§ 6-22 Supervisory License and Associated Permit.

RCNY § 6-22

(a)Initial establishment of supervisory license waiting lists for supervisory licenses designated for citywide use and for use in boroughs outside of Manhattan.

(1)Establishment of waiting lists. The Department will establish two waiting lists – one for supervisory licenses designated for citywide use and one for supervisory licenses designated for use in boroughs outside of Manhattan – of persons eligible to receive supervisory license applications made available pursuant to Administrative Code § 17-307(b)(5)(b).

(2)Eligibility for waiting lists. Persons listed on a Former FTP Waiting List are eligible for inclusion on a supervisory license waiting list established pursuant to this subdivision, except for persons whose full-term or temporary permit was revoked or suspended and persons who the Department determines are not fit to operate a mobile food vending business.

(3)No limitation on number of positions on waiting lists. There is no limitation on the number of positions on the waiting lists established pursuant to this subdivision.

(4)One supervisory license waiting list position per person. For the establishment of the initial waiting lists, eligible waiting list applicants must choose to join one or neither waiting list. A person who applies for waiting lists for both supervisory licenses, or who fails to respond to the application notice, will be added only to the waiting list for licenses designated for use in boroughs outside of Manhattan. A person who indicates on the application form that they do not wish to join either waiting list will be considered to have forfeited their application.

(5)Notice of establishment of waiting list. At least thirty (30) days prior to the establishment of a waiting list pursuant to this subdivision, notice of the opportunity to apply to be on a waiting list will be given by mail or, for individuals who have opted into electronic notifications, by electronic means, to all eligible persons as described in this subdivision.

(6)Application for waiting list position. The Department will make available mail-in procedures to allow persons to apply for a place on a waiting list or to decline to be placed on a waiting list established pursuant to this subdivision. The application must be postmarked by the date specified in the notice published pursuant to paragraph 5 of this subdivision. The Department will notify persons assigned a position on the list in writing sent either to the mailing address or, for persons who opted into receiving electronic notifications, to the electronic contact information provided in their waiting list applications.

(7)Order in waiting lists. (A) The Department will order all persons on the waiting lists in accordance with the preference categories set forth in Administrative Code § 17-307(b)(5)(d), defining "continuously licensed vendors" as persons who the Department determined did not hold a valid full-term mobile food vending permit as of January 1, 2022 and who: (i) held a valid food vendor license on or before March 1, 2017, which license was still valid on February 28, 2021; or (ii) held a valid food vendor license before March 1, 2017 and whose renewal application for such license was pending as of March 1, 2017 and who had otherwise fulfilled all requirements to renew such license, which was still valid on February 28, 2021. (B) Within each preference category, the Department will order persons by their position on the waiting list in ascending order of waiting list number on a Former FTP Waiting List, and by ascending order of mobile food vendor license number in the case of ties that result from persons with the same on different Former FTP Waiting Lists. (C) If a person holds more than one position on Former FTP Waiting Lists, the Department will assign to that person the single highest position held.

(b)Supervisory license waiting list for veterans and persons with a disability.

(c)Notification of change of contact information. Each person on a supervisory license waiting list must notify the Department of any change of address or, for persons who opted into receiving electronic notifications, change of electronic contact information within ten days of such change. Failure to provide change of address or electronic contact information may result in the loss of a person's supervisory license waiting list position. Any person who fails to timely provide the Department with a change of address or electronic contact information, as applicable, and consequently does not respond to a notice from the Department sent to their address electronic contact information of record as known to the Department through mobile food vendor license records will be deemed to have abandoned their place on the supervisory license waiting list.

(d)Eligibility for supervisory license.

(e)Number of supervisory license applications.

(f)Applying for and maintaining supervisory license.

(g)Supervisory license-associated permits; term; renewal; notification.

(h)Effect of license or permit revocation or suspension.
