Applying for a DOHMH permit does not satisfy regulatory requirements of other City/ State Agencies. It is the business owner's responsibility to apply for all other permits, licenses, and authorizations required by other City and State Agencies. Failure to comply with relevant regulations, including those under the jurisdiction of other Agencies, may result in suspension of DOHMH permits until proof of compliance is provided.
