New York City is doing away with its surprise multi-agency inspection raids on nightlife venues in response to community complaints that date back to the 1990s and replacing them with an approach focused on communication with business owners, Mayor Eric Adams announced Thursday.
The “Multi-Agency Response to Community Hotspots” (MARCH) policy, which was launched under former Mayor Rudy Giulini in the 1990s, is being supplanted by an approach that the NYPD is calling “Coordinating a United Resolution with Establishments” (CURE).
