New York City's sheriff’s office says it has shuttered around 700 illegal stores since new state regulations passed in April .
The unsanctioned shops had become ubiquitous across the Big Apple, when the city's power to step in had been limited and the legal market was mired in red tape.
Around 100 shops have successfully defended themselves against fines since April , often by citing the sheriff's lack of evidence or faulty paperwork.
