Commissioner Gross discusses potential insights and outcomes that could result from implementing Intro 1132. The bill's implementation could provide valuable data on regulatory enforcement and its impact on small businesses.
- The bill could provide insights into the incidence of inspections and the financial impact of regulatory enforcement
- It might reveal patterns in repeat instances of non-compliance, potentially highlighting misunderstandings or operational challenges faced by businesses
- The data could inform policy innovations and service adaptations to better support small businesses
- Specific issues like sanitation-related violations and inspection practices might be highlighted

If this bill is implemented, are there any regulations we think will come out of it?
0:38:49
For example, regulations that we're always hearing about when we're talking to small business owners.
Dynishal Gross

I think if this bill was implemented, we would have some insights into the incidence of inspection.
0:39:02
We would have more insight into the fiscal the financial impact of regulatory, enforcement by our city agency partners.
0:39:12
I think also I would love to have insights into, when they're because I think when there are repeat instances of noncompliance or citation for noncompliance, the assumption is that the business owner is a scofflaw.
0:39:28
Right?
0:39:30
I don't think that's usually the case.
0:39:32
Very often, there's misunderstanding at the base of it, or there's an operational challenge that may be standing between the business owner and compliance.
0:39:42
For example, understanding the hours of sidewalk inspection by their local sanitation depot or understanding what aspect of their sidewalk usage, right, is problematic, and could be cited by DOT.
0:39:57
So by by understanding both the the distribution of, regulation citywide, what types of businesses are being impacted, the financial impact on those businesses, and where there's repeated instances of citation, I think that could help to inform policy innovations and service, adaptations as well.
Oswald Feliz
0:40:20
Yeah.
0:40:21
Any specific issues, though, that we think will come come out of this?
0:40:24
For example, repeat violations.
0:40:25
When we speak with businesses, I'm sure d s and y related violations is something that we hear about a lot.
0:40:30
Also, you mentioned inspections.
0:40:31
Any specific inspections or any issue that we think will, I guess, we could foresee based on the conversations we've had with businesses?
Dynishal Gross
0:40:39
Well, I would say based on the experience of EO 2, we we worked with all of the regulatory agencies, and they were all able to identify some opportunities for improvement in their own scopes of work.
0:40:51
So I wouldn't, I wouldn't wanna guess about what the analysis would show.
0:40:58
I think they're I think they would be broad.
0:41:01
Okay.
0:41:01
And final question, and then I'll pause.
0:41:04
So this is one

of the first discussions we have on this, bill, the idea of analyzing different types of violations based on commercial corridors.
