                                    February 2, 2017
                                       ___________
 
        Introduced  by  M.  of  A.  BLAKE,  CRESPO,  FARRELL, HYNDMAN, PICHARDO,
          MOSLEY, COOK, RICHARDSON, WALKER -- read  once  and  referred  to  the
          Committee on Housing
 
        AN  ACT  to amend the private housing finance law, in relation to estab-
          lishing an electronic automated system for  applications  and  waiting
          lists,  and to develop a written procedure for applicant selection and
          rejection
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Section 31 of the private housing finance law is amended by
     2  adding three new subdivisions 13, 14 and 15 to read as follows:
     3    13.  The  commissioner  or  supervising agency shall develop a written
     4  procedure with regard to how applications for admission to a company are
     5  processed and numbered, and how tenants  are  selected.  Such  procedure
     6  shall  be  implemented and followed by all limited-profit housing compa-
     7  nies subject to the provisions of this article; provided, however,  that
     8  any  limited-profit  housing  company may elect additional procedures so
     9  long as such procedures are not inconsistent with the procedures  devel-
    10  oped  by  the  commissioner or supervising agency and any other require-
    11  ments set forth in this article.
    12    14. The commissioner or supervising agency shall develop  a  procedure
    13  whereby  applicants  are  notified in the case that their application is
    14  rejected by a limited-profit housing company subject to  the  provisions
    15  of  this  article,  and  such  procedure shall also include the appeal's
    16  process available to the rejected applicant. The notification that shall
    17  be sent to the applicant shall be in written form, include  reasons  why
    18  the  applicant  was  rejected,  the appeal's process, and be sent to the
    19  applicant within sixty days after  the  limited-profit  housing  company
    20  decided to reject such applicant. Any limited-profit housing company may
    21  elect  additional  procedures  so long as such procedures are not incon-
    22  sistent with the procedures developed by the commissioner or supervising
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD00417-01-7
        A. 4504                             2
 
     1  agency and any  other  requirements  set  forth  in  this  article.  For
     2  purposes  of this subdivision, an applicant shall not be deemed rejected
     3  if their application is  still  active  on  the  limited-profit  housing
     4  company's waiting list and such waiting list is still open and accepting
     5  applications.
     6    15.  The  commissioner  or  the  supervising  agency shall develop and
     7  require the use of a publicly available electronic automated system  for
     8  limited-profit  housing companies to store, process, and maintain appli-
     9  cations and waiting lists. Waiting lists maintained by each such company
    10  shall use a method that protects any personally identifiable information
    11  of applicants from being publicly disclosed or accessible to the public.
    12  Such electronic automated system shall also include general  information
    13  about each company, including, but not limited to:  the name and address
    14  of  the  company; the management office and address; the number and size
    15  of all units in each building; and information on  the  status  of  each
    16  waiting  list,  including  whether the limited-profit housing company is
    17  currently accepting applications and how long  applicants  may  have  to
    18  wait.
    19    §  2.  This  act  shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall
    20  have become a law.
