NYC L.L. 2007/009 In relation to bicycles used for certain commercial purposes

L.L. 2007/009 Enactment date: 3/28/2007 Int. No. 24-A By Council Members Gerson, Brewer, Martinez, Sanders Jr., Mendez, Mealy, Liu, Recchia Jr., Lappin, Gentile, Garodnick, Sears and Weprin A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to bicycles used for certain commercial purposes. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The City of New York is replete with businesses that utilize bicycles due to their cost efficiency and high maneuverability. Bicycle riders are frequently seen on the City streets acting as couriers for a wide variety of consumer items. However, due to the quantity of pedestrian and vehicular traffic within the City, potentially dangerous collisions are inevitable. Approximately 540,000 bicyclists visit emergency rooms each year throughout the United States. Of those, roughly 67,000 have suffered head injuries. According to the New York City Department of Transportation, head injuries are the most common cause of death among cyclists and wearing a helmet can significantly reduce the risk of head injury. Studies indicate that the use of helmets diminishes the danger of bicycle-related head trauma by 74%-85%. To ensure a minimum level of protection, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has adopted a helmet standard that became mandatory for all helmets manufactured for sale in the U.S. after March, 1999. The low cost of safety helmets relative to the potentially severe dangers resulting from bicycle accidents clearly demonstrates the benefits of such protective equipment. Additionally, reducing serious head injuries may result in a financial benefit for businesses due to reduced medical and insurance costs. Finally, a reduction in such injuries may help spare the City's health care resources. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect one hundred twenty days after it shall have been enacted into law.

NYC L.L. 2007/012 In relation to prohibiting the use of artificial trans fats by food service establishments and mobile food unit commissaries

L.L. 2007/012 Enactment date: 3/28/2007 Int. No. 517 By Council Members Vallone Jr., Gentile, James, Koppell, Nelson, Stewart, Sears, Recchia Jr., Rivera, Baez, Martinez, Dickens and Weprin A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the City of New York, in relation to prohibiting the use of artificial trans fats by food service establishments and mobile food unit commissaries. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. Trans fat intake increases the risk of heart disease, which is the leading cause of death in New York City. Because a significant portion of dietary trans fat comes from foods purchased at food service establishments and mobile food unit commissaries, the presence of artificial trans fat purchased at such establishments contributes to cardiovascular risk in New York City. The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, recommend that dietary intake of trans fat be "as low as possible." On December 5, 2006, pursuant to the authority granted to it by § 558 of the New York City Charter, the Board of Health unanimously approved a resolution to amend Article 81 of the New York City Health Code to restrict the use of artificial trans fat in food service establishments and mobile food unit commissaries regulated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The Council finds that the presence of artificial trans fat in foods prepared in food service establishments and mobile food unit commissaries poses a threat to the public health. Therefore, the Council finds it warranted to incorporate the ban on artificial trans fat into the Administrative Code. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect on July 1, 2007 with respect to oils, shortenings and margarines containing artificial trans fat that are used for frying or in spreads; and shall take effect on July 1, 2008 with respect to oils or shortenings used for deep frying of yeast dough or cake batter, and for all other foods containing artificial trans fat.

NYC L.L. 2007/019 In relation to regulating and licensing pedicabs

L.L. 2007/019 Enactment date: 4/23/2007 Int. No. 331-A By Council Members Comrie, the Speaker (Council Member Quinn), Martinez, McMahon, Monserrate, Seabrook, Stewart, White Jr., Recchia Jr., Gentile, Garodnick, Koppell, Liu, Gennaro, Sears, and DeBlasio (in conjunction with the Mayor) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York in relation to regulating and licensing pedicabs. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 4. Severability clause. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section or part of this local law shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the remaining portions of this local law, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered. It is hereby declared to be the intent of the legislature that this act would have been enacted even if such invalid provisions had not been included herein. § 5. This local law shall take effect 150 days after it shall have become a law, except that prior to such date, the Commissioner may take such actions, including the promulgating of rules and the processing of applications as provided in subchapter 9 of chapter 2 of title 20 of the administrative code of the city of New York and in such rules, as necessary to implement this local law, and except that section three of this local law shall take effect immediately and except that section 20-251 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as added by section one of this local law, shall be deemed repealed two years after it shall have become a law.

