    Fire Dep't v. Kelly OATH Index No. 804/06 (June 9, 2006), modified on penalty, Comm’r Dec. (Jan. 2, 2007), appended Petitioner proved that firefighter was selected randomly and tested positive for drug use. Although respondent suffered from severe, chronic Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, he did not show that his drug use was involuntary. Penalty short of termination recommended due to extraordinary mitigation. Commissioner rejects penalty recommendation and terminates firefighter. ______________________________________________________ NEW YORK CITY OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE TRIALS AND HEARINGS In the Matter of FIRE DEPARTMENT Petitioner -against- THOMAS KELLY Respondent ____________________________________________________ REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION KEVIN F. CASEY, Administrative Law Judge The Fire Department (Department) brought this disciplinary proceeding under section 15- 113 of the Administrative Code, against firefighter Thomas Kelly. The charges allege that respondent tested positive for a controlled substance in violation of his oath of office, the Department All Units Circular 202 (Feb. 1, 1996) (AUC 202), and sections 25.1.6, 25.1.3, and 25.1.1 of the Rules and Regulations for the Uniformed Force (Jan. 1, 1997). Respondent admittedly tested positive for cocaine use (Tr. 108; Pet. Exs. 2 and 4). Although he challenged the randomness of the selection process, respondent primarily argued that his limited drug use was the result of a mental disability, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), incurred in the line of duty. The Department did not dispute that respondent suffers from severe, chronic PTSD; however, it claimed that his drug use was a voluntary act of misconduct. -2- At a hearing on February 6, 7, and 8, 2006, petitioner called three witnesses: the Department’s chief compliance officer; an investigator; and a psychiatrist.

  • Press Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 28, 2008 Contact: Laura Rivera, (212) 669-2701, [email protected] THOMPSON AND NEW YORK CITY PENSION FUNDS ANNOUNCE EFFORT TO PROTECT AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN NEW YORK CITY New York City Comptroller William C. Thompson, Jr. and the New York City Pension Funds joined with other elected officials and housing advocates today to announce a real estate investment principle to allow the City to “opt out” of any future deals that could negatively impact opportunities to create or retain affordable housing. “We must all work together to maximize protection and affordability for tenants in both existing and future investments,” Thompson said. “With today’s announcement we are strengthening our commitment to invest in affordable housing by creating an opportunity to decline investments that could negatively affect affordability.” This commitment will enable the New York City Pension Funds to respond to a problem that affordable housing and tenant advocates have identified as “predatory equity;” the practice of making speculative investments in rental housing, especially subsidized and formerly subsidized housing, that is occupied by low-income people, where the investment can only yield the anticipated returns if the low-income tenant population is replaced by a group that can afford significantly higher rents. “We must do what we can to ensure that New York City remains affordable to all. I am glad to have worked with the Comptroller's Office and housing advocates to find a solution that protects affordable housing while the New York City Pension Funds consider their members’ interests. I fully support any effort to preserve low- and moderate-income housing for tenants,” said City Council Member Letitia James.
