§ 22-04 Fees.
RCNY § 22-04
1.Each booking service shall register with the administering agency to use the electronic verification system. Such registration shall require the name of the booking service, an email that the booking service agrees to receive correspondence with, the name of a contact person, and the phone number for the contact person. The booking service shall provide the number of listings that it reasonably believes it will verify the registration status of using the electronic verification system per calendar year.
2.The booking service shall pay an initial fee to use the electronic verification system equivalent to $2.40 per listing that it provides during registration, and such fee shall be required to be paid to complete the registration.
3.The administering agency shall charge $2.40 for each listing the booking service submits for verification in a calendar year, except that there shall be no fee when a listing was verified as having an address that matches an address on the list of Class B multiple dwellings. Reverification of a listing in compliance with 43 RCNY § 22-02(5) shall not result in an additional charge. The administering agency shall conduct a quarterly reconciliation of each booking service's use of the electronic verification system. The administering agency shall provide a statement to the booking service indicating the number of listings verified, the number that had not been previously verified in the calendar year, the number that were on the list of Class B multiple dwellings, and the total charges in the quarter. The booking services shall not be liable for fees equal to the initial registration fee, and the administering agency shall reflect on the statement a credit equivalent to such fee.
4.Once a booking service is provided a statement showing that it owes money, it shall pay the balance within 30 days. Failure to pay the balance within 30 days will result in a suspension of the booking service's registration to use the electronic verification system. (Added City Record 2/3/2023, eff. 3/5/2023)
