Running a commuter van service without TLC authorization

"504.2A" is NYC Administrative Code §19-504.2(a). No one may run a commuter van service inside NYC (or pick up and drop off passengers inside the city) without first getting authorization from the TLC. It targets unauthorized "dollar van" operations. The single charge is dated January 2010.

Operating a taxi or for-hire vehicle without a TLC vehicle license

"504A" is NYC Administrative Code §19-504(a). A taxi, for-hire vehicle, commuter van or wheelchair van may operate in NYC only if its owner first gets a TLC vehicle license, and only while that license is in effect. It also says only licensed taxis may accept street hails. The 44 charges (2000–2009) were mostly given to individual people.

Code 504B: City vehicle-licensing law or a pre-1992 TLC code

"504B" could be NYC Administrative Code §19-504(b), part of the City law on licensing taxis and for-hire vehicles, or a code from the TLC's own numbering used before mid-1992. The single charge is dated January 1992, when both were in use, so we can't say which was meant.

Code 505: City driver-licensing law or a pre-1992 TLC code

"505" may be NYC Administrative Code §19-505, the City law on TLC driver licenses (who needs one and the basic requirements), or a code from the TLC's numbering used before mid-1992. The three charges are from 1992 and were given to individual people, which fits a driver charge, but the exact rule can't be confirmed.

Possibly NYC Admin. Code §19-505NYC Administrative Code Title 19, Chapter 5 (readable mirror; official text: American Legal Publishing)

Driving a vehicle for hire without the right TLC driver license

"505A" is NYC Administrative Code §19-505(a). No one may drive a TLC-regulated vehicle for hire without first getting the matching TLC driver license: taxi, for-hire vehicle, wheelchair van, coach or commuter van. A license for one type does not cover another. The 27 charges are from 1996 to 2009, mostly against individual drivers.

NYC Admin. Code §19-505(a)NYC Administrative Code Title 19, Chapter 5 (readable mirror; official text: American Legal Publishing)

Driving a taxi without a TLC taxicab driver license

"505AI" is NYC Administrative Code §19-505(a)(i): no one may drive a taxicab (yellow cab) for hire without a TLC taxicab driver's license. Holding a different TLC license, such as a for-hire vehicle license, does not allow driving a taxi. The single charge is dated August 2010.

NYC Admin. Code §19-505(a)(i)NYC Administrative Code Title 19, Chapter 5 (readable mirror; official text: American Legal Publishing)

Code 505B: City driver-licensing law or a pre-1992 TLC code

"505B" could be NYC Administrative Code §19-505(b), the basic requirements for a TLC driver license (such as holding a New York chauffeur's license), or a code from the TLC's own numbering used before mid-1992. The single charge is dated February 1992, so either reading is possible.

Possibly NYC Admin. Code §19-505(b)NYC Administrative Code Title 19, Chapter 5 (readable mirror; official text: American Legal Publishing)

TLC driver without a New York chauffeur's license — another spelling of §19-505(B)(1) (TLC driver without a New York chauffeur's license).

Pre-1992 TLC rule, mostly charged to vehicle owners (text not online)

This four-digit code comes from the TLC's numbering used before mid-1992 (48 charges in OATH's data, violation dates Jan 2, 1992 to Jun 24, 1992). The text of that rule is not available online, so we can't say exactly what it covered. Most respondents were companies (many with "taxi", "cab" or "hacking" in their names), so it was most likely a rule for vehicle owners, not drivers. The number also matches NYC Administrative Code §19-506 (unlicensed for-hire activity), which is one possible reading, but it is not confirmed. The written description on your summons is the best guide.

Taxi, livery or van signs or ads without the right TLC license — another spelling of §19-506(C)(1) (Taxi, livery or van signs or ads without the right TLC license).

Driving a TLC-licensed vehicle for hire without a TLC driver license — another spelling of §506D (Driving a TLC-licensed vehicle for hire without a TLC driver license).

TLC's power to fine, suspend or revoke a license for breaking its rules

"506A" points to NYC Administrative Code §19-506(a). That part of the law is not a specific offense: it gives the TLC the power to fine, suspend or revoke any TLC license when the holder breaks the City's TLC law or a TLC rule, after a hearing. When it appears as a charge (a few cases, 2013–2014), it is usually paired with the specific rule that was broken.

