New law allows merchants to be notified of complaints
City would inform business owners within 72 hours
The city will create a notification system to allow business owners to be informed about excessive noise and other complaints lodged against them under a new law recently signed by Mayor Bill de Blasio.
On May 10, the mayor signed legislation sponsored by Councilmember Robert Cornegy Jr. (D-Bedford-Stuyvesant) requiring the New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications to create a notification system that would inform business owners of any complaints lodged against them with city agencies within 72 hours.
Business owners will be able to sign up for the notification program voluntarily.
