NYC Self-Storage Rules 2026: Operator Preparation Checklist While Enforcement Is Paused (Court TRO to Dec 15, 2026)

NYC adopted Local Laws 162 & 171 of 2025 and DCWP rules (6 RCNY §§2-491–2-497) for self-storage facilities, scheduled from Nov 1, 2026. A court TRO (Judge Ralph Porzio, late Oct 2026) bars the City from enforcing the new pricing legislation until Dec 15, 2026. This note does not claim fines are being collected; it lists scheduled penalties (from $750) if enforcement resumes and a preparation checklist.
