Now almost everyone is confused.

Unfortunately this article doesn’t explain any background to a new ‘banning’ policy in New York City — why it was implemented or what factors prompted it:

As of May 1, tenants who live in New York City Housing Authority buildings are barred from owning pit bulls, Rottweilers and Doberman pinschers. In addition, the new policy bans any dog that weighs more than 25 pounds.

NYCHA residents who already have dogs can keep them — as long as they weigh under 40 pounds, which was the previous weight limit.

In addition, all current owners now have to register their dogs with NYCHA management.
