Having a problem with a business? DCA can help.
In addition to the businesses we license, DCA regulates many other industries under the Consumer Protection Law. Each year, DCA receives thousands of consumer complaints … and secures millions of dollars to give back to consumers. We work to resolve conflicts through mediation. If mediation doesn’t work, an administrative judge can hear the case or, when necessary, DCA will pursue litigation in State Court.
NOTE:
DCA may not be the proper agency to handle your complaint. Please review the Referral List before you file a complaint with DCA. DCA cannot mediate complaints against home improvement contractors working for the NYC Rapid Repairs program. Please contact 311 to report complaints about the program. |
