Well that's an interesting question. As you've already looked up there are no penalty provisions in NY General Business Law section 130 for not filing the required DBA certificate. That being said, in my opinion someone knowingly violating that section of the GBL might be found liable under GBL sec. 349 which penalizes deceptive business practices. Unlikely, but possible.
