New York State Assembly Member Jo Anne Simon hosted a session on city summonses and hearings from the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings at her district office on Wednesday, March 25, according to a newsletter sent to constituents by her office that day.
The item appeared under the heading “OATH (Summons & Hearing Info) in Our Office: Wed. 3/25” in the office’s “What’s Inside” summary, which billed it among community resources for the 52nd Assembly District, covering Brooklyn neighborhoods including Boerum Hill, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Gowanus and parts of Park Slope and Downtown Brooklyn. The newsletter did not include further detail in the available text about the session’s hours, location specifics or the services offered.
OATH is New York City’s independent administrative court, where residents and businesses can contest summonses issued by city agencies and resolve hearings outside the criminal court system. Simon’s office presented the session as one of several constituent-services and policy items in the same update, which also flagged a meeting on a BMT port proposal the same day, Gowanus and Atlantic Yards developments, tax-season resources and state budget priorities ahead of the April 1 deadline.
The newsletter was distributed by Simon’s office, which can be reached for additional information on constituent services. The session described in the update took place on a single day and has concluded.
