Queens City Councilwoman Lynn Schulman appeared on “Mornings On 1” Tuesday to delve into the recent legislation she championed, which went into effect this week.
Passed by the City Council in June, the law holds commercial landlords accountable for their tenants' illegal sale of marijuana, cigarettes and vaping products.
First violations trigger written warnings, and subsequent offenses result in fines ranging from $5,000 to $10,000.
The law also requires quarterly enforcement reports be made available to the mayor and council speaker.
