§ 6-07 Default Judgments.

A Respondent may, within 30 days of receiving notice from the Department that a final default judgment has been issued against the Respondent and that the Department intends to enter and docket that judgment, both (a) request a stay of the default judgment for good cause shown, and (b) either request a new hearing at OATH or plead guilty to the charges in the default judgment. To make such a request, the Respondent must complete the form available on the Department's website and submit the form to the Department by mail or email. Before submitting such a request, however, the Respondent must first move to vacate the default judgment at OATH pursuant to 48 RCNY § 1-45 or 48 RCNY § 6-21, or any successor rule thereto.
