Removal of dog waste.
Status: Committee Committee on Sanitation and Solid Waste Management
Sponsored by Justin E. Sanchez
Introduced: May 14, 2026

This bill would establish procedures for the Department of Sanitation (DSNY) once it receives at least 3 complaints of dog waste on the same city block within 7 days. DSNY would be required to either remove the waste on that block or inform property owners of their obligation to remove the waste and issue violations to those who do not remove the waste.
