Court Dispute Referral Centers. The Court Dispute Referral Centers are part of the Criminal Court of the City of New York. Staff at the Referral Centers assist members of the general public who wish to make a complaint against another person (or persons) by evaluating the complaint and providing options and information for resolving the dispute. 

Disputes brought to the Court Dispute Referral Centers may be between neighbors, acquaintances, family members, landlords and tenants, or consumers and merchants. The disputes may involve harassment, assault, violence, property damage, trespass or larceny. Many of these cases, after review, are referred to Community Dispute Resolution Centers for mediation services.  Some disputes are referred to other courts or social service agencies. Domestic violence and abuse cases are referred to the District Attorney's office for prosecution when appropriate.

There is a Court Dispute Referral Center in each borough of New York City.
