Stoop line stands

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring the department of transportation to conduct on-site reviews of stoop line stand license applications, and to repeal section 20-239 of the administrative code of the city of New York, relating to approving stoop line stands

This bill would require the Department of Transportation (“DOT”) to conduct an on-site inspection and prepare a report on whether or not a stoop line stand would have an adverse effect on pedestrian safety or would obstruct pedestrian passage before the Department of Consumer Affairs (“DCA”) may issue or renew any stoop line stand license. Under this bill, the DCA Commissioner would be required to forward copies of the DOT report and the stoop line stand application or renewal to the local council member and community board within five days of having received them.
