Compliance Consultations
The NYC BEST team will come to your business or meet with you virtually and provide a customized checklist.
We will not issue violations or fines - we are here to help you understand the rules. The consultation cannot discuss all rules and regulations and cannot exempt your business from the inspection and enforcement processes of City, state, or federal agencies.
