(2) the office, or any other State agency, has revoked any other approval, authorization or certificate issued to the provider;
(3) any principal of the provider of services has been convicted in a court of competent jurisdiction, either within or without the State, of a felony, or has been convicted of an act in another state that would be a felony in New York State;

(7) the provider of services has failed to operate in compliance with any applicable law, rule or regulation or any combination thereof; and/or
(8) the provider ceases to provide, or fails to commence, the services that it is authorized to provide.
(b) If an inspection of the provider of services, made pursuant to section 810.14(b) of this Part, identifies that a provider of service is not in compliance with any of the rules, regulations, policies, procedures and requirements of the office, a written notification of the deficiencies identified shall be delivered to the provider.

The provider of services' response must include a plan for the correction of the noted deficiencies or an explanation, deemed satisfactory to the office, of the reason for any deviations from the requirements of the office.
(2) If the provider of services fails to correct deficiencies or fails to provide reasonable justification for its failure to take action, the commissioner may impose sanctions on or require other corrective measures by the provider. Sanctions may include suspension, revocation, or limitation of the operating certificate, or the levying of a civil fine in accordance with the Mental Hygiene Law.
(3) The imposition of any sanction shall be effected by the delivery of a notice, clearly stating the sanction imposed and the violation(s) for which the sanction is imposed, to the provider of services.

(d) A provider of services may request an opportunity for a hearing regarding any suspension, revocation or limitation, pursuant to Part 831 of this Title. If the time period for requesting a hearing has expired, or, after the hearing has been held based on the findings of such hearing, the commissioner may impose any of the following penalties:
(1) revocation of the operating certificate;
(2) suspension of the operating certificate, during which period of suspension the provider must discontinue operation of the substance use disorder service; or
(3) limitation of the operating certificate to temporarily or permanently prohibit the provider of services from operating certain identified programs or services, reducing the number of beds, restricting the number or types of patients served or other limitation determined appropriate by the commissioner; and/or
(4) in addition to or in lieu of any suspension, revocation or other terms and conditions imposed by the commissioner, imposition of a fine of up to $1,000 for each separate incident of failure to comply with a requirement of law, regulation or condition of certification: or, up to $1,000 for each day of a continuing failure to comply with any such requirement.
