N.Y. Public Health Law § 3223: Enforcement

§ 3223. Enforcement. 1. The commissioner may conduct scheduled or

unscheduled inspections of facilities where certified activities are

being conducted.

2. The commissioner may suspend a certificate on the ground that the

holder unreasonably refused to admit a department inspector to the

premises where a recombinant DNA activity was taking place, or for any

other violation of a regulation promulgated pursuant to this article.

The commissioner shall hold a hearing within fifteen days following any

such suspension to determine whether the suspension was reasonable. The

commissioner may then annul the suspension, or if he finds the

suspension to have been reasonable he may revoke the certificate or

continue its suspension for a period not to exceed three months.
