§ 6-80 Construction Labor Providers Penalty Schedule.

RCNY § 6-80

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, and any other provisions 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. 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. Unless otherwise specified by law, a second, or third and subsequent violation means a violation by the same respondent, or such respondent's successor(s) as defined by section 20-564 of the Administrative Code, whether by pleading guilty, being found guilty in a decision, or entering into a settlement agreement for violating the same provision of law or rule, within one year of the prior violation(s). Penalties for violations of 20-564.1(a) of the Administrative Code accrue daily for every day during which the unlicensed construction labor provider operated. Each covered construction worker or third-party client for whom the construction labor provider did not provide a notification in accordance with section 20-564.2 constitutes a separate and distinct offense. Each day during which a third-party client accepts the services of a covered construction worker in violation of section 20-564.4 of the Administrative Code constitutes a separate and distinct offense.
