Adopted rule summary:

The Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH) is adding a new section to subchapter F of Chapter 6 of title 48 of the Rules of the City of New York to establish a process by which the City Sheriff may move to amend a judgment to designate a judgment debtor by the correct legal name. This rule is necessary to implement New York City Administrative Code section 7-551(d) and provide the office of the City Sheriff with a process to amend a judgment and correctly identify a judgment debtor when: (i) the judgment identifies the debtor solely by their address or (ii) the debtor's name is misspelled or contains errors.
