Q&A

Chair Abreu asks about enforcement targeting non-UL certified devices

New York City Council · Sep 30, 2026 · starts 1:51:33 · 58 sec

Abreu asks what percentage of NYPD enforcement actions target non-UL certified devices, and NYPD says that enforcement is handled by DCWP and FDNY, not NYPD.

Shaun Abreu

What percentage of NY...

Shaun Abreu

IPD's on-street micromobility-related enforcement actions target non-UL certified devices compared to devices that exceed legal speed and wattage limits.

Unidentified speaker

So the non-UL, the UL issue, right, that enforcement is really not us.

Unidentified speaker

So that's in the admin code 20-610, right?

Unidentified speaker

And that...

Unidentified speaker

Is really about points of sale, and that's going to be on the UL piece, that's going to be DCWP or the fire department.

Shaun Abreu

So NYPD does not do enforcement actions that target non-UL certified devices, is that correct?

Unidentified speaker

I want to be clear, though, because the relevant admin code provision that I believe you're talking about, right, is not about possession.

Unidentified speaker

It's about selling it, renting it, the things you do at the point of sale.

Unidentified speaker

And actually, by statute, actually, PE does not have authority to do that.

Unidentified speaker

It is actually assigned to other agencies.
