[Adopted 8-5-1969 as Ch. 4, Art. III, of the 1969 Code of Ordinances]
It is hereby determined following investigation and reports
by state, county and City authorities that the great increase in the
number of uncontrolled pigeons, which roost and make their nests on
the roofs and in the recesses of the various public and private buildings
and structures within the City, constitutes a menace to the public
health and is generally injurious to property within said City.
[Amended 4-2-2002]
For control purposes and in order to prevent public distress caused by the pigeon menace described in § 74-24, the Common Council of the City is hereby authorized to issue permits for the purpose of trapping pigeons within the City, in accordance with the provisions of § 11-0513 of the Environmental Conservation Law and any regulations established by the Common Council.
[Amended 4-2-2002]
A.
Generally. Any pigeon or pigeons found in any of the traps set up,
placed or permitted to be placed for trapping purposes shall, if the
same be fit for such purposes, be disposed of for food purposes within
the meaning of § 11-0513 of the Environmental Conservation
Law. All sick, injured or unfit pigeons found in the said traps shall
be placed in the care of the Common Council to be disposed of in the
manner provided by law.
B.
Antwerp or homing pigeons. Whenever any Antwerp or homing pigeon,
wearing a ring or seamless leg band with its registered number stamped
thereon, within the meaning of § 11-0513 of the Environmental
Conservation Law, is found among such trapped pigeons the same shall
be immediately released from custody.
