Q&A

Abreu asks about default vs adjudicated judgments and repeat participation

New York City Council · Aug 11, 2026 · starts 0:28:03 · 38 sec

Abreu asks how many resolved judgments were defaults versus adjudicated and whether DOF tracks repeat participation. Deputy Commissioner Hill reports 75% were from default and 25% adjudicated. Lee says DOF has not tracked repeat participation but is willing to look into it.

Shaun Abreu

Of the judgments resolved through the program, how many were default judgments and how many were adjudicated judgments?

Richard Lee

Default judgment, Deputy Commissioner, how do you have that?

Annette Hill

There was 75% were from default and 25% were adjudicated.

Shaun Abreu

Does DOF track repeat participation in ECB amnesty programs?

Richard Lee

Oh, did you ask if there was...

Shaun Abreu

Repeat participation.

Richard Lee

Repeat participation.

Richard Lee

We have not tracked that, but we're happy to maybe go back and look at it.

Shaun Abreu

Yeah, that would be very helpful.

Shaun Abreu

Okay.
