§ 13-07 Extension of Stay.
RCNY § 13-07
In the event a new owner shall apply for an extension of a stay previously granted, the Department may grant such stay if the new owner: (a) Makes an application for such extension at least five (5) days prior to the expiration of the correction date set forth in the agreement described in 28 RCNY § 13-06; (b) Clearly demonstrates to the Department that: (1) the inability to correct in a timely manner was caused by circumstances substantially beyond the control of the new owner, or that the impediments were not reasonably foreseeable at the time the new owner applied for and was granted the original stay; (2) no course of action, other than the one undertaken by the new owner could have achieved correction within the time set forth in the original stay agreement; and, (3) the new owner has devised a reasonable course of action which he or she intends to pursue if an extension of the stay is granted by the Department, which course of action would remove or circumvent any impediments to correction within the time allowed for an extension of the stay; (c) Submits any data or information requested by the Department which may include the following: (1) any information described in 28 RCNY §§ 13-05 or 13-07(b); (2) documentation of the actions taken to achieve correction, including receipted bills and/or cancelled checks for any work performed or materials supplied; (3) a statement by the new owner as to the impediments to correction which presently exist; or, (4) such additional information of any nature as the Department may request to assist it in making a determination as to whether and how long an extension in the stay should be granted; and (d) Executes an agreement prepared by the Department which sets forth an exact schedule of removal of all violations for which the new owner is seeking an extension of a stay and in which the new owner acknowledges the new dates for correction and his or her responsibility to correct by those dates and, where applicable or required, consents to the extension agreement being entered as an amendment to an order of the New York City Civil Court.