NYC L.L. 2007/020 In relation to prohibiting the use of non-wood bats

L.L. 2007/020 Enactment date: 4/23/2007 Int. No. 341-A By Council Members Oddo, Fidler, Sears, White Jr., McMahon, Vallone Jr., Felder, Martinez, de Blasio, Gallagher, Comrie, Mendez, Reyna, Brewer, Stewart, Yassky, Nelson, Seabrook, Addabbo Jr., Recchia Jr., Gioia, Barron, Arroyo, Baez, Palma, Vacca, Koppell, Gonzalez, Lappin, Vann, Ignizio, Rivera and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to prohibiting the use of non-wood bats. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The Council hereby finds that the use of non-wood bats poses an unacceptable risk of injury to children, particularly those who play competitive high school baseball. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect on September 1, 2007.

NYC L.L. 2007/023 In relation to the contents of a lobbyist's statement of registration, and to repeal subdivision (g) of section 3-213 of the administrative code of the city of …

L.L. 2007/023 Enactment date: 5/1/2007 Int. No. 502-B By Council Member Felder, the Speaker (Council Member Quinn), Gentile, Koppell, Nelson, Palma, Weprin, White Jr., Sears and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) (in conjunction with the Mayor) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the contents of a lobbyist's statement of registration, and to repeal subdivision (g) of section 3-213 of the administrative code of the city of New York, relating to the mailing of forms by the city clerk. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Statement of Legislative Findings and Intent. The Council hereby Finds and Declares that this law would make necessary improvements in the implementation of the City's Lobbying Law as recently amended by Local Law 15 of 2006, which is designed to increase the disclosure of lobbyist activities, including political consulting and fundraising. First, the lobbyist should not be required to include the name and home address of his or her unemancipated child in his or her annual statement of registration, unless and until a campaign contribution is made in the unemancipated child's name. If such a contribution is made by the unemancipated child of a lobbyist, it is necessary for the lobbyist to report this information in his or her annual statement of registration, in order to assist the Campaign Finance Board (the "CFB") in identifying non-matchable campaign contributions under Local Law 17 of 2006. Second, the lobbyist's registration statement should contain his or her business and home addresses and business telephone number, and the home and business addresses of his or her spouse or domestic partner, as well as the name and home address of his or her unemancipated child if a campaign contribution is made in the unemancipated child's name, again to assist the CFB in identifying non-matchable campaign contributions. Third, there is good reason to keep confidential the home address of the lobbyist, the home addresses of officers and employees in the organization's division that engages in any lobbying activities ("lobbying division"), and the names and home and business addresses of their spouses or domestic partners and unemancipated children, especially in the case of lobbyists who, for example, represent family planning clinics or battered women's shelters, and who could reasonably expect that they, or officers or employees in the lobbying division, or their spouses or domestic partners and unemancipated children could be placed at risk if their home addresses, or the names and addresses of their spouses or domestic partners and unemancipated children, were made public. Fourth, there is good reason to protect the privacy of spouses, domestic partners and unemancipated children of lobbyists and officers or employees in the lobbying division by prohibiting the campaign finance board from disclosing that any particular campaign contributor is the spouse, domestic partner or unemancipated child of a lobbyist. Fifth, since the New York Temporary State Commission on Lobbying ("Temporary Commission") would be phased out of existence if the Public Employees Ethics Reform Act of 2007 is enacted, the Lobbying Law's references to the Temporary Commission now include references to its possible successor organization. Accordingly, this law would amend the City's Lobbying Law to: (i) require the lobbyist to disclose the name and home address of his or her unemancipated child within 48 hours after a campaign contribution is made in the unemancipated child's name; (ii) require the lobbyist to disclose his or her home and business addresses and business telephone number, and the home and business addresses of his or her spouse or domestic partner; (iii) require the Clerk to keep all home addresses and the business address of the lobbyist's spouse or domestic partner confidential and not subject to public inspection; (iv) prohibit the campaign finance board from disclosing that any particular campaign contributor is the spouse, domestic partner or unemancipated child of a lobbyist or of an officer or employee in the lobbying division; and (v) include appropriate references to the possible successor to the Temporary Commission. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 11. This local law shall take effect immediately and shall be retroactive to, and deemed to have been in full force and effect on and after, December 10, 2006, except that section seven of this local law shall take effect on June 13, 2007.

