A New York City Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH) is required to determine that there are no Health Code or New York City Administrative Code violations issued to the applicant and for which outstanding fines are due. If the applicant is a corporation, partnership, or limited liability company (LLC), the clearance must reflect the corporate, partnership or LLC name. Payment of any outstanding fines must be made prior to submission of a permit application. Payment of fines can be made only by visiting OATH, located at 66 John Street, 10th floor, New York, New York 10038.
