Abstract

Street vending has long been an important entry point to the local labor market for New York City’s immigrant communities. Thousands of New Yorkers build their livelihoods around servicing our tourist industries and provide fresh food to our communities. Recently New York City engaged in a series of reform efforts aimed at lifting barriers to accessing vendor permits and attempts to limit the criminalization of street vending in the City. This report evaluates the regulatory environment which street vendors face investigating the implementation of these reform efforts and the disparate impacts and costs of vending enforcement.
