RCNY § 3-21
(a)Scope. This section governs cease and desist actions brought by the Board pursuant to Administrative Code §§ 24-178, 24-257, or 24-524, after Respondent has had notice and an opportunity for a hearing on the violations alleged pursuant to the provisions of §§ 24-178, 24-263, or 24-524 as appropriate, and has failed to comply with orders issued by the Board in such proceedings.
(b)Issuance of Order and Notice. Cease and desist actions are commenced by the Board issuing an order to cease and desist and a notice of special hearing. The order and notice will identify the particular compliance order, previously issued after an adjudicatory hearing or finding of default, which Respondent is alleged to have disregarded, and the activity, equipment, device and/or process involved. The order will direct Respondent to show cause at a special hearing why the equipment, device or process should not be sealed and additional penalties should not be imposed, and will notify Respondent that, if Respondent does not appear as directed, the Board's order will be implemented.
(c)Service. The order to cease and desist and notice of special hearing will be served personally and by regular mail. (Added City Record 7/8/2016, eff. 8/7/2016; amended City Record 8/20/2021, eff. 9/19/2021)
