§ 14-11 Emergency Suspension of Registration or Photo Identification Cards.
RCNY § 14-11
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Chairperson may, if he or she has reasonable cause to believe that the operation of a market business or the presence of any person in the market area 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, as applicable, without a prior hearing, provided that, such suspension may be appealed to the Deputy Commissioner of Legal Affairs. If such Deputy Commissioner upholds the suspension imposed by the market manager, an opportunity for a hearing pursuant to the provisions of 17 RCNY § 11-21 shall be provided on an expedited basis within a period not to exceed four (4) business days, and the Commission shall issue a final determination no later than four (4) business days following the conclusion of such hearing. The Commission may, upon application by a market business whose registration has been suspended without a prior hearing, permit such market business to remain in the market area 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 public and the market area.
