Deputy Commissioner Goodman explains how DSNY determines enforcement locations for street vending:

  • Enforcement is largely complaint-driven
  • Complaints come through formal channels like 311
  • Informal complaints come from civic associations, community groups, other agencies, and city council members
  • The agency focuses on areas with the highest number of complaints or concerns raised by council members and community groups

It's largely complaint driven, but those complaints may come in formally through three eleven or informally from civic associations, community groups, other agencies, or members of the city council who frequently bring areas that they're concerned about to our attention.
