BILL NUMBER:S3853A

Title of bill

An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to providing an owner of a dwelling unit access to tax abatement applications submitted on behalf of the condominium

Purpose

To allow an owner of a dwelling unit to obtain a copy of a tax abatement application from the building in which his unit is located in cities with a population of one million or more.

Summary of provisions

Section 1 Amends subdivision 4 of § 467-a of the real property tax law to enable a copy of an application, with identifying information redacted, to be provided to the owner of the dwelling.

Section 2 Amends subdivision 8 of § 467-a of the real property tax law to enable owners of a dwelling unit to request a copy of any application filed on the property statements filed in connection with the tax abatement application.

Section 3 Effective date

Justification

Current law prohibits unit owners of buildings from examining abatement applications submitted by the managers of their own building. This situ- ation can cause difficulties in determining the cause of any inaccurate determinations regarding the issuance of tax abatements. This legis- lation would resolve this problem by allowing for examination of the original application by any named party on the application.

While this information is available on the New York City Department of Finance website there are circumstances where it is necessary to view an actual hard copy of the application, with privileged information redact- ed to fully comprehend the abatement request.

Fiscal implications

None.

Effective date

This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall have become a law.
