RCNY § 14-05

(a)If during and at the conclusion of the street event the local sanitation district officer determines that the sponsor has cleaned the street event area in an acceptable manner and has removed all bagged and/or bundled refuse and recyclable materials from such area, the Department shall return to the sponsor his or her full deposit no later than eight weeks following the conclusion of the street event.

(b)If at any time during or at the conclusion of the street event the Department provided the cleaning and/or collection and proper disposal of refuse and recyclable materials to the street event area because the sponsor failed to perform same, or if the sponsor had retained the Department to provide the cleaning and/or collection and proper disposal of refuse and recyclable materials during and at the conclusion of the street event, the Department shall deduct the costs of its services from the sponsor's deposit and will return any outstanding balance to the sponsor. In the event the Department's total costs exceed the deposit payment, the sponsor shall remit the balance due within seven (7) days of billing by the Department. The Department shall promptly report to the Street Activity Permit Office of the Mayor's Community Assistance Unit the name of any sponsor, and his or her organization, who has failed to reimburse the Department. Failure to reimburse the Department will result in the denial by the Department of any application for a street permit in the future.
