Volume 6 | Issue 6: Some ECB Judgments May Now Qualify For A Reduced Fine Amount

The City of New York is offering a temporary program called “FAIRER” (Fines and Interest Reduction Enabling Recovery) which is geared toward allowing you to pay a reduced amount for certain eligible Environmental Control Board judgments.

If you have unpaid OATH ECB judgments that are eligible for the FAIRER Program, you may be able to save up to 75% and have the penalties and interest associated with your judgments waived.

The program which runs through December 20, 2021 is administered by the Department of Finance (DOF) and allows respondents named on violations to resolve outstanding Environmental Control Board (ECB) judgments issued by various city agencies and adjudicated by the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH).

The amount that you can save will depend upon when your violations went into judgment and whether the Respondent named on the violation attended a hearing held by the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings.

Please feel free to contact Kevin Danielson, Esq. if you would like to engage RPO for consultation pertaining to this program or for any of your violation needs.
