New rules in New York City now mandate that marshals post eviction notices online within 24 hours of serving them to tenants. The Department of Investigation (DOI) is enforcing this state law, as earlier investigations revealed significant noncompliance among marshals. Previously, some marshals posted notices just before tenant removals, leading to confusion. New York State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal emphasized the law's goal of ensuring clear communication to tenants. In 2024, marshals enacted 16,813 evictions, raising concerns for tenant rights post-pandemic.
Unfortunately, as City Limits found in their reporting, there has been inconsistent compliance with this law.
The DOI's Marshals Bureau oversees city marshals, with the ability to investigate and discipline those who don't follow state law.
