S3024-2011 Memo

BILL NUMBER:S3024

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:
2009-10: S.3705 - Died in Cities; A.9741

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Fiscal implications to be determined.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
