Cuomo said the state has fielded thousands of complaints, particularly downstate.

\"The state itself has looked at over 5,000 establishments in downstate New York and found many cases of a failure to comply,\" Cuomo said in a statement. \"It's wrong, it's dangerous, it's selfish, it's unacceptable, it's also illegal.\"
\"I'll tell you what's less politically popular -- if we have to close down a region because compliance wasn't done,\" Cuomo continued.

As he considers a final decision on whether New York City will enter phase 4 of reopening on Monday, Cuomo promised even more crackdowns.
Bar and restaurant patrons in the city have enjoyed walk-up bar service at newly reopened spots, but as of Thursday Cuomo shut that down as well -- now only seated patrons can be served.
Diners can only be served alcohol if they order and eat food at bar tops that are socially distanced at least 6 feet apart or separated by physical barriers.

Cuomo is expected to announce a decision on New York City entering phase 4 by Friday.
Citizens who see violations or are concerned can report complaints with photos to the SLA at www.sla.ny.gov.
