This bill would allow the NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) to impose civil penalties of $100 per day for the unlicensed operation of a mobile car wash. It would also allow DSNY to tow and remove any vehicle or equipment used to operate licensed or unlicensed mobile car washes upon issuance of a notice of violation for Admin Code § 16-118(4) or (6) or § 15-205 (littering from a vehicle into the street; allowing noxious liquid to run into the street; obstructing a fire hydrant). Owners of towed vehicles and equipment could be charged for the cost of towing and for the storage of vehicles and equipment, and may be subject to forfeiture proceedings.
