Posting garage sale signs on Staten Island street poles, trees, traffic signs, or other public property is prohibited under NYC Admin Code 10-119 and is subject to 75 dollar per sign fines escalating to 150 dollars for repeat violations. Signs are allowed on your own private property only.
DSNY and the NYPD enforce anti-posting rules. Signs may not be affixed to street furniture, bus shelters, mailboxes, or utility poles. The name and address of the person whose sale is advertised is presumed responsible unless rebutted. Remove signs promptly after the sale. Contact Staten Island at 311 for enforcement.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
