Michael Tiger, General Counsel for DCWP, explains the process of issuing summonses and following up on inspection results. He emphasizes that this is an ongoing process with multiple steps.
- DCWP issues summonses that must be adjudicated at OATH (Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings)
- The agency doesn't directly issue penalties; they go through an adjudication system
- DCWP will reassess and reallocate resources based on the results of the adjudications
- The agency will continue to monitor which businesses are out of compliance or generating complaints

And just to piggyback off on that, Jerry, exactly what the commissioner was saying, this is not a one and done thing.
1:11:53
We need to look at like what are gonna be the results of these adjudications.
1:11:57
So just to refresh everyone's memory, we issue summonses.
1:12:00
They then have to be adjudicated at So we don't actually get to issue the penalties directly.
1:12:05
So it has to go through the system of adjudication.
1:12:08
And so I think once we see what the results of that are, what summonses get upheld, which businesses were out of business but we still are getting complaints about.
1:12:18
We'll reassess as 2025 goes on.
1:12:21
And we will reallocate resources again as we look at the results of this first wave.
