and upcoming construction in the 39th [View this email in your browser]( Dear Friend, - The Department of Sanitation (DSNY) will implement mandatory trash containerization for residential properties this Fall. To stay informed and [avoid potential penalties or fines]( make sure you understand the new rules! Attend a [virtual information session]( for details. - Starting November 12th, all properties with 1-9 residential units must use bins with a maximum capacity of 55 gallons and secure lids for trash disposal. - This rule also applies to special-use buildings receiving DSNY collection, such as City agencies, nonprofits, houses of worship, and professional offices in residential buildings. - To [order official NYC Bins]( which are priced lower than similar bins at retail stores, make your purchase by October 1st to ensure delivery before the November 12th deadline. - Additionally, beginning Spring 2025, DSNY will introduce containerization requirements for residential buildings with ten or more units, using different on-street and wheeled receptacles. My office will be sure to provide more information as soon as it becomes available. - Businesses are responsible for maintaining cleanliness around their properties,  including sidewalks, tree pits, grass strips, gutters, yards, and alleyways adjacent to their buildings. DSNY will begin [inspecting businesses and issuing fines]( for non-compliance with these cleaning requirements. Starting in December, businesses that repeatedly receive tickets for cleaning violations will face escalated fines, which could reach up to $500 on the third offense. - Our office is on the Ground Floor of 197 Bond Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217. To schedule an appointment, please contact our Constituent Services Director, Bryan Gross, at bgross@council.nyc.gov. Appointments are available from Monday to Thursday, 10 AM to 4 PM.
