NYC to Roll Out ‘Hall of Shame’ For Filthiest New Yorkers
This summer, amid an endless heat wave and a 25% annual surge in trash complaints, New York City is turning to rats for help • Full Story
The Sanitation Department is rolling out a new campaign urging New Yorkers to snitch on the filthiest residential and commercial property owners as well as tenants — and will throw the foulest offenders in a new, online “Hall of Shame.”
The Hall of Shame “is where we’ll be calling out those worst of the worst – property owners who put the businesses and residences around them at risk by allowing filthy conditions to fester,” officials said.
The goal is to first locate the scofflaws and then humiliate them into cleaning up their streets and sidewalks.
Trash pics can be sent through a newly created portal on the agency website.
Workers with the Enforcement and Cleaning Operations units will comb through the images and inspect the properties to determine which have broken the law, which requires building owners to clean their sidewalks and 18 inches into the street.
Offenders will be hit with fines up to $100 for residential properties and $500 for commercial. And the worst of the worst get inducted — showcasing their grimy photos and addresses.
