(Repealed City Record 1/6/2023, eff. 2/5/2023)

§ 2-261 Warranties and Guarantees Given in Connection with Repairs.

A licensee shall warrant or guarantee:

   (a)   the individual parts replaced, for a minimum period of 90 days after the repaired item is delivered to the customer; and

   (b)   labor for such repairs, for a minimum period of 30 days after the repaired item is delivered to the customer. If the cause of the difficulty proves to be unrelated to parts replaced or servicing performed during the prior service call, a charge may be made for the parts and labor required to correct the problem.

§ 2-262 Insurance Coverage.

   (a)   A licensee shall at all times carry insurance which, in the opinion of the Commissioner, is adequate to protect the public. Sufficient coverage shall include protection against liability for damage done to the customer's property and against loss by fire and theft of the average number of articles entrusted to the licensee or his or her agents or left by customers at any one time with the licensee for service. Where special circumstances make it difficult or impossible to obtain the required insurance, an application may be made to the Commissioner for approval of a substitute means of coverage.

   (b)   A certificate of insurance, in which the insurance company undertakes to notify the Department of Consumer Affairs as an interested party, shall accompany every application for a license. Where a licensee's insurance coverage is suspended or revoked for any reason, the applicable insurance carrier shall promptly notify this Department of the extent and terms of the suspension or revocation.

   (c)   A licensee shall notify this Department within five working days of damage to, theft or loss of customers' property which is in excess of 10 per cent of the average number of articles entrusted to the licensee or his or her agents or left by customers at any one time with the license for service.

   (d)   Failure to maintain such insurance at all times shall be considered grounds for the suspension or revocation of a license issued pursuant to Subchapter 24 of Chapter 2 of Title 20 of the Administrative Code.

§ 2-263 Construction.

   (a)   Nothing contained in 6 RCNY §§ 2-251 through 2-263 shall be construed to relieve a licensee from compliance with any other applicable laws of New York City, New York State or the United States.

   (b)   Nothing contained in 6 RCNY §§ 2-251 through 2-263 shall be construed to waive any right that a customer may have under common law or statute.

   (c)   In the event that all or any part of 6 RCNY §§ 2-251 through 2-263 are in conflict with any other regulation of the Department of Consumer Affairs, these regulations shall take precedence.

§ 2-264 Severability.

If any provision of 6 RCNY §§ 2-251 through 2-263 or the application of such provision to any person or circumstances is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of these regulations which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of these regulations are severable.
