New York City, including Staten Island, does not have a general juvenile curfew ordinance. A proposed curfew was repeatedly considered but never enacted citywide. Minors may be subject to targeted enforcement only under specific truancy laws or park curfews.
NY Education Law Section 3210 requires school attendance for compulsory-age children, and truancy may be addressed by DOE. The NYPD does not enforce a general nighttime curfew. Parents remain liable for reasonable supervision under NY Family Court Act. Contact Staten Island at 311 for enforcement. This juvenile curfew rule under Richmond County's curfew ordinances applies to unincorporated areas of Richmond County. For current statutory text, amendments, enforcement procedures, fines, appeal options, and any exemptions that may apply to your situation, contact Richmond County code enforcement directly or consult the official New York municipal code library. Ordinances change periodically; always verify with local staff before relying on summary information.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
