Stop Illegal Advertising
Posting fliers, or any other signs around NYC is an easy and free means of advertising. Taping up signs for a missing pet or stapling a sign on a telephone pole pointing passersby in the direction of a garage sale is seemingly harmless but that legal line is fine.
The distinction of what is considered a well-tolerated sign and a quality-of-life issue is, however, debatable.
According to the Department of Sanitation, “It is illegal for any person to affix any handbill, poster, notice, sign, advertisement, sticker or other printed material upon any tree by any means.”
