§ 7-06 Extension to Complete Community Service.

RCNY § 7-06

(a)A Respondent may request an extension of time to complete the Community Service through the Help Center prior to the deadline to complete the Community Service specified in the Decision.

(b)Extensions of time to complete Community Service are not available for Respondents who wish to admit to the Specified Violation by completing OATH's online Community Service course on or before the hearing date.

(c)(1) OATH's Help Center may grant a request for an extension to complete Community Service for good cause shown. In determining whether there is good cause for an extension, the Help Center will consider factors such as the following: (A) The length of extension requested; (B) The number of hours of Community Service to be completed and the amount of the monetary civil penalty that would be due; (C) The number of prior extensions requested; (D) Whether the need for the extension is due to factors beyond Respondent's control or due to extraordinary circumstances; and (E) Whether a portion of the Community Service has been completed.

(2)A denial of a request for an extension is not subject to appeal at OATH.

(3)A request for extension of time to complete Community Service will not extend the date by which a Respondent must pay the monetary civil penalty. If a request for an extension is denied, the Respondent must either complete the Community Service by the date specified in the Decision, or pay the applicable monetary civil penalty thirty (30) days from the date of the Decision or thirty-five (35) days if the Decision is mailed.
