New York City BID (Business Improvement District) Management Guide -This document is targeted toward individuals who may be new BID managers in New York City and BID staff that are looking for resources to administer their ongoing relationship with SBS and other City Agencies or better understand contractual or legislative procedures.

Those BIDs that have submitted their latest audited financial statements on time and whose audited financial statements have no material weaknesses will have fulfilled this requirement.
