It is an unconscionable practice for a storage warehouse operator or his authorized agent to sell a consumer's stored goods in satisfaction of alleged charges owed by the consumer unless the consumer shall first be afforded notice and the opportunity for arbitration before the New York Better Business Bureau on the issues of:
(a) nonpayment of the alleged charges owing; and
(b) the amount of such alleged charges. This provision does not affect any other legal right that a consumer may have prior to sale of his/her stored goods.
