NEW YORK \u2013 Councilmember Simcha Felder has introduced legislation that would extend free official city trash bins to owner-occupied three-family homes, a benefit currently available only to one- and two-family homes. The measure, Intro 0193, is co-sponsored by Justin Sanchez, who chairs the sanitation committee of the New York City Council.<\/p>\n

The proposal would require the city to provide the bins directly or reimburse homeowners who purchase them. Supporters say the bill closes a gap that has left many small homeowners paying out of pocket despite facing the same rules and tax burdens as smaller homes.<\/p>\n

\u201cOwner-occupied three-family homes are just like families in one- or two-family homes. They\u2019re taxed the same, they should be treated the same,\u201d Felder said. \u201cIf the city mandates new bins, it should provide them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sanchez called the bill a practical investment in homeowners and neighborhood cleanliness, saying it builds on policies designed to help families stay in their homes while easing costs.<\/p>\n

City data show that tens of thousands of owner-occupied three-family homes exist across New York City, with the largest concentrations in Brooklyn and Queens. Advocates say those properties play a critical role in providing affordable housing while allowing families to build wealth through homeownership.<\/p>\n
