§ 11-84 Notice of Determination and Right to Appeal.
RCNY § 11-84
(a)The director of certification shall provide the applicant with written notice of a determination approving or denying certification.
(b)In the event certification is approved by the director of certification, the applicant will be sent a certification letter and will be certified as an EBE for five (5) years from the date of the certification letter or until notified for the need to reapply at the director of certification's request, whichever is earlier.
(c)In the event certification is denied by the director of EBE, a written notice of such determination shall be provided to the applicant stating the reason(s) for such denial. Such notice shall also state the procedures for filing an appeal.
(d)The applicant may appeal the determination within thirty (30) 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 thirty (30) day period, the director of certification's determination shall 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 director of certification, may be granted permission to reapply sooner.
(e)The request for an appeal shall state the grounds upon which the denial of certification is being appealed.
