Bill > S08256

This bill amends the New York City administrative code to prohibit the Sanitation Department from issuing violations, tickets, or summonses to residential occupants, owners, lessees, tenants, or property managers during specific weekend hours (from 3:00 p.m. on Friday to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday) for improperly placing trash, waste, or recyclable materials out for collection earlier than the department's designated collection hours. The legislation provides a temporary weekend grace period for residents who might place their garbage out ahead of the prescribed time, effectively preventing enforcement actions during these specified hours. This means that during this weekend window, residents will not face penalties for putting out their trash or recyclables slightly earlier than the official collection guidelines normally permit. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, offering immediate relief to residential occupants who might otherwise receive citations for such minor infractions.
