Any lawsuits filed by NYC against companies for guerrilla sticker/poster marketing violations in the past 5 years 3. Total number of §10-119 violations issued by DSNY in the past 12-24 months (if available) 4. Any documented enforcement actions against startups or tech companies for street marketing campaigns 5.

Which databases you have access to 3. Your availability to start immediately 4. A brief description of how you’d approach this research Timeline: Need preliminary findings within 48-72 hours.
