"You cannot tell the story of New York without our small businesses. Yet, our City has long made it too hard for these same businesses to open their doors, and to keep them open. With today's executive order, we will bring that chapter to an end, instead delivering relief to businesses from the fines and fees that drive up their costs."
"Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed Executive Order 11 on Wednesday, directing agencies to inventory fines ranging from those for frozen dessert permits to those for forgotten inspections, and identify which could be reduced or eliminated. The order sets a 90-day deadline to flag fees that can be cut via rule-making, 180 days for penalties requiring legislative action, and a one-year timeline for a report on potential amnesty programs."
Zohran Mamdani signed Executive Order 11 directing seven city agencies to catalog every fee and penalty affecting small businesses, with a 45-day deadline to begin the inventory. The order requires agencies to identify fines that could be reduced or eliminated, sets a 90-day deadline to flag fees addressable via rule-making, 180 days for penalties needing legislative action, and one year for a report on potential amnesty programs. The inventory will cover fees from frozen dessert permits to charges for missed inspections. A coalition of chambers and industry groups praised the move and engaged with city officials on the initiative.
