DOS Issues New Cease and Desist Zone in Parts of Brooklyn

On Wednesday, the Department of State adopted regulations establishing a new cease and desist zone covering parts of Brooklyn in areas within Community Board 17, including parts of East Flatbush and Farragut/Hyde Park. The zone will take effect on July 1, 2023, and expire on July 1, 2028. NYSAR submitted formal testimony opposing the measure. The regulation prohibits the solicitation of a real estate listing from any homeowner whose name appears on a Department of State-issued cease and desist list. Learn more.
