Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to requiring review of all motor vehicle repair shop applicants which includes community input

AI Summary

This bill requires motor vehicle repair shops in New York City to undergo a more comprehensive review process for transferring or renewing their certificates of registration, with significant community input. Specifically, the bill mandates that repair shop applicants notify the local community board at least 45 days before filing for a transfer or renewal, using a standardized form that includes detailed information about the business and its ownership. The commissioner will now be required to consider multiple factors when evaluating applications, including the shop's history of violations, parking-related issues, community board complaints, and the shop's potential impact on local traffic and parking. The bill also expands grounds for potentially denying or revoking a repair shop's registration, such as multiple parking violations or unresolved code violations. Additionally, the legislation requires repair shops to provide comprehensive notification to community boards, including business details, contact information, and a request for the board's opinion on the application. The bill aims to increase transparency, community involvement, and accountability in the motor vehicle repair shop licensing process in New York City, with the new requirements taking effect 120 days after becoming law.
