No. 328-A\n\nBy Council Members Gennaro, Quinn, Clarke, Gerson, Gioia, Koppell, Liu, Lopez, Martinez, Nelson, Perkins, Sanders, Stewart, Vallone, Weprin, Moskowitz, Reyna, Foster, McMahon, Recchia, Monserrate, Gentile, Brewer, Yassky, Fidler, DeBlasio, Baez, James, the Speaker (Council Member Miller), Palma, Katz, Avella, Jackson, Sears, Rivera, Barron and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum)\n\nA Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to opting in to the State Neighbor Notification Law concerning the application of pesticides.\n\nBe it enacted by the Council as follows:\n\nSection 1. Legislative Findings. The Council finds that individuals and their personal property are, or can be, unwittingly exposed to pesticides applied on their neighbor's property. The Council further finds that pesticides may pose health and safety risks to people, particularly children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with infirmities. Such potential risks include short-term impacts, such as headaches, nausea, seizures and respiratory problems, and long-term impacts, such as neurological damage, hormone disruption, reproductive disorders and various cancers. The intent of this local law is to provide information to City residents about certain pesticide applications to which they may be exposed, so that they can take steps to minimize such exposure to themselves, their families, pets, backyard wildlife and property.\n\nAccordingly, this Council adopts the special notice requirements for commercial and residential applications of pesticides as set forth in Section 33-1004 of the New York Environmental Conservation Law. It is intended that this local law be read and applied consistently with that section and all other applicable provisions of the Environmental Conservation Law and regulations promulgated thereunder.\n\n* * *\n\n[Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A]\n\n* * *\n\n§ 3. Within twenty days after the enactment of this local law, the clerk of the city of New York shall forward one certified copy of this law to the New York state commissioner of environmental conservation and one to the New York state attorney general.\n\n§ 4. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or other portion of this local law is, for any reason, declared unconstitutional or invalid, in whole or in part, by any court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed severable, and such unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this law, which remaining portions shall continue in full force and effect.\n\n§ 5. This local law shall take effect on the first day of January after it shall have been enacted into law.","path":["New York City Administrative Code","2005"],"source_url":"https://files.amlegal.com/pdffiles/NewYorkCity/Admin/XML.zip","current_through":"Local Law 2026/135 (enacted August 31, 2026)","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-06T02:48:57Z","sha256":"e14adff6ab1d22a11b9c216c0c8eac23669c4f014c98b2ca9c5d08060a79bc9e","source_id":"us-nyc","stale":false,"prev":"us-nyc/n.y.c.-admin.-code-l.l.-2005-035","next":"us-nyc/n.y.c.-admin.-code-l.l.-2005-039"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
