Sponsor's memo

Title of bill

An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to notification to occupants of multiple family dwellings of pending commercial application of pesticide

Purpose or general idea of bill

The purpose of this bill is to ensure that occupants of a multiple family dwelling shall be properly notified prior to the commercial lawn application of a pesticide. Currently, the law requires notification for abutting properties but is silent on required notification for occupants of the property itself.

Summary of specific provisions

Section 1 of this bill amends subparagraph (i) of paragraph (b) of subdivision 1 of section 33-1004 of the environmental conservation law, adding language that requires written and posted notice to the occupants of a multiple family dwelling at least 48 hours prior to any commercial lawn application of a pesticide. Section 2 adds the premises receiving the application to the list of those properties that must receive such notification.

Justification

The state's pesticide notification law allowed for counties to opt-in to the provisions requiring notification to abutting property owners', however the law was silent regarding notification for the occupants of the subject property. Multiple family dwellings include tenants who may not know the property owners plans to have a pesticide application,; extending the notice provisions ensures that all potentially affected by the application of pesticides are aware of the pending application.
