What Is OATH?

Understanding NYC's Administrative Court

OATH is NYC's central tribunal for agency-issued summonses. If a building or business receives a violation from DOB, DOHMH, FDNY, or other agencies, the respondent can contest it at OATH.

🏛️

Independent Tribunal

OATH operates independently from the agencies that issue summonses, providing neutral adjudication of city violations and fines.

⚖️

Hearing Outcomes

Cases at OATH can result in fines being upheld, dismissed, reduced, or settled. NYC Intel shows the final disposition for each case.

🏢

Multiple Agencies

DOB, DOHMH, DSNY, FDNY, DEP, and many other NYC agencies all send summonses to OATH for adjudication when respondents contest violations.

💵

Civil Penalties

OATH cases involve civil penalties ranging from hundreds to hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on the violation type and severity.
