NEW YORK CITY - New York City is requiring coal-fired and wood stoves to cut their emissions by 75% and they must accomplish this no later than April 27th.
The requirement affects about 130 pizzerias across the city - and sparked outrage when first introduced last year.
FOX 5 NY spoke with Adem Brija from the original Patsy’s location on 1st Avenue off 177th Street, here since 1933. Brija said it will be a significant cost.
"I’ve seen a big range, but I’ve seen it for no less than $20,000 - as high as $100,000 and a system like this will have to be maintained," Brija said.
The NRDC supported the change, saying on their blog:
"Uncontrolled cook stoves, like wood- and coal-burning pizza ovens, discharge particulate emissions and noxious odors, affecting thousands of residents in the nation’s most densely populated city, where apartment windows are often located just yards away from restaurant exhausts."
Brija agreed it should be done, but is asking the city to provide financial incentives like other climate-minded tax breaks of subsidies to help pizzerias - especially smaller ones who might not be able to afford the new system.
As for the bottom line, Brija, who served on the local community board, said making the air cleaner is good for everyone.

Tacos ovens exempt...
sounds like a perfect class action suit.
“Get um up and Shut Down”! Every business in the Big Rotton apple should get the hell out while the getting is good. Soon it will be un inhabitable.
Lived in Texas where
a 12 hour smoke on a
brisket is to die for...
The key word in the above statement is …. “Uncontrolled”
U.S. Constitution
Article 1. The Congress shall construct a thermostat to control the temperature of planet earth.
Article 2. Every hour, the Congress shall adjust that thermostat.
All intelligent people will get the hell away from Democrats and their “paradises”. I like the smell of cooking food, with particulates, and smoke.
You are welcome to live in your sterile crime enabled “Earth friendly” Shiite hole.
I’ll enjoy my wood fired barbecue.
The California leftists demanding control over the planet temperature . . .
In the late evening, they are down at the beach, surrounding fire pits, watching the stars.
So now pizzerias are evil, and must be regulated.
The modern left is comprised of two types of people. Those who know they’re fascists, and those who don’t know they’re fascists.
No matter. The result is the same. Issue edict after edict. Squeeze every bit of freedom out of the country. For the “common good”, of course.
Certainly they will have to shut down Burning Man next for the sake Da Erf, no?
The gov. of NM, not long ago, ordered a halt on residents collecting firewood from some forests.
The residents being, people who voted for her. She learned.
Reversed her command.

Couldn’t agree with you more! I love my Traeger, the only drawback is an impatient dog.
MOVE AWAY, NOW! Let them eat cake!
“Getting rid of commies also makes the air cleaner.”
Think of all the CO2 we can reduce!
““Get um up and Shut Down”! Every business in the Big Rotton apple should get the hell out while the getting is good. Soon it will be un inhabitable.”
Why don’t they go after the big popular restaurants first? Always the little guy gets stomped on by government while the politically connected restaurants get exemptions.
If this was a tv show, they’d be calling uncle Luigi.
The maliferous oder of cooking food have been sending humanity into nausea induced fits of vommiting on the public streets. It explains the human trash littering the streets of blue cities. Meat on the barbecue, cookies in the oven, the foul smell of marinated chicken in an Indian tandoor, revolting. Cooks and chefs professional or domestic need to be jailed for these crims.
The Bee cannot compete with the deranged behavior of our current political class. Imagined insanity, lie current AI, cannot compete with the actual lunatic behavior of psychopaths in positions of power.
What about Chinese food restaurants?
How can they use their woks on an electric stove top?
