Legislation recently introduced by Councilwoman Joann Ariola is being reworked to include a new system of fines and penalties for owners of abandoned boats, she told The Post Friday.

Hundreds of the vessels – including many left behind nearly a decade ago during Hurricane Sandy – are currently polluting the city’s 520 miles of shorelines, according to officials.
