That's indeed the case here! I always found the wording of it cute:

New York City Administrative Code, Title 10: Public Safety, § 10-108 Regulation of sound devices or apparatus

It is hereby declared that the use or operation of any radio device or apparatus or any device or apparatus for the amplification of sounds from any radio, phonograph or other sound-making or sound-producing device, or any device or apparatus for the reproduction or amplification of the human voice or other sounds, in front of or outside of any building, place or premises, or in or through any window, doorway or opening of such building, place or premises, ... is detrimental to the health, welfare and safety of the inhabitants of the city. ... It shall be unlawful for any person to use or operate any sound device or apparatus in, on, near or adjacent to any public street, park or place, for commercial and business advertising purpose.

Doesn't mean it doesn't happen ALL THE TIME in some parts of town.
