§ 11-18 Emergency Suspension of Registration or Photo Identification Card.
RCNY § 11-18
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Chairperson may, if he or she has reasonable cause to believe that the operation of a wholesale business or market business or the presence of any person in the public wholesale market creates an imminent danger to life or property or to the orderly and lawful operation of the market, or that there has likely been false or fraudulent information submitted to the Commission, immediately suspend the registration of such business or the photo identification card of such person without a prior hearing, provided that such suspension may be appealed to the Deputy Commissioner for Legal Affairs of the Commission who shall determine such appeal forthwith. If the Deputy Commissioner for Legal Affairs upholds the suspension, an opportunity for a hearing pursuant to the provisions of subdivision (b) of 17 RCNY § 11-21 shall be provided on an expedited basis. The Commission shall issue a final determination no later than four (4) business days following the conclusion of such hearing. The Chairperson may, upon application by a wholesale business or market business whose registration has been suspended without a prior hearing, permit such business to remain in the market for such time as is necessary to allow for the expeditious sale, consignment or removal of a perishable product if, in the Commission's judgment, such permission is consistent with the safety of the market.
