Chair Abreu asks NYPD and DOT about enforcement responsibilities

New York City Council · Sep 30, 2026 · starts 2:08:47 · 40 sec

Abreu asks NYPD if they wish to outsource street safety enforcement to DOT, and asks DOT if they have manpower to enforce street safety laws, and both say no.

Shaun Abreu

You know DOT, you know being the person, you know being being in the purview of enforcing street safety laws I just want to ask a question to PD first.

Shaun Abreu

Do you wish to outsource your street safety enforcement to DOT?

Mike Flynn

No.

Shaun Abreu

Okay.

Shaun Abreu

And my question to you, Commissioner, is would you like to enforce street safety laws?

Mike Flynn

I think that's a massive question.

Shaun Abreu

Do you have the manpower to enforce current street safety laws?

Mike Flynn

No.

Shaun Abreu

No further questions.

Shaun Abreu

Thank you.

Shaun Abreu

I will now turn it over to Councilmember Epstein.
