NEW YORK, NY January 16, 2008 —The city's most dangerous sex offenders would be barred from living within 1,000 feet of a school or park, under a new proposal from 3 City Council members.

Their plan could make it difficult for offenders to find housing in a city where residents are stacked in high-rise buildings and crowded neighborhoods.

Minority Leader James Oddo and council members James Vacca and Joseph Addabbo introduced the proposal last week.

It would affect only Level 3 offenders, considered to be at the highest risk of re-offending.
