A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to declaring nuisances related to the sale of synthetic drugs and imitation synthetic drugs

This bill would add violations of a proposed synthetic drug prohibition to the factors that allow the declaration of a public nuisance under the City’s Nuisance Abatement Law. It would allow a court, under the Nuisance Abatement Law, to issue restraining and closing orders against premises that repeatedly violate the proposed synthetic drug prohibition.
