§ 2-67 Temporary Interruptions of Newsstand Operation.

RCNY § 2-67

If a capital project set to start within six months or a legally permitted but temporary sidewalk obstruction due to construction, demolition and/or similar activities substantially affects the conditions around the newsstand so that such conditions cause or will cause the newsstand to no longer comply with the siting criteria in 6 RCNY § 2-65 or otherwise pose a threat to the free use of the sidewalk by pedestrians, the Commissioner may, upon notice and an opportunity to be heard, temporarily suspend a newsstand's operation until the obstruction is removed. In such cases, the operator may apply to DCWP for a temporary relocation of the newsstand pursuant to the procedures specified in subdivision (d) of 6 RCNY § 2-68.
