Council Member Abreu inquires whether small businesses are more likely to need assignment compared to larger ones. DSNY officials confirm this observation and discuss the implications.
- Smaller businesses were more likely to receive assignments from the department
- Larger, more sophisticated businesses (e.g., CVS, McDonald's, Dunkin' Donuts) were less likely to need assignment
- DSNY agrees to provide more detailed data on the margin of difference between small and large businesses needing assignment
