Political signs on private residential property on Staten Island are protected speech and permitted without a permit. NYC Zoning Resolution generally exempts temporary non-illuminated signs under 12 square feet in residential districts. Signs may not be placed on public property, street trees, light poles, or within the public right-of-way.
NYC Admin Code 10-119 prohibits posting handbills or signs on public property or utility poles with fines of 75-150 dollars per sign. Private property signs should be removed reasonably soon after the election. HOAs and co-op boards may impose additional private restrictions. Contact Staten Island at 311 for enforcement.
