New York City Department of Consumer Affairs 3rd party Bond
Third Party Compliance Bond Requirement
As recently as the late 1990’s The New York City Department of Consumer Affairs has imposed a mandatory Compliance Bond requirement. These apply to those looking to be licensed or seeking permits to perform certain business operations. For many of these classes of businesses or operations they referred to as a 3rd party bond or a Compliance Bond.
What is a 3rd Party Compliance Bond or a 3rd Party Bond?
Contrary to popular belief, a Compliance Bond IS NOT INSURANCE, however it often mistaken as such. A Compliance Bond is the guarantee or surety that a third party will make good on a claim in the event that there is a loss. Therefore, as an example, if a second hand dealer like an auto sales shop sells someone a car that is a lemon, the surety or bonding company is not guaranteeing the worthiness of that vehicle. If the vehicle turns out to be a lemon, and the consumer files a valid complaint with the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs.
The Surety Company or Bonding Company which issued the bond on the dealer’s behalf, will make good on the claim. They will then seek to be remunerated from the dealer. So, the dealer will need to pay the surety back. Therefore, the 3rd Party Compliance Bond makes it easier for the consumer to be refunded for their loss or purchase.
Who Needs a 3rd Party Compliance Bond?

However, there are other forms of bonding that are just as important to many types of businesses.
