NYCEDC Compliance

NYCEDC has Compliance Specialists that work with NYCEDC, NYCIDA, NYCNCC and Build NYC project companies and institutions who benefit from our financial programs and/or loans.

To receive benefits, our project companies have agreed to regularly report specific details about their organizations. We collect this information to help them remain in good standing. Many NYCEDC, NYCIDA, NYCNCC, and Build NYC Agreements, require our projects to report specific information that may include insurance, employment, and benefits information. Below you can find useful information about our reporting requirements, common compliance reporting forms, and information about benefits issued to projects.
