S 1597 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the declaration of a sign as a public nuisance and its removal

This bill amends New York City's administrative code to declare signs larger than 200 square feet (19 square meters) that violate zoning, building, or signage rules as public nuisances. It directly affects property owners or businesses displaying such signs that don't comply with city regulations. The commissioner of buildings must order removal after providing notice and a hearing, and must immediately remove any previously deemed illegal signs. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
