            Applying for a DOHMH permit does not satisfy the regulatory requirements of other City and State Agencies. It is the business owner's responsibility to apply for all other permits, licenses, and authorizations required by other City and State Agencies. Pursuant to NYC Charter Section 645, no premises may be used or occupied until a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued by the NYC Commissioner of Buildings.

            Failure to comply with all relevant regulations, including those under the jurisdiction of other Agencies, may result in the suspension of DOHMH permits until proof of compliance is provided.
