§ 3-18 Stipulation in Lieu of Hearing.
RCNY § 3-18
(a)At any time before the Hearing Officer issues a recommended decision, the Petitioner may offer the Respondent a settlement of the summons by stipulation in lieu of further hearing. The stipulation must contain an admission of the violation, the further facts stipulated to, if any, the amount of the penalty to be imposed, and the compliance ordered, if any.
(b)If entered into by Respondent and filed with the Tribunal prior to the first scheduled hearing date, the stipulation will be reviewed by the Executive Director or his or her designee. The Tribunal as authorized by the Board will, after receiving such stipulation, issue a final decision incorporating the terms of the stipulation. If the stipulation is not acceptable to the Tribunal, the matter will be rescheduled for further hearing.
(c)If entered into during the course of a hearing and approved by the Hearing Officer, the stipulation will be incorporated into the Hearing Officer's recommended decision.
(d)Decisions based upon stipulations may not be appealed. (Added City Record 7/8/2016, eff. 8/7/2016)
