Great point!

“While 6 RCNY § 5-42(b)(1) purports to prevent and/or deter price gouging during an emergency declaration, the Defendants have not and continue not to publish maximum prices.”

“Defendants outrageously high fines and penalties serve no public benefit to New Yorkers, when well-intentioned store owners are not given notice of the maximum price limits.”

Wow! No terms of violation for what the gouging limit even IS.
New York is rife with some a-hole trying to steal more money from anyone with false claims of ‘breaking the law”.

They should really get their stuff* together before they bankrupt more businesses, and further destroy the economy.

Thanks for NOTHING New York.
