This dataset features all license applications submitted to the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP)—formerly the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA). It includes applications where a license was issued or renewed, denied, withdrawn, or remains in pending status. If applicable, there is a corresponding license number, details of which can be found in the DCWP Licenses dataset.

NOTE: This dataset reflects data as of 7/21/2023. The Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) is working on an updated version of this dataset.

This dataset features DCWP licenses that have been revoked, suspended, or surrendered as well as licenses that have been reinstated, if applicable.

Licenses can be suspended or revoked for several reasons including, an order by the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings; non-payment of fines and/or fees; or not maintaining a license requirement such as a current driver’s license or insurance coverage.

Licenses are typically surrendered when a business closes, changes ownership, changes location, changes business name, or discontinues the activity that required the license.

Licenses can be reinstated based on appeal of a revocation, expiration of a suspension, or new application after surrendering it.

Each record in the dataset represents a time that a license was revoked, suspended, surrendered, or reinstated so a license can appear more than once.

This dataset can be linked to other DCA datasets using the DCA License Number column. This dataset cannot be linked to an administrative hearing decision or provide a specific reason for the change in status.

This dataset features inspections of devices such as gasoline pumps, fuel oil meters, scales, petroleum octane ratings, and other weights and measures devices conducted by DCWP. DCWP inspects businesses to ensure compliance with the NYS Department of Agriculture's weights and measures laws.
