BILL NUMBER:A9741
Title of bill
An act to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to ordering the confiscation of property or devices belonging to persistent violators of noise ordinances
Purpose
To ensure noise ordinances are being followed, and repeat offenders punished through the confiscation of their device or property that was willfully being used.
Summary of provision
Amends subdivision (b) of section 24-257 to order confiscation of property or devices used in continually violating the noise ordinance. The confiscation order can be challenged through a hearing. The board makes the final decision, once the hearing has been completed.
Justification
Neighborhoods should not have to deal with constant loud noises, especially by neighbors or citizens who are repeat offenders. Confiscating their devices will aide in curbing the amount of noise that emits from certain neighborhoods. Offenders have the ability to go before a hearing to plead their case, yet the hearing board has final say in its decision.
Legislative history
None.
Fiscal implications
Fiscal implications to be determined.
Effective date
This act shall take effect immediately.
