Enactment date: 6/14/2007
Int. No. 561-A
By Council Member James, the Speaker (Council Member Quinn) and Council Members Brewer, Dilan, Comrie, Fidler, Gentile, Gonzalez, Koppell, Mark-Viverito, Martinez, McMahon, Nelson, Palma, Recchia Jr., Weprin, Liu, Avella, Mendez, White Jr., Garodnick, Jackson, Arroyo, Felder, Gennaro, Sears, DeBlasio and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum)
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to an alternative enforcement program by the department of housing preservation and development for violations of the housing maintenance code and multiple dwelling law.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Legislative intent. The traditional methods by which governmental agencies enforce housing maintenance standards within New York city have not always yielded the results intended. These techniques, usually litigation or repairs made by a contractor acting on behalf of a city agency, do not always result in reaching the core of the physical problems in distressed buildings. The program set forth in this legislation is intended to alleviate the serious physical deterioration of those buildings by forcing the owner to make effective repairs or have city government do so in a more comprehensive fashion so that emergency conditions are alleviated and the underlying physical conditions related to housing code violations are addressed.

This local law, other than the provisions of section four, shall take effect one hundred fifty days after its enactment, provided, however, that the commissioner of housing preservation and development shall take all actions necessary to implement this local law, including the promulgation of rules and the identification of buildings, on or before such date. The provisions of section four of this local law shall take effect two years after its enactment.

Int. No. 34-A
By Council Members Reyna, Addabbo Jr., Comrie, Fidler, Martinez, Nelson, Recchia Jr., Sanders Jr., Stewart, Vann, White Jr., Yassky, Mendez, Jackson, Dickens, DeBlasio, Gentile, Liu, Sears, Vallone Jr., Weprin, Gallagher and Oddo
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to illegal conversions of manufacturing or industrial space to residential use.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Statement of legislative findings and intent. The alteration or modification of existing buildings designated for industrial or manufacturing uses to create illegal housing units is increasingly occurring throughout the City. Such modifications sometimes occur due to ignorance of the law but are often blatant efforts to thwart the law. The illegal conversion of buildings designated for industrial or manufacturing uses for the purpose of residential occupancy reduces the availability of valuable space from the City's remaining inventory of buildings designated for industrial or manufacturing uses. These illegal conversions result in increased costs for the leasing of space for industrial or manufacturing uses and increases the risk of further displacement of jobs in this sector, a crucial component of the City's economy. This legislation will empower our code enforcement officials and allow the issuance of multiple violations by assessing a penalty per residential unit in illegally converted buildings and increasing the penalties for violations.
