This is your typical large city agency that hands out business permits, testing and various other licenses to do business in and with the city. While nothing in perfect (far from it), in municipal government agencies, and the same holds true here, they are fairly well organized. Although they neglected to tell me that I needed a particular form when I initially checked it (a form that was not included with the forms package which was downloaded from home and filled out even before showing up), so I wasted time and had to come back. The staff seems knowledgeable and relatively efficient and they get you in and out fairly quickly. In any case, you can't avoid this place if you are trying to do business within the city and need a license or permit - just make sure you have everything you need prior to going here.
