NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION

BILL NUMBER: A2287
 
SPONSOR: Rosenthal
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to including the illegal conversions of dwelling units in the definition of harassment   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To amend New York City administrative code to add illegal conversions of dwelling units in the definition of harassment.   SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends paragraph 48 of subdivision a of section 27-2004 of the administrative code for the city of New York by adding two new acts or subparagraphs b-5 and b-6 which define illegal conversion of any exist- ing facilities of any building, as subdivisions of rooms, erection or demolition of walls, or the moving of any building from one location or position to another. It also defined occupancy or use of dwelling units as a class A multiple dwelling that would violate subdivision 8 of section four of the multiple dwelling law that causes or is intended to cause any person to vacate a dwelling unit, to surrender or waive any rights in relation to such occupancy. Section 2 provides for the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: As the housing crisis continues to worsen in the city of New York, building owners and developers are using numerous tactics to harass tenants. It is vital that we support our tenants by labeling such acts as illegal conversion of dwellings a form of harassment.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2023-24: A.9233 - Advanced to Third Reading; S.2348 - Reported to Codes 2021-22: A.3387-A - Referred to Housing 2019-20: A.1849-A - Reported to Codes 2017-18: A.976 - Referred to Housing 2016: - Referred to Housing   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Undetermined   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall have become a law.
