The program covers violations left unpaid that are now in judgment. To have a violation in judgment means the City of New York has filed a public record of liability due on a violation for the entire amount.  To find out more information and receive answers to the most frequently asked questions on “Forgiving Fines: The NYC Amnesty Program,” please click the link:http://www1.nyc.gov/site/finance/taxes/forgiving-fines-the-nyc-amnesty-program.page
