Fliers on lampposts - for Pastoralia

dovid31

Sir, I once saw a sanitation car stop a woman who was about to put a flier up on a lamppost. I discovered, using the Internet, that posting fliers on lampposts, etc., is against law. You, in removing your fliers are exceptional, because many folks don't.


I direct your attention to:
New York City Administrative Code Sections 10-119, 10-121: Posting - Violation.
