Violation Hearing
At Town of Islip Expeditors We urge you to take your Violations seriously. If you have received a Violation telling you to come to a hearing and you or your representative don’t show up to the hearing, you will be in a Violation default status. If that happens, you will get an order that states that since you didn’t show up, you must now pay DOUBLE the amount for your fine.
In this situation, you can ask for another hearing. To do this you have to fill out the proper form that you can get from the Violation website or in person at their offices. You have to do this within 45 days from the date you missed the Violation hearing.
At the new hearing, you will have to explain why you didn’t show up the first time. If you get a Violation default order and don’t ask for another hearing, then you have to pay the fines. Therefore, this is not a good practice and you must answer the default order. Even if it is more than 45 days after the original hearing date, it is sometimes possible to get a new hearing and avoid a late penalty, but you don’t know until you try.
