RCNY § 3-14
(a)Except as hereinafter provided, personal property shall not be stored on piers, docks or walkways. Personal property may be stored by a Permittee in a dock box no larger than 30 cubic feet and no higher than 30 inches located on a fixed pier. At the World's Fair Marina, personal property may also be stored in dock boxes on floating docks if permission is granted by the Dockmaster. The name of the Permittee must be clearly posted on the dock box. The dock box must be positioned so as not to obstruct the walkway or impede access to the Vessels. The location of the dock box shall be subject to the approval of the Dockmaster. No dock boxes shall be permitted on floating piers at the Boat Basin.
(b)Personal property left unattended on a pier in violation of this provision, including noncomplying dock boxes, shall be subject to removal by the Dockmaster. The Dockmaster shall give notice to the owner of the property prior to such removal if the identity of and an address for such person are reasonably ascertainable or to the Permittee of the Vessel docked in the slip adjacent to the place from which the property was removed. The cost of the removal and storage of such property shall be charged to the owner or Permittee and shall be payable prior to release of the property. Any personal property which is unclaimed after thirty days shall be deemed to be abandoned and shall be turned over to the police property clerk for disposal pursuant to law.
(c)It shall be unlawful to construct, reconstruct, alter, add to, extend or physically alter in any manner any slip, dock or pilings without the prior written approval of the Dockmaster. Permittees may utilize boarding steps approved by the Dockmatser.
(d)A Permittee must keep the dock adjacent to his or her Vessel, including the finger pier, free of refuse, rubbish and litter at all times. (Amended City Record 8/1/2019, eff. 8/31/2019)
