How to find new business records in New York

Three records in New York were read and checked against the same six questions. 3 are published where anyone can read them, 3 carry a date you can filter on, and 2 carry the premises address rather than a filing address. Published by New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection and New York State Department of State.
