Privately Owned Public Spaces: What are the Rules?

"Even those privately owned public spaces that do not have curfews may still impose “reasonable” rules regarding behavior, however.

Brookfield Office Properties, the owner of Zuccotti Park, recently posted new rules against camping, lying on the ground or benches, and using sleeping bags, but up until now those rules have not been enforced.

Enforcement would fall to the building’s management company, Professor Kayden said, but if park users refuse to comply, the management may call on the Police Department for help, as it has in an effort to clean out the park."
