In addition to the enforcement procedures established
under common law, New York State Civil Practice Law and Rules and
this Code, the Corporation Counsel may initiate an administrative
action seeking relief from a public nuisance. The following orders
may be issued after notice and opportunity for a hearing:
A. An order authorizing the discontinuance of the specific
activity at the premises where such public nuisance exists.
B. An order closing the premises to the extent necessary
to abate the public nuisance.
C. An order directing the payment of a fine.
D. An order granting such other relief as the hearing
panel recommends and the Mayor deems just and proper.
An administrative or closing order shall be
vacated, upon notice to the Corporation Counsel, if the owner or his/her
representative shows by affidavit and such other proof as may be submitted
to the hearing panel or Mayor that the public nuisance has been abated.
An order vacating an administrative or closing order shall include
a provision authorizing agencies of the City to periodically inspect
the premises which is the subject of the order to ascertain whether
the public nuisance has resumed.
