§ 10-03 Application.
RCNY § 10-03
(a)An application shall contain such information, in such form, as HPD shall require.
(b)An application shall be executed by an applicant. If the applicant is not an access authorizer, the application shall also be executed by an access authorizer.
(c)An application may be submitted to HPD (i) by hand delivery on business days, during such hours and in such location as HPD shall determine, (ii) by mail, or (iii) by private courier.
(d)The submission of any application shall be accompanied by certified check, bank check, or money order in the amount of the fee made payable to New York City Department of Finance.
(e)Following the submission of an application, HPD may request any additional information that HPD determines is relevant to the certification. If HPD sends a written request for additional information to the applicant by regular or certified mail at the address of the applicant set forth in the application, and HPD does not receive such additional information within thirty days following the mailing of such request, HPD may (i) reject the application, or (ii) review the application without such information and draw a negative inference with respect to the missing information.
(f)An application shall be deemed to be complete when the completed application, the fee, and the necessary supporting documentation have been received and acknowledged as sufficient by HPD.
(g)If HPD determines at any time that an application contains a material misstatement of fact, HPD may reject such application and bar the submission of a new application for a period not to exceed three years.
(h)HPD may refuse to accept, or to act upon, an application for a certification pursuant to the Zoning Resolution where HPD finds at any time that (i) taxes, water and sewer charges, emergency repair program charges, or other municipal charges remain unpaid with respect to the multiple dwelling, (ii) the multiple dwelling has been altered either without proper permits from DOB or in a way that conflicts with the certificate of occupancy for the multiple dwelling (or, where there is no certificate of occupancy, any record of HPD indicating the lawful configuration of the multiple dwelling) and such unlawful alteration remains uncorrected; or (iii) HPD has previously denied an application pursuant to the Zoning Resolution.
(i)If any information stated in an application changes at any time before HPD makes a final determination, the applicant shall promptly update the application with such new information and submit it to HPD. If such changed information includes any facts that would render the original applicant ineligible to submit the application, HPD may require that the amended application be executed by an individual who is at that time eligible to submit the application.
