By Council Members Dromm, Lander, Rose, Williams, Palma and Ulrich
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to restricting the operation of electronic sound devices on food vending vehicles from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
§1. Subdivision d of Section 24-237 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended to read as follows:
(d) No person shall operate or use or cause to be operated or used on any public right-of-way any electrically operated or electronic sound signal device (other than a safety device, such as but not limited to a car horn or back up signal, that is actually used for its intended purpose) attached to, on or in a motor vehicle, wagon or manually propelled cart from which food or any other items are sold or offered for sale after 9:00 p.m. and before 9:00 a.m., or when the vehicle is stopped, standing or parked. For the purposes of this subdivision the term "stopped" means the halting of a vehicle, whether occupied or not, except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with a police officer or other authorized enforcement officer or a traffic control sign or signal. The terms "standing" and "parked" shall be as defined in the vehicle and traffic law.
§2. This local law shall take effect immediately.
