NYC to enforce circular law
August 4, 2008
New York Times: New York City has started enforcing a state law that prohibits the placement of "unsolicited papers, fliers, pamphlets, handbills, circulars or other materials advertising a business or soliciting business" at homes if the property owner has posted a sign saying such materials are not wanted. Violators can face fines ranging from $250 for a first offense to $1,000 for repeat violations.
Advertising circulars are a popular way for restaurants to advertise their menus.
