        Introduced  by M. of A. TAPIA -- read once and referred to the Committee
          on Housing
 
        AN ACT to amend the multiple dwelling law, in relation to rent reduction
          in cases of submetered utility service
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  The  multiple  dwelling  law  is  amended by adding a new
     2  section 302-d to read as follows:
     3    § 302-d. Provisions relating to multiple dwellings  with  submetering.
     4  1.  Any tenant residing in a building which is subject to submetering of
     5  utilities shall receive a reduction in rent which is equal to the amount
     6  of the utility costs for which such tenant is  responsible,  where  such
     7  costs were previously included in such tenant's rent.
     8    2.  The division of housing and community renewal shall, within ninety
     9  days of the effective date of this  section,  review  the  standard  and
    10  actual  rent  reductions  for  submetered  properties  and shall require
    11  increases where the division determines necessary.  The  division  shall
    12  develop  a process for tenants to appeal their rent reduction if it does
    13  not accurately reflect the amount they are required to  pay  for  subme-
    14  tered utilities.
    15    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
