New York Laws
Article 5 - Periodic Inspection of Motor Vehicles
304 - Inspection and Certificates of Inspection.

(b) If such inspection discloses the necessity for adjustments,
corrections or repairs the owner shall be so notified and shall have
such adjustments, corrections or repairs made within a period of thirty
days. If such inspection discloses improper tire pressure, the owner
shall be so notified and may have such adjustments, corrections or
repairs made as authorized by this subdivision. The commissioner shall
establish procedures for reporting the results of such inspections and
for notifying the owners. The owner may have such adjustments,
corrections and repairs made in any way and by any person provided that
such repairs are made in a manner consistent with federal law and
regulations.
(c) The commissioner shall issue certificates of inspection to
official inspection stations. Such certificates of inspection shall be
serially numbered and shall bear such information as the commissioner
may require, and shall include a notice that any complaint against an
official inspection station for inadequate inspection or for making
excessive or unreasonable repairs, may be made in writing to the
department of motor vehicles at Albany, New York. Each certificate shall
be valid until the end of the inspection period during which the motor
vehicle must again be inspected, as determined by the rules and
regulations of the commissioner, or until the end of the repair period
designated under section three hundred four (b), whichever occurs first.
