Bill > A01611

This bill removes the eight-year expiration limit on judgments entered by the New York City Environmental Control Board (ECB). Currently, ECB judgments automatically expire after eight years, but this legislation would eliminate that time restriction, allowing these judgments to remain in effect indefinitely. The Environmental Control Board is an administrative tribunal within New York City that handles violations related to environmental, health, and safety codes. By repealing the existing time limitation in subparagraph (i) of paragraph 1 of subdivision d of section 1049-a of the New York City Charter, the bill ensures that ECB judgments will continue to be enforceable beyond the previous eight-year timeframe. This change could potentially strengthen the city's ability to enforce environmental and safety regulations by maintaining the legal weight of these judgments for a longer period. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage.
