§ 47.75 Modification of Provisions.
RCNY § 47.75
(a)Modification by Department. When the Department determines that the strict application of any provision of this Article presents practical difficulties, the Commissioner or their designee may, in a specific instance, modify the application of such provision consistent with the general purpose of this Article and upon such condition(s) the Department deems necessary to protect life and health. Failure to comply with the terms of a modification may render such modification null and void and result in enforcement by the Department. The denial of a request for modification by the Commissioner shall be deemed a final agency determination.
(b)Fee waiver. Upon the submission of proof satisfactory to the Commissioner that an applicant for a permit is a program which is fully funded by the Administration for Children's Services (ACS), the New York City Human Resources Administration, the New York City Department of Homeless Services, or a successor agency, as an ACS Group Child Care Center, Head Start or other child care or supervision program, the permit fee required by 24 RCNY Health Code Article 5 shall be waived. Such waiver shall continue in effect provided the applicant program remains fully funded.
