Q&A

Sanchez questions on Intro 75 enforcement resource needs

New York City Council · Jul 1, 2026 · starts 0:38:30 · 1 min 14 sec

Sanchez asks how enforcement resource needs would change under Intro 75. Anderson says needs would not change but resources would be used more effectively, giving the example of businesses like bars that are not open during the current enforcement windows.

Justin E. Sanchez

And in terms of entry of 75, can you describe how

Justin E. Sanchez

how the department's enforcement resource needs would change if this bill were to be enacted?

Gregory Anderson

Yeah, so I don't think our enforcement resource needs would change, but we'd be able to use those resources more effectively in order to conduct that enforcement.

Gregory Anderson

And I think one of the examples that our team talks about a lot is

Gregory Anderson

You can have an area, so the two one-hour periods are different district by district.

Gregory Anderson

You could have a district where one of the commercial routing hours is 10 a.m.

Gregory Anderson

To 11 a.m., but a business may not open, you know, let's say they're a bar or something like that that doesn't open until noon or later.

Gregory Anderson

That means that during that 10 to 11 a.m.

Gregory Anderson

Window, we can't even write them a ticket because they're not open.

Gregory Anderson

So what this would allow us to do is go to that business anytime they're open, observe the condition, and then issue a violation.

Gregory Anderson

So we'd be able to...

Gregory Anderson

Use our existing enforcement resources more effectively.

Justin E. Sanchez

No questions from them.
