New York robocall law at a glance
The federal TCPA protects everyone in New York. Here’s how it works with the state’s own rules.
Two laws protect New York residents
A federal law covers everyone — and New York’s own rules can add to it.
The TCPA
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act — the nationwide law behind every claim.
- Protects everyone in New York, no matter the state rules.
- Bars autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to your cell without consent.
- $500–$1,500 per call, stacking with every violation.
- You can sue personally — you don’t wait on the government.
New York telemarketing law (General Business Law §§ 399-z & 399-p)
How New York adds to your protection.
- Calling hours: Federal: 8 a.m. to 9 p.m..
- Do Not Call: Uses the national registry.
- Applies on top of the federal TCPA — sometimes with extra penalties.
How the law works in New York
The federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) protects everyone in New York. The TCPA is the national law that makes it illegal for companies to robocall, robotext, or auto-dial your cell phone, or to call any number on the Do Not Call list, without your written permission. When a company breaks that rule, the law lets you collect $500 per illegal call or text, and up to $1,500 per call if the violation was willful. Those amounts stack: every separate call or text is its own violation, so a few weeks of robocalls can add up fast.
New York layers its own protections on top through the General Business Law. Section 399-z governs telemarketing sales calls and requires sellers to honor your request to be placed on their internal do-not-call list and to stop calling. Section 399-p regulates automatic dialing-announcing devices, the machines that play prerecorded messages, including what they must disclose and banning random or sequential number dialing. New York directs callers to the national Do Not Call Registry rather than maintaining a separate active state list, and for calling hours the federal 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. window applies.

New York robocall FAQs
Can I sue for robocalls in New York?
Yes. The federal TCPA lets New York residents sue for $500 to $1,500 per illegal robocall, robotext, or auto-dialed call to a cell phone, and per call to any number on the Do Not Call Registry. New York’s General Business Law adds further protections. Save your call logs and any voicemails. They are your evidence.
Does New York have its own robocall law?
Yes. New York’s General Business Law §§ 399-z and 399-p regulate telemarketing. Section 399-z requires sellers to honor your do-not-call request, and section 399-p governs prerecorded calling machines, including required disclosures and a ban on random or sequential number dialing. You can also bring your own claim under the federal TCPA.
What are New York’s calling hours?
New York does not set its own statewide telemarketing hours, so the federal window applies: companies may generally only place sales calls between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. in your local time. A sales call before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. may break the federal TCPA, which can mean money in your pocket.
Do I need a New York lawyer for a robocall case?
Not specifically. The TCPA is a federal law, so you do not need an attorney based in New York. Max Morgan represents New York residents and brings in local counsel wherever a case requires it. Your review is free, and there is no fee unless you recover.
