Which tickets Brooklyn South TVB hears
On its TVB page the DMV says its Traffic Violations Bureau "processes tickets for non-criminal moving traffic violations issued in the five boroughs of New York City", which is the work Brooklyn South TVB does.
The same page says TVB "does not handle tickets returnable to local courts", and the types it names as outside that work, parking, red light camera, speed camera, and misdemeanor or felony offenses such as DWI, are not heard at Brooklyn South TVB either, because the DMV sends all of those to the local court directly.
Which room hears your case is not a choice you make: the DMV says "Your hearing will take place in a TVB office in the jurisdiction where the ticket was issued", which is why Brooklyn South TVB takes tickets written in Brooklyn and no others.
How a hearing at Brooklyn South TVB works
Nothing is listed at Brooklyn South TVB until you ask for it: the DMV says "If you wish to plead 'not guilty', you will need to schedule a hearing", and that a hearing can be scheduled or rescheduled online, by mail or over the telephone.
Once a hearing at Brooklyn South TVB is scheduled you may "attend the hearing in person, virtually, or ... submit a Statement In Place of Personal Appearance", and with a statement the DMV says "the judge will hold the hearing and you will be notified of the decision by email", so the trip to 2875 West 8th St is not compulsory.
Your case at Brooklyn South TVB is decided by a DMV administrative law judge rather than by a court, on a standard the DMV sets out plainly: "You cannot be found guilty unless there is 'clear and convincing evidence' that you committed the violation", and "When all the evidence and testimony have been given, the Judge will decide whether you are guilty."
A guilty plea is final, at Brooklyn South TVB as anywhere else: the DMV says "If you plead guilty, you cannot change your plea", and that you "cannot plead guilty online if the conviction will result in the suspension or revocation of your driving privilege", in which case "You must appear or submit a Statement in Place of Personal Appearance".
If you do not answer a ticket heard at Brooklyn South TVB
Ignoring the ticket is the expensive road, and it costs the same whether or not you ever go near Brooklyn South TVB: the DMV says "If you do not answer a traffic ticket on time, your driver license will be suspended".
Miss a hearing booked at Brooklyn South TVB without having sent a statement and the DMV lists three consequences, that the driving privilege is suspended, that further fines may fall due, and that you may be convicted by default, with the warning that if you keep ignoring it "you will automatically be convicted of the charge".
What a conviction out of Brooklyn South TVB then does to the license itself, in points and in the driver responsibility assessment, is set out in the New York points guide, and getting a suspended license back is covered in the reinstatement guide.
