Authorizing a cure period for certain item pricing violations.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to authorizing a cure period for certain item pricing violations

Under New York City law, supermarkets, groceries and bodegas must affix a price sticker on each individual item of most products offered for sale, as opposed to posting a single price on the shelf where the items are displayed. DCA inspectors issue violations for each failure to sticker price more than five items in a single stock unit. Int. No. 436 would allow retailers to cure first time violations rather than paying civil penalties. A retail store would have to submit proof that it has cured the violation within 30 days of receiving a notice of violation.
