Reply to comment by down_up__left_right in Employers that have four or more employees in NYC are legally required to share salary ranges for job listings. by [deleted]

That doesn't answer OP's question.

For example, housing laws in NYC have many limits on security deposits and how leases are allowed to work, and yet that doesn't mean anything unless you are able to get a lawyer and go to housing court, or get very lucky and have a public/nonprofit agency back you.

You didn't specify the actual enforcement mechanism. For example, I really doubt that department going to find listings in their own and take the companies to court/fine them by themselves. They probably expect to have a lawyer work with them to prosecute these companies, and the lawyer coming from a class action or form a group of private citizens paying the lawyer.

Also there really isn't a profit motive for companies to try to cheat this. Internally HR departments already have the salary ranges for the jobs list so it's not like they're doing extra work to come up with that.

And now that everyone will be listing the salaries it's in a company's interest to list accurate numbers. A falsely low minimum and employees that have other options/are paid better at their current job don't even apply. A falsely high maximum and companies waste time doing interviews and giving offers to people that turn it down because they were expecting a much higher offer.
