BILL NUMBER:S3114B
Title of bill
An act to amend the public housing law, in relation to the use of areas in housing authority developments for tenant meetings
Summary of specific provisions
This bill would allow tenants, of public housing authority projects, desiring to conduct a meeting pursuant to section two hundred thirty of the real property law to have the use, without having to pay a fee, of any location owned by the authority and set aside as an area of common use for all tenants, including any community or social room where use is normally subject to a fee, providing the meeting is peacefully conducted, during reasonable hours, does not obstruct any access, and the meeting space is reserved three days in advance.
Justification
This legislation would give tenants of housing authority projects the opportunity to plan and schedule meetings within their specific complex without having to rent an authorized meeting space. Groups, or committees, that, due to the inability to pay for a community or social room where use is usually subject to a fee, would be forced to meet in apartments or open areas in possible violation of building codes, would be guaranteed free use of a bonafide meeting place. This legislation would also protect the housing authority complex by requiring the authority governing the complex by giving three days notice of the desired meeting which must be conducted in a peaceful manner, during reasonable hours, and without obstruction of any access to the premises or facilities.
