Fwd: Department of Finance Launches "Forgiving Fines: the New York City Amnesty Program"

Hello,

The Department of Finance wants to make sure you and your members are aware of our "Forgiving Fines: The New York City Amnesty Program," which runs from September 12, 2016 -December 12, 2016.  

 

"Forgiving Fines: New York City Amnesty Program," is a DOF program that forgives penalties and interest on violations received by individuals and business owners from the Department of Sanitation, Department of Buildings and other City agencies. The program covers violations left unpaid that are now in judgment. To have a violation in judgment means the City of New York has files a public record of liability due on a violation for the entire amount.  To find out more information, and the most frequently asked questions on "Forgiving Fines: The NYC Amnesty Program," visit www.nyc.gov/forgivigfines.

 

Also, please find a flyer attached that you can share with your members.

 

If you have any questions, please let me know.
