Paying Online
Businesses can make fine payments online at NYCServ, New York City’s "e-Payment" Center. Businesses may pay by either debit or credit card or electronic check. CONVENIENCE FEES APPLY.

• Debit/Credit Card Payment Fees:  There is a graduated fee for debit or credit card payments based on the amount of the transaction (as per Official Payments Corp. guidelines). View Fee Schedule 
• Electronic Check (E-Check) Fees: A $2.00 convenience fee is added to the total transaction when paying with an electronic check. A valid U.S. bank account and bank routing number are required. Payments are credited immediately, and the charge is debited within two business days.

In addition, the DCA Licensing Center at 42 Broadway, 5th floor, now provides online access to NYCServ

Paying In Person
Businesses can bring payments by check or money order in person to the DCA Collections office, located at 42 Broadway, 9th floor, in downtown Manhattan between Exchange Place and Beaver Street. Collections is open between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday.

At a hearing an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) will hear testimony and take evidence from the consumer or from DCA’s representative, and from you and your witnesses. The purpose of the hearing is to give business owners an opportunity to appear before a fair and impartial ALJ and present a defense to the charge(s) in the Notice of Hearing.

If found guilty, the charged business faces penalties. If there is a pattern of violations in the business’s history, it could mean license suspension, revocation, or padlocking the business.
