Legal Question in Administrative Law in New York

NY Warrant

I had a court date scheduled for this past Friday in prct10/Manhattan for an administrative code violation 10-133c (although ticket lists it as 10-333c, and I can't find that subsection?). My Grandmother died that morning and I got tied up with that. I called the court offices repeatedly all day and could not reach an appropriate person until 3pm. At that point I was informed that the judge was already gone and that a warrant (bench, I assume) had been issued. I was also told that I could come in on Monday to get the warrant vacated.

Now, is that something I can handle directly or might I run into problems (read: arrest and/or bail) if I show up at 9am on Monday? Does anyone know what the typical procedure is or whom I should talk to right away (PD or prosecuter)?

I have no record, not even parking or traffic tickets. Hell, I've never even been arrested. Should I be sweating this or should it be straight forward?

Re: NY Warrant

I would get an attorney to go with you. If you can't do that, just go there with the name of a bailbonds man in case you need it. Try to talk to the PD first if you qualify, if not, talk to the prosecutor.
