N.Y. General Business Law § 75: Posting and surrender of license certificate

§ 75. Posting and surrender of license certificate. Immediately upon

the receipt of the license certificate issued by the department of state

pursuant to this article, the licensee named therein shall cause such

license certificate to be posted up and at all times displayed in a

conspicuous place in the bureau, agency, sub-agency, office or branch

office for which it is issued, so that all persons visiting such place

may readily see the same. Such license certificate shall at all

reasonable times be subject to inspection by the secretary of state or

an authorized representative or representatives of the department of

state. It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, partnership, limited

liability company or corporation holding such license certificate to

post such certificate or to permit such certificate to be posted upon

premises other than those described therein or to which it has been

transferred pursuant to the provisions of this article, or knowingly to

alter, deface or destroy any such license certificate. Every license

certificate shall be surrendered to the department of state within

seventy-two hours after its terms shall have expired or after notice in

writing to the holder that such license has been revoked. Failure to

comply with any of the provisions of this section is a misdemeanor and

sufficient cause for the revocation of a license.
