You can file a complaint about a dry cleaner in New York City that:
- Damages your clothing
- Refuses to give you a refund
- Fails to deliver goods or services
- Overcharges
- Charges different prices for men and women for the same service.
The Department of Consumer Affairs can also direct you to the proper authorities if a dry cleaner closes down without returning your clothing. The City does not license dry cleaners and cannot force closed dry cleaner businesses to return your clothing.
