How to petition a city agency

Petitioning asks an agency to begin rulemaking. It is different from commenting on an already-proposed rule, and different again from speaking at a public hearing on one.

CityScroll identified Office of the City Clerk from an explicit CityScroll–NYC Rules agency resolution.

This is the City's general rulemaking-petition guidance. CityScroll has not indexed a published petition procedure for Office of the City Clerk, so it does not name an exact destination here. That is missing evidence, not a finding that you cannot petition this body.

  1. Describe the rule you want adopted, amended, or repealed. Open the official petition form.
  2. Send the completed form to the responsible agency. Read the official guidance.
  3. The agency must reply within 60 days. See the authoritative NYC Rules requirement.
Drafting prompts

Use these prompts to prepare your own petition before opening the official form:

  • What rule should the agency adopt, amend, or repeal?
  • What problem would the requested change address?
  • What change are you requesting, and what evidence supports it?

CityScroll does not save, submit, or track a petition draft.

An official submission contact is not resolved here. Use the City's official agency-contact lookup.

What may happen: the agency declines and gives its reason, or proceeds and initiates CAPA rulemaking.

CityScroll does not submit or track petitions.
