Introduction 1001-B, known as Local Law 107 of 2023, prohibits owners of commercial spaces from knowingly leasing to unlicensed sellers of marijuana or tobacco products, imposing fines of up to $10,000 on landlords for violations.
The legislation followed a Council oversight hearing on the growing problem of unlicensed smoke shops across the city.
Meanwhile, there were more multi-agency raids on Friday... local targets included, again, LA Convenience (formerly LES Convenience) at 105 Avenue A between Sixth Street and Seventh Street... (photos by Stacie Joy)...
... and the Saint Marks Convenience & Smoke Shop, 103 St. Mark's Place between Avenue A and First Avenue... (photos by Steven)...
Both shops have been targeted in the past, and they both are always able to reopen... not sure how any business can continue to sustain the raids, confiscations, legal fees, etc.

They keep most of their product off site, owners are not linked to leaseholder, and they make tons of cash. That's how. They're a mess. I think the landlord law will help.
It's amazing that one particular Pot Shop would be closed more than once when there are 100s all over the city in plain view. Profiling?
