Thanks, but I only see three-digit codes, not five. (such as PEN for Penal or VAT for Vehicle and Traffic)

Sorry, I should have explained.

NYCRR = New York City Rules & Regulations = New York City Administrative Code = ADC on that page. Since I can't get a direct link to the specific chapter, here are the section titles:

ADC - New York City Administrative Code(NEW)
Chapter 5 - SMOKE-FREE AIR ACT
17-501 - Short title.
17-502 - Definitions.
17-503 - Prohibition of smoking.
17-504 - Regulation of smoking in places of employment.
17-505 - Areas where smoking is not regulated by this chapter.
17-506 - Posting of signs; prohibition of ashtrays.
17-507 - Enforcement.
17-508 - Violations and penalties.
17-510 - Public education.
17-511 - Governmental agency cooperation.
17-512 - General provisions.
17-513 - Rules and reports.
17-513.1 - Effective dates for membership associations, owner operated bars and tobacco bars.
17-513.2 - Construction.

I thought the smoking ban was a state act. I know upstate you can't smoke in bars.

Local ordinance probably. Its a city-by-city law, at least as far as in bars goes. If you want the ban on smoking in public places, that might be by state statute.
