior to the first scheduled hearing date and approved by ECB in writing, or unless, in the case of a hearing stipulation, it is offered by the Department at the hearing, accepted by the respondent at that hearing, and is approved in writing by ECB. A violation that has been charged as an Aggravated I or Aggravated II violation is never eligible for a stipulation, even if there is a "Yes" in the "Stipulation" column in the Buildings Penalty Schedule for that violation description.
(3) Mitigation. An eligible violation may be subject to mitigation where the respondent proves at the hearing that the condition was corrected prior to the first scheduled hearing date at ECB. Violations that are eligible for mitigation are indicated as such on the Buildings Penalty Schedule. A penalty is imposed on mitigations in accordance with the Buildings Penalty Schedule. If a mitigated penalty is imposed, that penalty will be half of the penalty amount of the penalty amount that would otherwise have been imposed at a hearing for that particular violation. An acceptable certificate of correction must thereafter be filed at the Department. A violation that has been charged as an Aggravated I or Aggravated II violation is never eligible for mitigation, even if there is a "Yes" in the "Mitigation" column in the Buildings Penalty Schedule for that violation description.
(e) Certificate of correction review procedures.
(1) The Department shall review all certificates and accompanying documentation to determine their acceptability.
(2) The Department shall notify the respondent if the certification is accepted or rejected and, if rejected, the reasons for the rejection and the documents necessary to correct the problem.
(f) Aggravated penalties. Aggravated penalties may be imposed with the following provisions. Notice of aggravated penalties may either be set forth in the NOV or otherwise provided to the respondent prior to the date of the first scheduled hearing at ECB.
(1) Aggravated penalties of the first order. Aggravated penalties of the first order ("Agg. I") may be imposed when evidence establishes the same condition or the same charge under the New York City Construction Codes or the predecessor charge under the laws in effect prior to July 1, 2008 in a prior enforcement action against the same owner or responsible party during the previous three years.
(2) Aggravated penalties of the second order. Aggravated penalties of the second order ("Agg. II") may be imposed in the following instances:
(i) When the respondent or defendant is found in violation of any law or rule enforced by the Department where the violation of law is accompanied by or results in an accident, or poses a substantial risk thereof; is accompanied by, or results in a fatality or serious injury, or poses a substantial risk thereof; or where the violating condition affects a significant number of people; or
(ii) Where the respondent or defendant refuses to give the Department requested information necessary to determine the condition of a building or site; or
(iii) Where the respondent or defendant has a history of non-compliance with laws or rules enforced by the Department at one or more locations, including but not limited to a pattern of unreasonable delays in correcting violations, a pattern of failing to obey Stop Work Orders, filing false documents, or multiple defaults.
(iv) For purposes of this section, "in violation" shall mean to be adjudged in violation of any law or rule enforced by the Department following a hearing, to admit the charge, or to sign a stipulation agreement either at or before a hearing before any administrative or judicial tribunal. Failure to appear at a hearing leading to entry of a default order or judgment shall also be deemed a finding "in violation."
(g) Additional Daily and Monthly Penalties. Additional daily penalties may be imposed in connection with certain continuing and uncorrected Class 1 violations. Additional monthly penalties may be imposed in connection with certain continuing and uncorrected Class 2 violations. If the Department seeks such penalties in connection with a particular Class 1 or Class 2 charge, that will be indicated on the NOV. Such daily or monthly penalties, if applicable, are in addition to the set, flat-amount penalty that also is indicated in the Buildings Penalty Schedule as applicable to the type of violation in question taking into account the classification level and Aggravated level of the particular violation. Imposition of such additional daily and monthly penalties is authorized pursuant to § 28-202.1 of the New York City Administrative Code.
(1) Accrual of Daily Penalties. Daily penalties, if applicable, will accrue at the rate of $1,000 per day for a total of forty-five days running from the date of the Commissioner's order to correct set forth in the NOV, unless the violating condition is proved by the respondent at the hearing to have been corrected prior to the end of that forty-five day period, in which case the daily penalties will accrue for every day up to the date of that proved correction.
(2) Accrual of Monthly Penalties. Monthly penalties, if applicable, accrue at the rate of $250 per month for a total of one month running from the date of the Commissioner's order to correct set forth in the NOV, unless the violating condition is proved by the respondent at the hearing to have been corrected prior to the end of a month period.
(h) Applicability. On and after July 1, 2008 any work performed without a required permit will be presumed subject to enforcement under the New York City Construction Codes. Thus, the option afforded by § 28-101.4 to use the either the 1968 Building Code or the New York City Construction Codes applies only to work for which an application is filed with the Department. If and when the work is the subject of an application to legalize, the option will be available once again.
