No one is going to listen or enforce that.

I was just thinking, who is going to enforce this? Until there's a wall of meter maids (like there are in some neighborhoods) whose duties are changed to ticket illegal trash, this new time thing can't do anything, right?

There are sanitation inspectors who go around looking for trash and recycling violations, like lids off cans, trash mixed with recyclables etc. Fines are $200+ each ticket. The city is rubbing its hands in glee over this new income stream, and the rats won’t be fazed at all.

Yeah I've actually seen some of these tickets pop up recently on the doors into buildings, so there does appear to be stepped up enforcement on this front.

Same reason Adams brought back 4 day ASP. More money.

You can’t be serious. The sanitation department loves fining buildings for absolutely everything.

Yeah 100% false. Garbage fines are one of the most surefire things you can get in this city.

Don't worry, small home owners will get hit with fines because the city loves to fine small home owners every opportunity they get. :/

This is why this new rule annoys me. They aren't gonna ticket the large apartment complexes all over the bronx and brooklyn, but every home in staten island and queens is gonna get pinged at least once.

Yup — and it’s those buildings and the restaurants that are the major issue
