Unfortunately, this has been a dead issue in the City Council since 2018. Int 0456-2018 was the last piece of proposed legislation. Karen Koslowitz was a co-sponsor, let's get her involved again !!

OF ALL OF THE TIMES TO USE LEAFBLOWERS.....NOW!?!?!

RESPIRATORY DISTRESS AND HOME CONFINEMENT ??

I have three leaf blowers currently blowing in my neighbor‘s yard. We are now in the worst respiratory crisis in recent history. Can FHG please ban or ask residents to stop leaf blowers until the current crisis is over? It seems unconscionable and criminal to me to allow this.

Declaration 3 from the Forest Hills Gardens Corporation
(https://www.fhgc.org/governance/declaration-no-3/)

seems to prohibit “ ... any noxious, dangerous or offensive thing“

I’m not an attorney but think that the data I have read suggests that leaf blowers are certainly that.
