NYC Admin. Code § 25-409
in effect§ 25-409 Publication; filing; judicial review.
(a) The city clerk shall cause a certified copy of the local law adopted pursuant to the provisions of this chapter establishing or extending any district, or increasing the maximum total amount proposed to be expended for the improvement in any district or extension, or changing the method of assessment, or authorizing the district to incur debt to provide for additional improvements or services within the district, to be duly recorded in the city clerk's office within ten days after such local law becomes effective. When so recorded this local law shall be presumptive evidence of the regularity of the proceedings for the establishment or extension of the district, of the proceedings instituted for the construction of any improvement and of all other actions taken in relation to it.
(b) Within ten days after the local law becomes effective, the city clerk shall, in addition to any other filing required by law, cause a certified copy thereof to be filed in the office of the state comptroller at Albany, New York, and within two weeks thereafter shall cause a copy of the local law or a summary thereof to be published at least once in the City Record or a newspaper of general circulation in the city.
(c) This local law shall be final and conclusive unless a proceeding to review is commenced in accordance with this subdivision. Any person aggrieved by any local law adopted pursuant to this chapter may seek judicial review of the local law in the manner provided by article seventy-eight of the civil practice law and rules, provided the proceeding is commenced within thirty days from the date of the publication of the copy or summary of the local law pursuant to subdivision (b) of this section. No review shall be had unless the petitioner shall give an undertaking approved by the supreme court, or a justice thereof, as to form, amount and sufficiency of sureties, that, in the event of failure to modify the local law, he or she will pay to the city all costs and expenses as are incurred by it on account of the proceedings, as shall be determined by the court. In the event that upon this review there shall be any modification by the court of the local law, the court shall direct the modification by judgment which shall be final and conclusive, and the city clerk shall cause the judgment to be recorded and filed in the same places and manner as was the local law which was modified.
