No breed-specific legislation. NY Agriculture & Markets Law 123 is behavior-based and NYC Health Code 161.02 governs dangerous dogs by conduct, not breed.
NY Agriculture & Markets Law 123 regulates dangerous dogs based on behavior, not breed. NYC Health Code 161.02 similarly targets individual dogs declared dangerous after a hearing. NYCHA public housing previously had breed restrictions but revised its pet policy in 2022 to focus on weight and behavior. Private landlords and co-ops may still impose breed rules. Staten Island has no borough-specific breed ban.
