The de Blasio Administration today announced Small Business First, a new initiative led by the Mayor’s Office of Operations and the Department of Small Business Services (SBS), in coordination with multiple City agencies, to improve the regulatory climate in New York City and help businesses avoid penalties and fines.

Collaborating with more than ten City agencies, the initiative will build upon existing regulatory reforms by reaching small businesses and underserved New Yorkers across the five boroughs, promoting education and compliance as part of enforcement, and reducing violations by focusing on cross-agency collaboration to simplify rules and compliance processes. The first inter-agency meeting was held on Thursday, July 24th, with First Deputy Mayor Anthony Shorris and Deputy Mayor Alicia Glen in attendance.

"Through simplification, collaboration, and education, Small Business First will help small businesses comply with the City’s rules and regulations, and as a result reduce fines and violations on small businesses," said Department of Small Business Services Commissioner Maria Torres-Springer. “The Department of Small Business Services is proud to lead this multi-faceted and far-reaching effort with the Mayor’s Office of Operations and our partner agencies to remove regulatory hurdles and facilitate the growth of small businesses throughout the five boroughs.”

Last month, the de Blasio Administration announced Small Business First, a new initiative led by the NYC Department of Small Business Services and the Mayor’s Office of Operations in coordination with multiple City agencies to improve the regulatory climate in New York City. Building upon previous reforms, the initiative seeks to make changes that will assist businesses by:

  • Providing better information about government requirements and how to comply
  • Simplifying rules and compliance processes to reduce violations
  • Ensuring enforcement focuses on promoting compliance through education and flexibility
  • Easing the process for correction and adjudication of violations
  • Delivering improved services to immigrant and low/moderate-income entrepreneurs and outer-borough businesses

Mayor de Blasio has directed SBS and Operations to develop recommendations to achieve these goals by working with City agencies and soliciting feedback from the public.

Important Notice from the NYC Dept. of Health & Mental Hygiene

There have been reports of employers in New York City requiring employees who have recently traveled to Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia or Nigeria to get tested for Ebola before being allowed to return to work or being told they cannot return to work.

We remind employers and all New Yorkers that:

  • Traveling to an affected country does not mean you have Ebola.
  • You cannot be infected by being near someone who has Ebola.
  • Ebola is spread by directly touching the bodily fluids of an infected person.
  • The only people at risk in the current outbreak are those who traveled to an affected country AND had direct contact with an Ebola patient or their body fluids.
  • If someone visited one of the affected countries, but did not have direct contact with a person or animal with Ebola, they are NOT at risk.
