How are New York City laws different from New York State laws?
In NYC, the Department of Health administers dog laws. In many respects, the rules for NYC dogs and dog owners are substantially similar to NY state laws.
Important points
New York City law does not limit the number of dogs or pets permitted in each household but restrictions imposed by landlords, co-ops and condo boards are common.
All dogs over the age of three months must be vaccinated against rabies.
Dog owners must clean up after their dogs (scoop that poop!).
Dogs must be leashed in public, except while in designated off-leash areas or dog runs. Leashes cannot exceed six feet in length.
Nuisance noise: Under New York City's noise code --
No person having charge, care, custody, or control of any animal shall cause or
permit such animal to cause unreasonable noise including, but not limited
to, any sound that is plainly audible at any location within any residential
receiving property as set forth below: (a) At or after 7 a.m. and before 10
p.m., continuously for a period of 10 minutes or more; (b) At or after 10 p.m.
and before 7 a.m., continuously for a period of 5 minutes or more.