No. 561-A By Council Member James, the Speaker (Council Member Quinn) and Council Members Brewer, Dilan, Comrie, Fidler, Gentile, Gonzalez, Koppell, Mark-Viverito, Martinez, McMahon, Nelson, Palma, Recchia Jr., Weprin, Liu, Avella, Mendez, White Jr., Garodnick, Jackson, Arroyo, Felder, Gennaro, Sears, DeBlasio and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to an alternative enforcement program by the department of housing preservation and development for violations of the housing maintenance code and multiple dwelling law. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative intent. The traditional methods by which governmental agencies enforce housing maintenance standards within New York city have not always yielded the results intended. These techniques, usually litigation or repairs made by a contractor acting on behalf of a city agency, do not always result in reaching the core of the physical problems in distressed buildings. The program set forth in this legislation is intended to alleviate the serious physical deterioration of those buildings by forcing the owner to make effective repairs or have city government do so in a more comprehensive fashion so that emergency conditions are alleviated and the underlying physical conditions related to housing code violations are addressed. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 5. This local law, other than the provisions of section four, shall take effect one hundred fifty days after its enactment, provided, however, that the commissioner of housing preservation and development shall take all actions necessary to implement this local law, including the promulgation of rules and the identification of buildings, on or before such date. The provisions of section four of this local law shall take effect two years after its enactment.

NYC L.L. 2007/037 In relation to illegal conversions of manufacturing or industrial space to residential use

L.L. 2007/037 Enactment date: 8/2/2007 Int. No. 34-A By Council Members Reyna, Addabbo Jr., Comrie, Fidler, Martinez, Nelson, Recchia Jr., Sanders Jr., Stewart, Vann, White Jr., Yassky, Mendez, Jackson, Dickens, DeBlasio, Gentile, Liu, Sears, Vallone Jr., Weprin, Gallagher and Oddo A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to illegal conversions of manufacturing or industrial space to residential use. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Statement of legislative findings and intent. The alteration or modification of existing buildings designated for industrial or manufacturing uses to create illegal housing units is increasingly occurring throughout the City. Such modifications sometimes occur due to ignorance of the law but are often blatant efforts to thwart the law. The illegal conversion of buildings designated for industrial or manufacturing uses for the purpose of residential occupancy reduces the availability of valuable space from the City's remaining inventory of buildings designated for industrial or manufacturing uses. These illegal conversions result in increased costs for the leasing of space for industrial or manufacturing uses and increases the risk of further displacement of jobs in this sector, a crucial component of the City's economy. This legislation will empower our code enforcement officials and allow the issuance of multiple violations by assessing a penalty per residential unit in illegally converted buildings and increasing the penalties for violations. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 7. Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 of this local law shall take effect ninety days after they shall have been enacted into law except that the amendment of sections 26-126, 26-126.1 and 27-118.1 of the administrative code pursuant to sections 2, 3 and 4 of this local law shall not affect the repeal of such sections 26-126, 26-126.1 and 27-118.1 pursuant to sections 2 and 7 of a local law of the city of New York for the year 2007 amending the New York city charter and the administrative code of the city of New York relating to the enactment of the New York city construction codes as proposed in Int. No. 587-A. Sections 5 and 6 of this local law shall take effect on July 1, 2008.

L.L. 2007/038 Enactment date: 8/2/2007 Int. No. 550-A By Council Member Garodnick, Brewer, Gennaro, Gentile, Gonzalez, Jackson, James, Koppell, Nelson, Vann, Weprin, White Jr., Seabrook, Mark-Viverito, Vacca, Martinez, Arroyo, Dickens, Lappin, Avella, Gerson, Liu, Sears, Gallagher and Oddo A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to inspection cycles for exterior walls.

Section one of this local law shall take effect immediately, except that the amendment of subdivision a of section 27-129 of the administrative code pursuant to section 1 of this local law shall not affect the repeal of section 27-129 of the administrative code pursuant to section 7 of a local law of the city of New York for the year 2007 amending the New York city charter and the administrative code of the city of New York relating to the enactment of the New York city construction codes as proposed in Int.

NYC L.L. 2007/039 In relation to the possession and sale of graffiti instruments

L.L. 2007/039 Enactment date: 8/2/2007 Int. No. 576-A By Council Members Vallone Jr., Fidler, James, McMahon, Nelson, Recchia Jr., Sears, Weprin, White Jr., Gennaro, Jackson, Liu, Gallagher and Oddo A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the possession and sale of graffiti instruments. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The Council hereby declares that graffiti is a public nuisance that degrades the quality of life in neighborhoods and communities across the City. Graffiti creates an atmosphere of neglect, inviting criminal activity and contributing to a feeling of disorderliness and fear. The Council finds that 18-, 19-, and 20-year olds are disproportionately responsible for graffiti crime. Accordingly, prohibiting the sale to, and restricting the possession of, graffiti tools to persons under the age of 21 will greatly assist the City's anti-graffiti efforts. Requiring that graffiti materials be contained in a manufacturer-sealed package or completely enclosed in a locked container, which shall include bags, backpacks, briefcases and other containers that can be closed and secured with a key or a combination lock, allows persons between the ages of 18-20 to transport such materials to or from places where they may legally be used such as their school or at work, while making it difficult for these items to be used on the property of another. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 6. This local law shall take effect 60 days after its enactment.

