AI Summary
This bill amends the Real Property Law to require landlords to install radiator covers in residential units where a child 12 years old or younger resides, upon the tenant's written request. The landlord has 90 days to complete the installation. If the landlord fails to do so, it is considered a breach of the warranty of habitability, and the tenant can deduct the reasonable cost of installing the radiator cover from the rent. The bill also specifies how the court should determine the amount of damages in cases where the warranty of habitability is breached.
