Codified at City Code Chapter 213 (Noise) §213-5(3): leaf blowers shall not be operated at all between June 1 and September 30. From October 1 to May 31, leaf blowers may be operated weekdays 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Saturdays 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., Sundays 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Most recent comprehensive amendment to Ch. 213 was Ordinance 234-1998 (adopted 1998-09-16); the leaf-blower-specific subsection has been carried forward unchanged in subsequent codifications.

Verified 2026-05-05. Staleness check 2026-05-05: an archived City CivicAlerts post (AID=2119, "Gas Leaf Blower Restrictions") recites "May 1 – September 30" instead of the codified June 1 – September 30. Investigated and rejected — eCode360 §213-5(3), the City's 2026 e-news, the Adopted Legislation archive, and a Larchmont Loop interview with Deputy Mayor Sara Kaye all confirm June 1 – September 30 is current. Most plausible cause is a typo or confused echo of NY S.00424 (statewide bill, May 1 – Sept 30, still in committee). No ordinance amendment to extend the start date to May 1 has been adopted.
