Adopted rule summary:

Notice of adoption of amendments to Article 131 of the New York City Health Code stated that the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is eliminating the appeal process in section 131.19 for cases when the Commissioner declines a request to modify provisions of Article 131 as they apply to a specific property. Such an appeal is not required by law and is an inefficient use of agency resources, and this amendment conforms the modification provision in 131.19 to modification provisions in other articles of the Health Code. No testimony was provided at the hearing on November 14, 2024.

    You now have three agencies ruling on temperature. How many personnel cost the City aka taxpayers. They are tripping over each other trying to write violations. When I worked for The S.C.A. you had four agencies working on the same school at one time with conflicting plans, workers and overreach . D.D.C,.S.C.A., D.P.R., NYC D.S.F from the former B.O.E. now DOE.
