The DCA claimed Zenk lied on his license renewal form by failing to disclose that his mother-in-law, Elda Pastor, owned a separate pedicab company operating out of his garage. Zenk argues that he did not lie because city regulations do not classify a mother-in-law as immediate family. He has filed a lawsuit, claiming the DCA denied him due process and endangered his livelihood. A judge has temporarily barred the DCA from selling his licenses but also prohibited Zenk from leasing out his pedicabs until a court hearing in September. Zenk is seeking to restore his business and support the 22 drivers who rely on his pedicabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2012\/08\/17\/pedicab-prince-in-legal-fight-with-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/nypost.com\/2012\/08\/17\/pedicab-prince-in-legal-fight-with-city\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Osman Zenk, a Turkish immigrant and successful pedicab business owner in Manhattan, is fighting to regain his 28 pedicab licenses after they were revoked by the city&#8217;s Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA).
