§ 17-03 Method of Submission.
RCNY § 17-03
1.Each report shall be electronically submitted by a booking service through a secure portal accessible from the administering agency's website. No later than 15 business days after Local Law 64 for the year of 2020 takes effect on January 3, 2021, the administering agency will publish on its website additional guidance on the electronic submission process.
2.The portal may require a booking service to submit contact information, including an email address, to be used by the administering agency for communications related to booking service submissions.
3.A booking service may apply for an exception to electronic submission, indicating specifically a proposed alternate secure method of submission and the reporting period(s) for which it seeks the exception. Such exception shall be granted only in the following circumstances, and at the sole discretion of the administering agency: a. the booking service has fewer than 20 hosts; b. the booking service had fewer than 100 short-term rental transactions during the reporting period; or c. the booking service is prevented from using the prescribed submission method based on a technical disruption that is beyond its control or another such unusual circumstance that exists.
4.The report shall be submitted in an electronic format prescribed and published on the administering agency's website no later than the close of the initial reporting period. Reports not in compliance with the required formatting will be rejected and deemed missing, except for those booking services that were granted an exception pursuant to this section. The administering agency will provide at least 90 days' notice before any changes to the formatting requirements take effect. The 90-day notice will be published on the administering agency's website and sent to all booking services who have submitted at least one report previously, via the contact information provided by the booking service.
