RCNY § 6-68
All citations are to Title 20 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York or Title 6 of the Rules of the City of New York. Unless otherwise specified, the penalties set forth for each section of law or rule shall also apply to all subdivisions, paragraphs, subparagraphs, clauses, items, or any other provision contained therein. Each subdivision, paragraph, subparagraph, clause, item, or other provision charged in the Notice of Violation shall constitute a separate violation of the law or rule. Unless otherwise specified by law, a second or third or subsequent violation means a violation by the same respondent, whether by admitting to the violation, being found in violation in a decision, or entering into a settlement agreement for violating the same provision of law or rule, within two years of the prior violation(s). In certain cases, the Department may ask for license suspension or revocation, as permitted by statute. If a respondent is found in violation of multiple provisions that require a suspension period, the suspension periods shall run concurrently. Continued unlicensed activity, pursuant to Section 20-472(c)(1) of the Administrative Code, means a second or third or subsequent violation by the same respondent, whether by admitting to the violation, being found in violation in a decision, or entering into a settlement agreement for violating the same provision of law or rule, within two years of the prior violation(s).
