\"DOBHere\u2019s good news if you owe New York City money for a violation: The city has launched its \u201cForgiving Fines<\/a>\u201d amnesty program to help resolve fines issued by the Department of Buildings (DOB), Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC), and other city agencies.<\/p>\n

Up until December 12, 2016, the city will reduce penalties and interest for many violations in judgement before the Environmental Control Board (ECB). A violation in judgement means the city has filed a public record of the violation with the amount owed plus penalties and interest.<\/p>\n

Under the amnesty program, penalties and interest may be eliminated, and an additional 25% discount off the original base penalty amount may be applicable.<\/p>\n

The program covers two types of violations: those that require payment only (\u201cSchedule A\u201d violation), and those that require both payment and corrective action (\u201cSchedule B\u201d).<\/p>\n

To meet the amnesty requirements, Schedule A fines must be paid in full by December 12, 2016. For schedule B fines, at least 25% of the amount due must be paid by December 12, 2016 and the violation must be corrected and the remainder of the balance paid within six months of the initial payment.<\/p>\n

Only judgements filed in court before June 12, 2016 are eligible for the program.<\/p>\n
