"Council Member Oswald Feliz has recognized the pressing struggles of small businesses facing fines between $100 and $2,000, proposing a shift towards education rather than immediate penalties."
"The critical component of the proposed legislation focuses on regulatory compliance education, allowing business owners to understand city codes prior to enforcement, ultimately easing their financial burdens."
"Feliz highlighted that many small business owners are often unaware of existing regulations, suggesting that an educational approach could prevent the costly penalties they currently face."
"This data-driven initiative aims to map fines across neighborhoods, providing insights into enforcement patterns that could help shape more equitable policies for small businesses."
