N.Y.C. Admin. Code § 20-1607: § 20-1607 Recordkeeping.

a. A covered security guard employer shall retain records documenting such employer’s compliance with the applicable requirements of this chapter for a period of 6 years, and shall allow the department to access such records and other relevant information, consistent with applicable law and in accordance with rules of the department and with appropriate notice, in furtherance of an investigation conducted pursuant to this chapter. A covered security guard employer must maintain records in their original format and provide such records to the department in their original format or a electronic format as set forth in rules of the department. The department also may establish by rule, and require covered security guard employers to adhere to, a uniform system of records.

b. The failure of a covered security guard employer to maintain, retain, or produce a record or other information required to be maintained by this chapter and requested by the department in furtherance of an investigation conducted pursuant to this chapter that is relevant to a material fact alleged by the department in a notice of violation issued pursuant to this chapter creates a rebuttable presumption that such fact is true.
