Summary
This bill would prohibit nighttime illumination of the exterior or interior of any building whose main use or dominant occupancy is classified in group B or M pursuant to the New York City building code.

Seasonal displays may be illuminated until midnight and storefront displays are permitted limited illumination until midnight.
