BILL NUMBER:S455
Title of bill
An act to amend the emergency tenant protection act of nineteen seventy-four, the emergency housing rent control law and the New York city charter, in relation to investigations and inspections by the city of New York
Purpose or general idea of bill
To strengthen enforcement of rent laws.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 amends the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974 § 12, adding a new paragraph 9, authorizing the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development to enforce portions of the Rent Stabilization law under an agreement with the State Division of Housing and Community Renewal.
Section 2 amends the Emergency Rent Control Laws of 1946 § 6 (1), adding a new paragraph authorizing the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development to enforce portions of the Rent Control law under an agreement with the State Division of Housing and Community Renewal.
Section 3 amends the New York City Charter § 1802, adding a new subdivision 7, authorizing the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development to enter into an agreement with the State Division of Housing and Community Renewal to enforce Rent Control and Rent Stabilization.
Justification
The New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal lacks the resources to effectively enforce many provisions of the rent laws and regulations in New York City. This bill would authorize the City of New York to enforce these provisions if the City and DHCR agree.
