Business Outreach Team
If you find yourself in "red tape," NYC Business Solutions can help expedite your communication with other city agencies, get you accurate information, and further your understanding of compliance issues to prevent future fines. Our Business Solutions staff can assist your business with issues involving a number of other governmental departments, including:

• Department of Buildings
• Department of Consumer Affairs
• Department of Finance
• Department of Health and Mental Hygiene
• Department of Sanitation
• Department of Transportation

For help with regulatory issues, contact us either via email or by calling 311 and asking for "the NYC Business Solutions Center in your borough".  Or, you can stop by a Business Solutions Center, where a counselor will be happy to work with you in person.  If needed, our Business Outreach Team will even come see you in your place of business.
