§ 53-11 Suspension and Rescission.
(1) The Department may rescind a Certification of No Harassment or waiver at any time if it determines that the application for such Certification or waiver contained a material misstatement of fact.
(2) If the Department determines that there is reasonable cause to believe that Harassment has occurred after the date that it issued a Certification of No Harassment or a waiver, it may suspend such Certification or waiver. If such Certification or waiver was granted solely pursuant to the Administrative Code, the Department shall not suspend such Certification or waiver pursuant to the preceding sentence unless it determines that there is reasonable cause to believe that such harassment occurred before commencement of substantial work.
(3) If the Department determines that there is reasonable cause to believe that harassment has occurred after the date that it issued a Certification or a waiver, the Department shall deliver a notice of suspension to the Applicant. Notice of such suspension shall also be mailed to known tenants of the Pilot Program Building and shall be filed with the city register or Richmond County clerk. The Department shall refer the matter for hearing at the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings, provided, however, that if the Owner of the Pilot Program Building has been found by the New York State Homes and Community Renewal or any court having jurisdiction to have engaged in Harassment, unlawful eviction, or arson at such building after the Certification of No Harassment was granted, the Department may determine whether to rescind such Certification without commencing a proceeding at such office.
