Local Law Int 1219 establishes the East Harlem 125th Street Business Improvement District in Manhattan. The legislation creates a special assessment district along East 125th Street to fund cleaning, public safety, marketing, and streetscape enhancements. It authorizes a nonprofit district management association to levy assessments on commercial property owners within the district. The district boundaries extend along East 125th Street between First Avenue and Fifth Avenue. Funded services include sanitation, safety ambassadors, promotional events, capital repairs, and capital projects. Governance provisions detail board composition, assessment methodology, and reporting requirements. The law directs the Council to file the district plan with the city clerk upon adoption.
