Council Member Menin inquires about the discrepancy between the 823 supervisory licenses issued and only 382 permits obtained. Deputy Commissioner Schiff explains:
- There is no actual discrepancy, but rather a difference between licenses and permits
- The local law doesn't set a deadline for applying for permits after obtaining a license
- The department is unsure why all license holders haven't obtained permits yet

Now in your testimony, and I'm just gonna read from it, you said so far 382 of the 823 licenses have obtained their supervisory license permits.

Why is there this discrepancy?
Corinne Schiff
0:35:55
There's no discrepancy.
0:35:56

I don't mean discrepancy.
0:36:00
I mean why the differential?
Corinne Schiff

So if I understand your question, your question is why, if there are eight twenty three with the license, why have three eighty two turn into permits?
0:36:11
So that's an important question.
0:36:13
We don't know the answer to that.
0:36:14
As I noted, the local law doesn't have a deadline to apply for the permit, and so they may eventually turn into permits.

We we don't know.
