The Commissioner of DOT is authorized to promulgate rules regarding parking and traffic operations and highway operations in the City pursuant to Sections 1043 and 2903 of the New York City Charter. The rule that DOT is adding is contained within new Chapter 3 of Title 34 of the Rules of the City of New York relating to DOT’s Penalty Schedule.
•	relocate the Department of Transportation (DOT) Penalty Schedule from the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings Environmental Control Board (OATH/ECB) rules in Chapter 3 of Title 48 of the Rules of the City of New York to DOT’s rules in Title 34 of the Rules of the City of New York;
•	update the schedule as needed to reflect recently adopted rules and changes to the law; and
•	provide clearer, more concise language including by replacing abbreviations ‘w/o’ and ‘s/w’ with ‘without’ and ‘sidewalk’, respectively.
Although OATH/ECB is empowered to impose penalties under the New York City Charter and has until now promulgated penalty schedules, enforcement agencies like DOT have the expertise to recommend appropriate penalties based on the severity of each violation and its effect on City residents. Moving the penalty schedule will also make it easier for the public to find the penalties, which will be located within the same title as the rules supporting the violations alleged in the summonses. Finally, the rule relocation will speed up the rulemaking process by eliminating the need for OATH/ECB approval of proposed or amended penalties for agency rules that have already gone through the City Administrative Procedure Act (CAPA) rulemaking process.
Working with the City’s rulemaking agencies, the Law Department, the Mayor’s Office of Management and Budget, and the Mayor’s Office of Operations conducted a retrospective rules review of the City’s existing rules, identifying those rules that will be repealed or modified to reduce regulatory burdens, increase equity, support small businesses, and to simplify and update content to help support public understanding and compliance. The repeal and relocation of 48 RCNY § 3-124, the current rule containing OATH/ECB’s DOT penalty schedule, was identified as meeting the criteria for this initiative.
In addition to being relocated into Title 34 of the Rules of the City of New York, the DOT penalty schedule is updated to add new penalties and default amounts for the following: Administrative Code sections 19-151, 19-176.2, 19-191, 19-196 as well as sections 2-07(a)(2), 2-07(b)(2), 2-09(g)(1)(i), 2-11(c)(1)(iii), 2-11(e)(10)(vii), 2-11(e)(10)(viii), 2-11 (e)(12)(ix),
2-20(q)(7), and 4-16 of the Rules of the City of New York (RCNY). These new penalty amounts range from $250 to $20,000.
The descriptions for the following sections are updated to reflect recently adopted language: 2-11(e)(2), 2-11(e)(11)(iv), 2-11(e)(13)(vi), 2-11(e)(16)(iii), 2-11(f)(4)(v). The penalties for these sections have not been changed.

The Fire Department is proposing to amend existing rules 3 RCNY §§ 109-01 and 109-02 to reflect changes in the administrative body that adjudicates most Fire Department violations and to the name of the violation form returnable to that body. The Fire Department is also proposing to adopt a penalty schedule as a new Fire Department rule, 3 RCNY §109-03.
The Fire Department is responsible for enforcing the New York City Fire Code (FC) (Title 29 of the Administrative Code); Title 15 of the Administrative Code (Fire Prevention and Control); the New York City Construction Codes (Title 28 of the Administrative Code); and the rules promulgated by the Department and codified in Title 3 of the Rules of the City of New York (“RCNY”).
The Fire Department conducts enforcement by, among other things, issuing “FDNY Summonses” to people and businesses that violate the above laws and rules. FDNY Summonses are returnable to the New York City Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (“OATH”) acting pursuant to Section 1049-a of the New York City Charter, which relates to the Environmental Control Board (“ECB”). In 2008, ECB became part of OATH. The new procedural rules of OATH’s Hearings Division, found in Chapter 6 of the Rules of the City of New York, use the term “Summons” rather than “Notice of Violation.”
Accordingly, to reflect the changes described above, the Fire Department now proposes conforming amendments to Sections 109-01 and 109-02 of its rules.
Additionally, the Fire Department’s penalty schedule used in the adjudication of agency violations, which defines the penalties associated with each type of violation of the above laws and rules, will now be included in the Fire Department’s rules. The Department’s penalty schedule is currently promulgated as part of the OATH rules, and that rule will be repealed by OATH simultaneous with the Fire Department’s adoption of this rule.
The enforcement agencies possess the expertise to adopt appropriate penalties based upon the severity of each violation and its corresponding impact on public safety. Making the penalty schedule part of the issuing agency’s rules will make it more accessible to the public as it will now be located in the same title and chapter as the rules cited in the FDNY Summonses.
Accordingly, the Fire Department hereby proposes adoption of a new rule, 3 RCNY §109‑03, which sets forth a penalty schedule for FDNY Summonses. The proposed penalty schedule is unchanged from the existing penalty schedule, which is currently codified as 48 RCNY §3‑106 of OATH rules, except that the violation categories for flashback arrestor, backflow valves and gas boosters (BF34) and for cryogenic fluids (BF36) have been eliminated. Such violations will be integrated into the applicable Violation Categories in a separate rulemaking.
The Fire Department’s proposed adoption of the penalty schedule is being undertaken in conjunction with OATH’s proposed repeal of the existing penalty schedule.