(a) By Local Law No. 92 for the year 1997, the council of the city of New York authorized an application for the designation of the Brooklyn Navy Yard/North Brooklyn economic development zone relative to certain land within the borough of Brooklyn. (b) The city of New York received approval from New York state of that economic development zone designation. (c) Pursuant to section 15 of part GG of chapter 63 of the laws of 2000, the Brooklyn Navy Yard/North Brooklyn economic development zone is now known as the Brooklyn Navy Yard/North Brooklyn empire zone. (d) Pursuant to subdivision d of section 957 of the General Municipal Law, certain empire zones referred to as "investment zones", including the Brooklyn Navy Yard/North Brooklyn empire zone, had to be configured into up to three distinct and separate contiguous areas. Pursuant to subdivision a-3 of section 960 of the General Municipal Law, the initial distinct and separate contiguous areas had to be approved by the empire zones designation board. An application for redesignation of such areas as an empire zone had to be submitted in accordance with section 961 of the General Municipal Law. (e) The Brooklyn Navy Yard/North Brooklyn empire zone was configured into three distinct and separate contiguous areas. Accordingly, the city of New York was authorized to submit an application for redesignation of such areas within the borough of Brooklyn as the Brooklyn Navy Yard/North Brooklyn empire zone. Such areas were described by block and lot in subdivision e of section 22-713 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as added by section eighteen of Local Law No. 45 for the year 2006. (f) By Local Law No. 45 for the year 2006, which became effective on November 9, 2006, the council of the city of New York authorized an application for the redesignation of the Brooklyn Navy Yard/North Brooklyn empire zone consistent with that reconfiguration as described in subdivision e of section one of this local law, such application was submitted to the New York state commissioner of economic development for ultimate approval by the empire zones designation board and the city of New York received approval from New York state for that redesignation.

The city of New York is authorized to submit an application for a technical correction of the boundary description of the Brooklyn Navy Yard/North Brooklyn empire zone to include those parcels of land inadvertently omitted and shall be described by block and lot in and be added to subdivision e of section 22-713 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as added by section eighteen of Local Law No. 45 for the year 2006. Such application for this technical correction shall be submitted to the New York state commissioner of economic development for ultimate approval by the empire zones designation board. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect immediately and shall be deemed to have been in full force and effect on November 9, 2006.

NYC L.L. 2007/046 In relation to allowing schoolchildren to carry cellular phones to and from school

L.L. 2007/046 Enactment date: 9/10/2007 Int. No. 351-A By Council Members Fidler, Jackson, Weprin, Katz, Recchia Jr., Stewart, Yassky, Felder, Gentile, James, Gonzalez, Nelson, Vann, Dilan, Comrie, Dickens, Rivera, Addabbo Jr., Arroyo, Avella, Brewer, Foster, Gallagher, Garodnick, Gerson, Gennaro, Gioia, Lappin, Liu, Martinez, McMahon, Mendez, Sears, Vallone Jr., White Jr., Barron, Palma, de Blasio, Eugene and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to allowing schoolchildren to carry cellular phones to and from school. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative intent. Cellular phones have proven to be invaluable tools in facilitating communication between schoolchildren and their parents or guardians as such children travel to and from school. The use of such phones allows parents or guardians to ensure their children's safe arrival at school in the morning and back at home at the end of the school day, and enables any children traveling to or from school who become injured or lost, or who find themselves in a remote location or in other dangerous circumstances, to contact their parents or guardians or the police. In addition, such use provides parents and their children with significant peace of mind. It is therefore the Council's intent to allow schoolchildren to carry cellular phones with them to and from school for the purpose of being used outside of school to promote safety and the general welfare. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect ninety days after its enactment into law.

The New York State Department of Economic Development and the South Jamaica Zone Administrative Board have determined that the proposed expansion of the Bimmy LLC's manufacturing facility in Long Island City is projected to create 100 new jobs and is eligible for Empire Zones benefits as a regionally significant project under Section 957(d)(i) of the General Municipal Law. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3.
