Bill > A02693

This bill amends the New York City Administrative Code to prohibit the Sanitation Department from issuing violations, tickets, or summonses to residential building owners, tenants, or occupants during specific weekend hours (from 3:00 p.m. on Friday to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday) for improperly placing trash, solid waste, or recyclable materials out for collection earlier than the department's designated collection times. The bill provides a temporary weekend grace period for residents who place their garbage out slightly ahead of the prescribed schedule, effectively preventing them from receiving citations during these hours. This modification aims to offer some flexibility to residents who may accidentally put out their trash or recyclables before the officially permitted time, recognizing that such minor infractions during weekend hours should not result in automatic penalties. The amendment applies to both city sanitation services and private waste collection services that are licensed or registered under the city's regulations.
