Citizen enforcers law should be expanded, not banned. Councilman Gennaro is wrong!

New York City Administrative Code allows citizens to issue noise summons. (Title 24: Environmental Protection and Utilities, Chapter 2 Noise Control, Subchapter 8: Enforcement ยง 24-261 Citizen’s complaint). Councilman James Gennaro wants to ban it.

The adjudication process needs to be clear. Rights of citizens to go against noise and other quality of life issues such as parking should not be banned, but expanded!
