Prohibits the issuance of tickets to residential occupants for certain violations of the sanitation code

Friday trash ticket relief for city residents

New York City's sanitation department cannot issue violation notices, appearance tickets, or summonses solely for qualifying Friday trash or recycling timing. This protects residential owners, lessees, tenants, occupants, and anyone managing or controlling the building or home. Waste must be set out after 3:00 p.m. Friday in an area with Saturday collection. The local community board must adopt a resolution requesting early Friday set-out. The department must implement that request within 30 days after adoption. Other set-out violations remain enforceable, and the department keeps its authority to regulate how waste is set out. The law takes effect on the same date and in the same manner as the related 2025 sanitation-ticket law.
