City officials announced the launch of the “Debt Demolisher” program, which will waive interest on unpaid Environmental Control Board tickets in order to encourage payment of the original fines. The effort is intended to recover up to $25 million in outstanding ticket revenue.
The initiative arrives amid a buildup of millions of dollars in unpaid traffic and code‑violation fines across the city. By eliminating interest charges, officials aim to motivate ticket holders to settle their balances.
