About each permit
Business Registration
The Department of Finance's New Business Registration page states that every person having an office, factory, workshop, branch, warehouse or other place of business, including banks, schools, hospitals, non-profit and trade associations, who performs work or renders services in the City must register with the Treasurer within fifteen days. Registration is by emailed form or walk-in at the Treasurer's Office, and the page states that a business is not registered until it receives a verification letter from the Department of Finance. This registration, plus a valid Certificate of Occupancy for the space, is what almost every ordinary business needs at City level.
