There is a method of permitting them, it's just that the business did not pursue the hoop-jumping and form-filling paper trail because occupying public space in the pursuit of profit was more important than complying to local regulations.
- makomk 8y agoIf you read the article, there is no method of permitting them because the city didn't forsee their existence. There's literally no form she could fill in or hoop she could jump through that would make it possible to install them. They're not one of the uses of sidewalk space that New York City is familiar with, so she's screwed. (Naturally, they didn't tell her this until after a whole bunch had been installed.)
- Bjartr 8y agoThat's untrue, they can petition the law be changed. It's a harder hoop than just getting an existing permit, but to say there's literally no avenue forward is disingenuous.
