The city has received 1,000 complaints and issued 550 violations totaling $275,000 for price gouging on coronavirus-related supplies like hand sanitizer, face masks and disinfectant wipes since March 5.

“Now is the time for us to come together, not take advantage of each other for a profit, but we continue to hear about and see empty shelves and price gouging,” said Dept. of Consumer Affairs Commissioner Lorelei Salas.

On Monday Mayor Bill de Blasio added several more items to the list of supplies that cannot be sold for more than 10% of their regular value. Fines are $500 per service item.

The additions include thermometers, latex gloves, fever reducers, cough suppressant, zinc oxide supplements, paper towels, toilet paper and facial tissue. Rubbing alcohol and aloe vera, which can be combined to create hand sanitizer, are also covered.

Last week The Post reported that a Garment District hardware store was selling 1200 ml bottles of Purell for $79.

The price gouging rules are in effect for the next 60 days and can be extended.

Victims of price gouging should keep their receipts and file a complaint by visiting nyc.gov/dcwp or contacting 311. Inspectors with the Dept. of Consumer Affairs are also visiting stores.

To escape or mitigate fines, businesses can provide proof if they paid a comparable increase to suppliers — or attend a hearing where a city judge determines the final penalty amount, according to DCA spokeswoman Melissa Barosy.
