Title of bill
An act to authorize Congregation Ginze Yosef to file an application for exemption from water and sewer charges for certain assessment rolls
Purpose
The purpose of this bill is to authorize Congregation Ginze Yosef, in the borough of Brooklyn of the City of New York, to file a retroactive application for an exemption from water and sewer charges for certain fiscal years.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 authorizes the NYC Department of Environmental Protection to accept an application for exemption from water and sewer charges for fiscal years 2009 - 2014 for the not-for-profit corporation Congregation Ginze Yosef. This section further states that the NYC Department of Environmental Protection shall review the application as if it had been received on or before the exemption application deadline established for these fiscal years. If satisfied that Congregation Ginze Yosef would otherwise have been entitled to said exemption, the Commissioner of the NYC Department of Environmental Protection, upon approval by the City Council of New York City, may grant exemption from all water and sewer charges, taxes, fines, penalties and remaining unpaid interest, and make appropriate corrections to the subject water and sewer bills.
Section 2 is the enacting clause

However, due to administrative oversight, it failed to timely apply for exemption from the payment of water and sewer charges in connection with the property. The intention of this bill to undo the hardships that will be suffered if the organization is required to pay the charges, interest and penalties due in the sum of approximately $8,100.
