A civil penalty in the amount of $6,500 is imposed on a former New York City employee by the New York City Conflicts of Interest Board

The New York City Conflicts of Interest Board adopted New York City Office of  Administrative Trials and Hearings Administrative Law Judge [ALJ]  Seon Jeong Lee’s recommendation to impose a $6,500 civil penalty on a former project manager [Respondent] who operated a private ticket-selling business while employed by a New York City agency.

The ALJ found the agency established that Respondent, a project manager at this City agency, violated Section 2604(b)(2) of the New York City Charter by storing files related to his private business in his employer's computer and using his agency e-mail account for that business.
