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.

The provisions of section four of this local law shall take effect two years after its enactment.
