Settlement Program

The Settlement Program is ending January 31, 2012. If you wish to pay the settlement amount, Finance must receive your payment by January 31, 2012, even if it is less than 30 days from the time you agree to this settlement. The fastest way to pay is online.

The New York City Department of Finance has instituted a Reduced Fine Program (Settlement Program). An offer of reduction is extended for certain violations prior to a hearing with an Administrative Law Judge. If a reduction is accepted the respondent waives their right to a hearing and appeal. Participation in this program is not mandatory.
