Adopted rule summary:

The New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) is amending its rule relating to its penalty schedule for those violations that are returnable to the Hearings Division of the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH Hearings).

OATH Hearings is in the process of repealing all penalty schedules in its rules so they can be relocated to the rules of the enforcement agencies with primary rulemaking and policymaking jurisdiction over the laws that underlie these penalties. DSNY is moving the rest of its existing penalty schedule that is currently found in Title 48 of the RCNY, in which a range of penalties are found in the authorizing sections of the Administrative Code or provisions of state law. Provisions of the existing penalty schedule found in Title 48 of the RCNY and any other provisions found in the Administrative Code that contain fixed penalties will not be included in this schedule.
