§ 6-15 Adjournments for Inspector Testimony.
RCNY § 6-15
(a)Upon request of either party, a Hearing Officer may grant an adjournment for the testimony of an Inspector if the Hearing Officer finds that the Inspector's testimony is likely to be necessary to a fair hearing on the violation(s) charged and/or the defense(s) asserted.
(b)If a Hearing Officer has adjourned a hearing solely for the purpose of obtaining the Inspector's testimony, and the Respondent timely appears on the adjourned hearing date but the Inspector fails timely to appear, the hearing shall not be further adjourned solely to obtain the testimony of such Inspector, unless the Respondent consents to the second adjournment or the Hearing Officer finds that extraordinary circumstances warrant the second adjournment. "Extraordinary circumstances" are circumstances that could not have been reasonably foreseen by the Petitioner.
(c)A Hearing Officer may not adjourn a hearing on more than two (2) occasions for the appearance of the Inspector. (Amended City Record 6/1/2015, eff. 7/1/2015; amended City Record 7/8/2016, eff. 8/7/2016; amended City Record 12/5/2018, eff. 1/4/2019)
