§ 11-24 Notice of Determination and Right to Appeal.
RCNY § 11-24
(a)The division will provide the applicant with written notice of a determination approving or denying the certification.
(b)In the event certification is approved by the division, the applicant must be sent a certification letter and will be certified as an MBE and/or WBE for five years from the date of the certification letter or until notified of the need to reapply at the division's request, whichever is earlier, so long as the applicant submits to the division an affidavit of no material change in ownership or control annually.
(c)In the event certification is denied by the division, a written notice of such determination will be provided to the applicant stating the reason(s) for such denial. Such notice will also state the procedures for filing an appeal.
(d)The applicant may appeal the determination within sixty (60) days after the date of the notice denying the business enterprise's certification. In the event that a request for an appeal is not made within the sixty (60) day period, the division's determination will be deemed final and the applicant may not reapply for certification for two (2) years from the date of the written notice denying certification, provided, however, that if the facts and circumstances forming the basis of the denial decision have changed significantly, the applicant, at the discretion of the division, may be granted permission to reapply sooner.
(e)The request for an appeal must state the grounds upon which the denial of certification is being appealed. (Amended City Record 5/25/2021, eff. 6/24/2021)
