N.Y. Vehicle & Traffic Law § 398-k: Improper display of signs

§ 398-k. Improper display of signs. 1. The holder of a repair shop

registration shall remove or cause to be removed any sign which contains

the registration number of the station which is visible to the public

and which is required to be displayed by this article or regulations

promulgated thereunder if the registration is revoked or suspended or

the repair shop is out of business. If the registration is only

suspended, the holder may cover up the sign instead of removing it.

2. No person shall permit the display of any sign required to be

displayed by this article or regulations promulgated thereunder

indicating to the public that an official repair shop is operating

unless a repair shop registration has been issued to that person and is

currently valid.
