BILL NUMBER: S2388 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to unlawful obstructions PURPOSE : The subject bill amends sections 16-118(2) and 10-119(a) and (b) of the New York City Administrative Code to prevent the placing of any "A-frame" signs, sandwich board signs or other type of sign advertising on sidewalks, curbstones, etc. JUSTIFICATION : Currently § 16-118(2) of the New York City Administrative Code authorizes the New York City Department of Sanitation to issue violations to persons who fail to keep the sidewalks, air shafts, areaways, backyards, courts, alleys, etc. abutting their buildings or premises free from garbage, refuse, rubbish, litter and other offensive material. It has been a long standing Department policy, and the New York City Environmental Control Board has determined, that A-frame signs, sandwich board signs and signs staked into the sidewalk constitute a sidewalk obstruction.
