RCNY § 1-33
(a)General. Except as otherwise limited by law, the Law Enforcement Bureau may (i) demand from any person or party the production of materials relevant to a Commission investigation, including but not limited to documents, electronically stored information, or other materials; (ii) conduct interviews or depositions of any person; and (iii) undertake testing and such other investigatory tasks as the Law Enforcement Bureau deems appropriate.
(b)Demands for preservation of records. The Law Enforcement Bureau is authorized to make demands for the preservation of records and for the continuation of the practice of making and keeping records as permitted by § 8-114(b) of the Code. Such demand for preservation of records is effective immediately at the time of service of the demand and will remain in effect until the termination of all proceedings relating to any complaint or civil action commenced, including after the time for appeal has expired, or if no complaint or civil action is filed, will expire two years after the date of service of the preservation demand. A demand for preservation must require that records preserved pursuant to the demand be made available for inspection by the Law Enforcement Bureau and/or be filed with the Law Enforcement Bureau. For purposes of this provision, the term "records" means any form of recorded information, regardless of form or characteristics, including but not limited to books, papers, electronically-stored information, photographs, spreadsheets, graphs, maps, charts, drawings, audio recordings, video recordings, and machine-readable materials.
