OEM to coordinate and involve relevant city agencies - DEP, DOS, HPD, DOB, DOT. DPR, DDC, NYPD.

Enforcement mechanisms may include: Commissioner’s Orders, issuing violations, or other mechanisms which will compel owners to follow proper procedures. It is essential to track complaints, the findings and the City’s response.
4. We should have clear procedures and guidance for each type of complaint that we anticipate, (i.e., if we want owners to be responsible for wetting down side walks, what is the proper method, how many times per day, etc.)
