@NYPD5Pct thank you officers of the 5th for keeping our streets and sidewalks safer by making this bus move after he blocked Mosco street completely, despite being asked politely to move. He completely blocked the block party in progress.

NYC Administrative Code – §10‑119: Posting
It is unlawful to affix any poster, sign, sticker, or other material on public or private property (e.g., storefronts, fences, trees, utility poles, sidewalks, walls) without the owner’s permission https://t.co/R1OqMqlniL.
There's a rebuttable presumption: if your name or contact info appears on the poster, you are assumed responsible
Penalties – §10‑121(a) and (b)

First offense: $100–$500 fine
Second and subsequent offenses (within 12 months): $500–$1,000 fine, plus removal costs
Each illegal poster counts as a separate violation
Enforcement Powers
The Department of Sanitation (DSNY) can issue subpoenas to identify violators and enforce removal American Legal Publishing

Fines are collected either by the criminal court or the Environmental Control Board (for civil cases)

@helen4ny You cannot put campaign posters on someone else’s private property unless you have their written permission.
If you do and you're identified as responsible, you will face a rebuttable presumption of guilt.
Fines begin at $100–$500 for the first poster, and go up to $500–$1,000 for repeat violations, plus the cost to remove them.
Each sign is a separate offense—having ten illegal posters could mean ten separate fines.
The Sanitation Department can compel information on who did it and enforce penalties.

Ron Thomas stands with our community in support of our proposal for affordable housing instead of a mega jail. He listened. He showed up. His opponent refused to even talk and misled the public about the plan. That’s bad politics.

Zohran Mamdani’s support for Asians is just as two-faced as his support for Jews. His anti-SHSAT position when Asians were fighting peak discrimination for admissions to NYC’s specialized high schools is akin to taking someone out at the knees.