NYC Admin. Code §19-506(a)NYC Administrative Code Title 19, Chapter 5 (readable mirror; official text: American Legal Publishing)

Operating a vehicle for hire without the right TLC license (City law)

"506B" is shorthand for NYC Administrative Code §19-506(b). It makes it a violation to drive, offer to drive, or let someone else drive a car for hire in NYC without a TLC vehicle license, or (in later versions of the law) to use a licensed vehicle for work its license does not allow. It applies to the owner and to the driver. The vehicle can be seized, and repeat findings can lead to forfeiture. This shorthand was used on summonses from 1992 to about 2015.

NYC Admin. Code §19-506(b)NYC Administrative Code Title 19, Chapter 5 (readable mirror; official text: American Legal Publishing)

Operating a vehicle for hire without a TLC vehicle license — another spelling of §19-506(B)(1) (Operating a vehicle for hire without a TLC vehicle license).

Unlicensed for-hire vehicle and illegal taxi or livery markings, cited together

This code cites two parts of NYC Administrative Code §19-506 at once: subdivision (b), operating a vehicle for hire without a TLC vehicle license, and subdivision (c), using taxi, livery or similar markings, or advertising such a service, without TLC licenses. Officers wrote it this way when an unlicensed car was also marked or held out as a car service. All cases in OATH's data are from April to June 1992.

NYC Admin. Code §19-506(b) and (c)NYC Administrative Code Title 19, Chapter 5 (readable mirror; official text: American Legal Publishing)

Operating a vehicle for hire without a TLC vehicle license — another spelling of §19-506(B)(1) (Operating a vehicle for hire without a TLC vehicle license).

Probably the City unlicensed-vehicle law (written with a stray digit)

"506B7" is not a real subdivision: §19-506(b) of the NYC Administrative Code has never had a paragraph 7. It is most likely "506B" (operating a vehicle for hire without a TLC vehicle license) with an extra character. The single charge is dated April 1992. This is a best reading, not confirmed.

Most likely NYC Admin. Code §19-506(b)NYC Administrative Code Title 19, Chapter 5 (readable mirror; official text: American Legal Publishing)

Unlicensed for-hire vehicle and illegal taxi or livery markings, cited together — another spelling of §506B/C (Unlicensed for-hire vehicle and illegal taxi or livery markings, cited together).

Operating a vehicle for hire without the right TLC license (City law) — another spelling of §506B (Operating a vehicle for hire without the right TLC license (City law)).

Taxi or livery signs, or advertising a car service, without TLC licenses

"506C" is shorthand for NYC Administrative Code §19-506(c). It bars driving a vehicle marked "taxi", "cab", "livery", "limousine", "van service" or similar unless the vehicle and driver hold the right TLC licenses. It also bars advertising or presenting yourself as a taxi, livery, limousine or van service without a license for each vehicle used. It is often written together with 506B for unlicensed car-service stops. Vehicles can be seized.

Driving a TLC-licensed vehicle for hire without a TLC driver license

"506D" is shorthand for NYC Administrative Code §19-506(d). It is a violation for anyone to drive a TLC-licensed vehicle for hire in NYC without a TLC driver license and a valid New York State driver license (neither suspended nor revoked). Commuter vans are covered by other sections. It is usually given to the person behind the wheel, often alongside an owner charge. This shorthand was used from 1992 to about 2016.

Civil penalty clause for unlicensed for-hire activity (City law)

"506E" points to NYC Administrative Code §19-506(e). That subdivision sets the civil penalties the TLC tribunal can impose for unlicensed vehicles, unlicensed drivers, and illegal taxi or livery markings (subdivisions b, c and d). It is a penalty clause rather than an offense of its own; the one charge in OATH's data is from June 1992.

Advertising a taxi or car service without TLC licenses (penalty clause)

"506F" points to NYC Administrative Code §19-506(f). It lets the TLC fine a person who is not licensed by the TLC for print or broadcast ads offering taxi, livery, limousine or similar service, with a separate penalty for each broadcast or each issue of a publication. The 11 charges in OATH's data are from 1992 to 1996.

