§ 26-06 — Procedure for Requesting a Place on Waiting Lists

§ 26-06 Procedure for Requesting a Place on Waiting Lists.

(a) The Division of Permits shall use a mail-in procedure for establishing all waiting lists. Such procedure shall allow persons requesting placement on one or more of the five waiting lists established pursuant to this Chapter to submit a Department-issued waiting list application form, which shall contain their license number, their preference category, if applicable, and their choice(s) of borough specific fresh fruits and vegetables permit(s) they seek, by mail postmarked during a period of time to be determined by the Department, as specified in the Notice published pursuant to 24 RCNY § 26-05. (b) The Notice shall advise those persons requesting placement on one or more of these five borough specific waiting list(s) to rank the waiting list(s) they select by order of borough choice. Applicants shall be directed to apply only for waiting list(s) for boroughs in which they would be willing to vend should they obtain such borough specific permit. (c) Persons in the first preference category, as provided in § 17-307(b)(4)(e), shall not lose their position on any pre-existing waiting list as a result of their submission of an application for a fresh fruits and vegetables permit waiting list position or any resulting placement on any such list. A person on any existing waiting list who is issued a fresh fruits and vegetables permit also need not relinquish his or her place on any previously existing waiting list. Pursuant to § 17-307(b)(4)(b), however, a person shall be issued no more than one permit, whether full-term citywide, borough-specific full-term, temporary citywide or exclusively fresh fruits and vegetables.
