Dear nycbroker-ga;
Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting
question. Surprisingly, several other people have also come here
recently concerned about what will become of them after they?ve
received a summons for urinating in public in New York. The Big Apple
must be cracking down on it.

At any rate, here?s what you?re after:
According to NYC press release # 03-24 which announced that the
Environmental Control Board had given the city the authority to double
the sanitation fines as of July 1, 2003, a violation of Sanitation
Code S 10, 16-118(6) [essentially a littering ordnance governing
(among other things) the improper disposal of ?noxious liquids? and
?other filthy matter? in public places] which once potentially
resulted in a $50 fine, was raised to a potential $100 fine.
NYC DEPARTMENT OF SANITATION PRESS RELEASE
http://www.nyc.gov/html/dos/html/pressrel/lpr0324.html
Here?s the statute if you?re interested:
?6. No swill, brine, offensive animal matter, noxious liquid, or other
filthy matter of any kind, shall be allowed by any person to fall upon
or run into any street, or public place, or be taken to or put
therein.?
§ 16-118 Littering prohibited.
