Increasing the civil penalty for repeated littering violations.

This bill would set a civil penalty against commercial, manufacturing or industrial buildings for violations of Admin. Code § 16-118(2)(a) (sidewalk littering and obstruction) of $50 for the first violation, $300 for the second violation committed on a different day within any 12 month period, and $500 for the third and each subsequent violation committed on a different day within any 12 month period. The bill would also require the Department of Sanitation to produce educational materials related to the changes in such penalties.
