One-Click Appeals Form

You cannot use Internet Explorer to file this online form. Please use Microsoft Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Safari as your web browser to correctly submit this online form.

The easiest way to appeal a decision, respond to an appeal filed by the opposing party, or request more time to file an appeal or respond to an appeal is by using OATH's universal electronic Appeal Application one-click form because it will send the appeal (or response or extension request) at the same time to both the Hearings Division Appeals Unit and the agency that issued you the summons. If you do not file your appeal, response, or extension online, there will be extra steps you need to take to file by mail.

You must submit your online appeal within 30 days of the date of the hearing decision, or 35 days if the decision was mailed to you. The electronic Appeal Application form is available below.

When you have completed the application, click the Submit button at the end of the form to finalize the one-click form.

Summons Numbers* comma separated

Case Type*

Select the agency that issued the summons(es) being appealed. You can find the name of the agency on the top left corner of the summons(es). If there is not an agency name listed on the top left corner, and you are not represented by a lawyer or registered representative, you may contact the Help Center using the Online Contact Form or at 212-436-0845 for assistance in identifying the agency that needs to be served.

Note: Some summonses alleging violations of New York City’s Air Code, including idling an engine, and Noise Code may be issued by Citizen Petitioners instead of by a City government agency. If your summons was issued by a Citizen Petitioner, it will state “CITIZEN PETITIONER:” followed by that person’s name at the top of the summons. In the “Case Type” drop down menu below, please select “Citizen Petitioner.” Please note that this online form will not automatically serve a copy on the Citizen Petitioner. Instead, you must save a copy of the confirmation page that displays after you submit this form. You must then serve the confirmation page on the Citizen Petitioner by sending it to that person’s contact information listed at the top of the summons. By selecting “Citizen Petitioner” you are affirming under penalty of perjury that following submission of this form, you will serve a copy of the confirmation page on the Citizen Petitioner at the contact information listed for that person on the summons.
