Judge Zayas provides county-by-county discovery compliance data

New York City Council · Jun 25, 2026 · starts 0:29:30 · 1 min 32 sec

Zayas shares certificate of compliance timing data: Bronx 130 days average, Kings 74 days, New York 145 days, Queens 60 days, Richmond 46 days, noting these exclude complex homicide cases.

Judge Joseph A. Zayas

Oh, I think I do have it here.

Judge Joseph A. Zayas

So these are days that it takes them to file the certificate of compliance.

Judge Joseph A. Zayas

And so in the Bronx, the average day is 130 days, 112 median days.

Judge Joseph A. Zayas

In Kings County, it's 74 days.

Judge Joseph A. Zayas

average days, 56 median days.

Judge Joseph A. Zayas

New York County, it's 145 days and 105 median days.

Judge Joseph A. Zayas

In Queens, which is where I was the administrative judge and chair, I know you're from Queens too,

Judge Joseph A. Zayas

In terms of that, they are probably doing the best.

Judge Joseph A. Zayas

It's average 60 days and 44 median days.

Selvena N. Brooks-Powers

But nothing different.

Judge Joseph A. Zayas

What's that?

Selvena N. Brooks-Powers

I expect nothing different at the best from Queens.

Judge Joseph A. Zayas

And then in Richmond, it's 46 average days and 28 median days.

Judge Joseph A. Zayas

So, and, you know, that doesn't include the really more complex cases such as homicides of that nature.

Judge Joseph A. Zayas

So these are just your other serious felonies, but not homicides.

Selvena N. Brooks-Powers

Thank you for that, Judge.
