Whenever any property is placed upon a public sidewalk or highway
by a court officer executing a dispossess warrant or similar process,
it shall be the responsibility of the petitioner in the proceeding
which resulted in the issuance of the dispossess warrant or similar
process to arrange for the removal and storage or other suitable disposition
of all such property. If such petitioner shall not immediately arrange
for the removal and storage or other suitable disposition of all such
property, he shall be guilty of a violation, as that term is defined
in the Penal Law, and liable to the punishment provided therein.
