§ 11-62 Failure to Comply with Special Permits, Variances, Authorizations or Certifications

ZR § 11-62

Failure to comply with any conditions or restrictions in special permits, variances, authorizations or certifications granted under this Resolution shall constitute a violation of this Resolution and may constitute the basis for denial or revocation of a building permit or certificate of occupancy, or for revocation of such special permit, variance, authorization or certification, and for all other applicable remedies.

In any application for modification, renewal or extension of a previously granted special permit, authorization or certification, or for modification or renewal of a previously granted variance, the applicant shall verify whether it has complied with each of the conditions and safeguards theretofore prescribed by the City Planning Commission, the Board of Estimate or the Board of Standards and Appeals, or their successors, as applicable. In the event that the applicant has not complied with such conditions and safeguards, such non-compliance may constitute grounds for the City Planning Commission, the Board of Estimate or the Board of Standards and Appeals, or their successors, as applicable, to disapprove the application for modification, renewal or extension.
