The Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH) is an independent agency that conducts administrative hearings for other City agencies, boards or commissions. Our mission is to provide fair and timely hearings. OATH oversees the operations of four tribunals: the OATH Tribunal, the Environmental Control Board, the Health Tribunal, and the Taxi & Limousine Tribunal. It also offers training services through the Administrative Judicial Training Institute.

As an Access to Justice initiative, OATH has partnered with Columbia Law School  to create a user-friendly website that explains how to proceed if your car is taken by the NYPD during an arrest.  The site is meant to help people who decide to represent themselves understand the procedures for requesting the return of their car.

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg has signed an Executive Order consolidating the Administrative Tribunals of the Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) with the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH).