Unclear City-law code (19-506 has no subdivision n)

"506N" looks like NYC Administrative Code §19-506, the law on unlicensed for-hire vehicles and TLC enforcement, but that section has no subdivision (n). It may be a typo for a nearby letter such as (b) or (d). The single charge is dated February 1992. We can't tell which part was meant.

Taxi driver asking a passenger's destination before they are seated

"507A1" is NYC Administrative Code §19-507(a)(1). A taxi driver may not try to find out where a passenger is going, without a good reason, before the passenger is seated in the cab. It is one of the City's "mandatory penalty" offenses, so the law sets a minimum fine and possible suspension, rising for repeat offenses. The single charge is dated March 2010.

For-hire vehicle picking up passengers without a prearranged trip — another spelling of §19-507(A)(4) (For-hire vehicle picking up passengers without a prearranged trip).

Mandatory penalty clause for taxi and FHV driver offenses

"507B" points to NYC Administrative Code §19-507(b), which sets the mandatory fines, suspensions and revocations for drivers found guilty of the offenses in §19-507(a): asking a destination first, refusing a destination, overcharging, and FHV street pickups. It is a penalty clause, not an offense by itself. The single charge is dated February 1992, so an older TLC code is also possible.

Pre-1992 TLC rule (text not online)

This four-digit code comes from the TLC's numbering used before mid-1992 (5 charges in OATH's data, violation dates Jan 7, 1992 to May 6, 1992). The text of that rule is not available online, so we can't say exactly what it covered. There are too few cases to tell whether it applied to drivers or to vehicle owners. The number also matches NYC Administrative Code §19-508 (meters, radios and other equipment), which is one possible reading, but it is not confirmed. The written description on your summons is the best guide.

Code 509: taximeter business law or a pre-1992 TLC code

"509" may be NYC Administrative Code §19-509, which requires a TLC license to make, sell, repair or calibrate taximeters, or a code from the TLC's own numbering used before mid-1992. The two charges are from February 1992, when both were in use, so we can't confirm which was meant.

This four-digit code comes from the TLC's numbering used before mid-1992 (1 charge in OATH's data, violation date Jan 23, 1992).

This four-digit code comes from the TLC's numbering used before mid-1992 (3 charges in OATH's data, violation dates Apr 20, 1992 to May 13, 1992). The text of that rule is not available online, so we can't say exactly what it covered. There are too few cases to tell whether it applied to drivers or to vehicle owners. The number also matches NYC Administrative Code §19-511 (base station and dispatch licenses), which is one possible reading, but it is not confirmed. The written description on your summons is the best guide.

Base station or dispatch system without a TLC license (likely City law)

"511" most likely means NYC Administrative Code §19-511, which requires a TLC license to run a for-hire base station or a two-way radio dispatch system for licensed vehicles, and requires bases to provide off-street parking. Nearly all respondents were car services and limousine companies, and dates run 1992–1997, which fits. A pre-1992 TLC code can't be fully ruled out.

For-hire vehicle picking up passengers without a prearranged trip

"516A" is NYC Administrative Code §19-516(a). For-hire vehicles (car services, black cars, limousines) may pick up passengers only by phone booking or other prearrangement, not by street hail; the green-cab hail license is the later exception. The TLC can discipline drivers who break this. The 12 charges are from 1996 to 2011.

Driver honking the horn except to warn of danger

"519E" is NYC Administrative Code §19-519(e). A driver of a TLC-licensed vehicle may use the horn only as a warning of immediate danger, not to hurry traffic or call passengers. The law also lets the TLC hear noise complaints against licensed drivers. The charges in OATH's data are from early 2011.

The text of that rule is not available online, so we can't say exactly what it covered. There are too few cases to tell whether it applied to drivers or to vehicle owners. The number also matches NYC Administrative Code §19-528 (running a TLC business without a license), which is one possible reading, but it is not confirmed. The written description on your summons is the best guide.

Running a TLC-licensed business without the license (likely City law)

"528" most likely refers to NYC Administrative Code §19-528, the City law that bars running a business that needs a TLC license (such as a car-service base) without one, and lets the TLC fine per day and seal the premises. The single charge is dated January 1992, when the TLC's older numbering was also in use, so a pre-1992 TLC code can't be ruled out. This is a best reading.
