Article 8 - Public Work
224-B - Stop-Work Orders.

* § 224-b. Stop-work orders. Where a complaint is received pursuant to
  this  article,  or  where  the  fiscal  officer  upon  his  or  her  own
  investigation, finds cause to believe that  any  person,  in  connection
  with the performance of any contract for public work pursuant to section
  two  hundred  twenty  of this article or any covered project pursuant to
  section two hundred twenty-four-a of this article, has substantially and
  materially failed to comply with or intentionally evaded the  provisions
  of this article, the fiscal officer may notify such person in writing of
  his  or  her intention to issue a stop-work order. Such notice shall (i)
  be served in a manner consistent with section three hundred eight of the
  civil practice law and rules; (ii) notify such  person  of  his  or  her
  right  to  a  hearing;  and (iii) state the factual basis upon which the
  fiscal officer has based his or her decision to issue a stop-work order.
  Any documents, reports, or  information  that  form  a  basis  for  such
  decision  shall  be  provided  to  such  person within a reasonable time
  before the hearing. Such hearing shall be expeditiously conducted.
Following the hearing, if the fiscal officer issues a stop-work order,
  it shall be served by regular mail, and a second copy may be  served  by
  telefacsimile or by electronic mail, with service effective upon receipt
  of any such order. Such stop-work order shall also be served with regard
  to  a worksite by posting a copy of such order in a conspicuous location
  at the worksite. The order shall  remain  in  effect  until  the  fiscal
  officer  directs  that  the  stop-work  order  be  removed, upon a final
  determination on the complaint or where such failure to comply or  evade
  has  been  deemed  corrected.  If  the person against whom such order is
  issued shall within thirty days after issuance of  the  stop-work  order
  makes  an  application in affidavit form for a redetermination review of
  such order the fiscal officer shall make a decision in  writing  on  the
  issues  raised  in  such  application.  The  fiscal officer may direct a
  conditional release from a stop-work order  upon  a  finding  that  such
  person  has  taken  meaningful  and  good faith steps to comply with the
  provisions of this article.
