Local Law 50 of 2022 amended section 28-219.1 of the New York City Administrative Code to remove the minimum penalty for failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition and to exempt 1-4 family homes. The local law also limited the violations eligible for the penalty to those issued for an immediately hazardous condition at construction sites.

Section 102-05 is being amended to conform to the provisions of Local Law 50/22.

In addition, Local Law 126 of 2021 added a requirement to section 28-219.1 that the civil penalty be paid before a certificate of correction can be accepted for the violation that led to the civil penalty. Similar language is being added to the rule to conform it to this provision.

The rule codifies the process by which the department imposes such penalties and the manner in which such penalties may be challenged.
