Expanding business licensing and regulatory compliance of all mobile food and general vendors.

Introduction

This bill would expand the number of licenses that are available to vend food and merchandise on the sidewalks of New York City. It would make 2,200 additional supervisory license applications available to prospective mobile food vendors annually from 2026 until 2031. This bill would also expand the number of general vendor licenses available to vend merchandise such that 10,500 new general vending licenses would be made available in 2027. This bill would expand street vendor training, increase the share of enforcement agents required to inspect street vendor setups, and increase civil penalties for violations of certain siting requirements. It would also allow license suspension and revocation for 3 violations of certain time, place and manner restrictions in a 1-year period. This bill would add a requirement that vendors keep the area around their cart free from garbage and maintain proof of proper trash disposal. This bill would expand the Street Vendor Advisory Board and require the board to examine and make recommendations pertaining to the new requirements.

Issuing licenses to mobile food and general vendors.

Introduction

Pursuant to Introduction 431-B, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) would make 2,200 supervisory license applications available to prospective mobile food vendors every year within a five-year period from 2026 through 2031, and the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) would make 10,500 general vending license applications available to prospective general vendors in 2027. However, not every license application released would result in a license issued, which means that there could be less licenses issued than are authorized. This bill would authorize DOHMH and DCWP to continue to issue more license applications until the licenses issued reaches the capped amount, provided there is a demand for it.

Introduction

Currently, the City has authority to sell tax liens through 2028 pursuant to methods authorized in the administrative code. This bill would amend the administrative code to authorize the City to sell tax liens to a New York city land bank through a negotiated sale, and would not provide an expiration date for such authority. Additionally, this bill would require the commissioner of finance to include in the terms and conditions of any sale of tax liens the term and condition that no purchaser of a tax lien may foreclose upon a lien on class one residential real property occupied by the owner as a primary resident until 1 year has passed after the date of sale and the value of the lien reaches the lesser amount of 15% of the property value or $70,000, as well as the term and condition that every purchaser shall regularly send bills of the amount due on the lien and other pertinent information to the property owner.

Transfer of tax liens to a land bank.

Introduction

This bill would require the commissioner of finance to require purchasers of tax liens to make best efforts to transfer such liens to the New York city land bank (land bank) upon certain triggering events. Lien purchasers would be required to make best efforts to transfer any liens held in a trust established earlier than 1999 (known as the “graveyard trust”) no later than six months after the establishment of the land bank, and to make best efforts to transfer any other liens after all debt obligations secured by such liens are satisfied. In the event that legal or financial obstacles would prevent the transfer of a lien, the purchasers would be required to report to the City the specific liens and relevant obstacles, and identify when such obstacles may no longer prevent the transfer of such liens in the future. Purchasers who identify liens prevented from transfer would be required to again make best efforts to transfer such liens to a land bank no later than two years after having first been required to attempt such transfer.

It would generally require the co-op to acknowledge receipt of application materials within 15 days, and provide notice of whether it has consented to the sale within 45 days after the application is complete, with extensions possible in some circumstances. This bill would require the Department of Housing Preservation and Development to issue violations for a co-op’s failure to meet these requirements, resulting in civil penalties of $1,000 for a first violation, $1,500 for a second violation, and $2,000 for third and subsequent violations.

Citywide percentage of rental units in projects receiving city financial assistance that must be affordable for extremely low-income and very low-income households.

Introduction

This bill would require that a minimum percentage of rental housing financed by the City are affordable to households with the least means to afford housing. Of the new affordable housing financed by the Department of Housing and Preservation Development, known as HPD, 50% would have to be affordable to extremely and very low-income households, with at least 30% of the total affordable to extremely low-income households. The bill includes several separate exemptions to these minimum percentages, based on either their programmatic requirements, site constraints, or their stage in the pre-development process. Although the bill would go into effect immediately, the requirements would not apply until July 1, 2027, so that affordable housing projects currently seeking financing can proceed with their applications. The legislation would also include an ability for HPD to suspend the targets if federal resources relied on to finance affordable housing are significantly decreased.

Until August 30, 2026, this bill would limit such rules so that they apply only to supplemental sanitation service providers that either receive City Council discretionary funds in Fiscal Year 2026 to purchase such receptacles, or if they do not receive such funding, submit an application to DSNY for the siting of a compliant receptacle by March 1, 2026.

This bill would prohibit high-volume for-hire vehicle services (“for-hire vehicle services”) from deactivating high-volume for-hire vehicle drivers (“drivers”), unless due to just cause, a bona fide economic reason, or if required to by law. For-hire vehicle services would be required to provide advance notice prior to deactivating a driver, except that they may immediately deactivate a driver in cases involving account sharing or fraud, or if the driver is alleged to have engaged in egregious misconduct such as violence, sexual harassment or assault, or discrimination. A driver may challenge their deactivation through an informal resolution process with the for-hire vehicle service, or request that the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection investigate the deactivation. If the department determines that the deactivation was wrongful, the driver would be entitled to remedies including reinstatement and back pay.
