Explaining the Code – HMC § 27-2022

Under HMC § 27-2022, multiple dwellings that do not provide continuous dumbwaiter service must post a Garbage Collection Notice in a conspicuous place. The sign must indicate the designated garbage and recycling pickup days to ensure proper waste disposal and sanitation compliance.

This law was created to improve public health, building hygiene, and waste management efficiency. By posting this notice, owners help tenants avoid confusion about collection times, minimize trash buildup, and prevent violations from NYC sanitation inspectors.

Failure to display the Garbage Collection Sign may result in HPD violations, fines, and sanitation penalties, as well as tenant complaints. By posting this required notice, landlords and property managers not only meet city code but also promote a cleaner, safer, and healthier living environment.
