In accordance with 2 RCNY § 1-10.6, the applicant must forward a copy of the hearing notice and related forms at least twenty (20) days before the first scheduled hearing date, as follows: (a) Appeal of Agency Final Determination: (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subdivision, the applicant must provide the hearing notice to the applicable administrative agency that signed the determination which is the subject of the appeal and, if applicable, the owner of the subject property.

The applicant must submit the hearing notice to affected property owners with instructions that if the property is a cooperative or condominium, all tenants should be notified in the manner customarily employed by the cooperative or condominium.
