The Civil Service Commission (“CSC”) is an independent, “quasi-judicial” agency authorized pursuant to Chapter 35, §813 of the New York City Charter, that may hear and decide appeals of agency determinations pursuant to §50 and §76 of the New York State Civil Service Law. The CSC may also hear and decide appeals of agency determinations pursuant to §72 of the New York State Civil Service Law when so designated by the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (“DCAS”).
The CSC hears and decides appeals of three types of agency determinations: (1) §50 Candidate Disqualifications (2) §76 Adverse Discipline and (3) §72 Involuntary Medical Leave aka Medical Separations
The CSC does not have jurisdiction to hear and decide appeals filed by uniformed NYPD police officers disciplined pursuant to 14-115 of the N.Y.C. Admin. Code. Matter of Montella v. William J. Bratton, 93 N.Y.2d 424 (1999), nor does it have jurisdiction to hear and decide appeals filed by uniformed FDNY firefighters disciplined pursuant to 15-113 of the N.Y.C. Admin. Code. Matter of Thomas Von Essen v. New York City Civil Service Commission, 4 N.Y.3d 220 (2005).
Individuals who appeal agency decisions pursuant to §50 and §76 of the Civil Service Law may file their appeals with the CSC. The CSC only hears §72 appeals when so designated by DCAS. The CSC is authorized to hold hearings, examine witnesses, and receive evidence. The CSC reviews the record and makes a determination that is final and binding on the parties. The losing party may appeal adverse CSC decisions by filing an Article 78 with the Supreme Court of the State of New York.
