Under Mayor Eric Adams, the Department of Environmental Protection announced that the new regulations will take effect April 27.

Approximately 130 businesses in the city will be affected by the new rule, with many expressing opposition.

Some concerned citizens have also questioned why pizza ovens were being targeted instead of diesel trucks, calling it a burden for small businesses.
