AI Summary
This bill amends the definition of "floor area" in the Multiple Dwelling Law. The key provisions are:
1) Any areas with floor-to-ceiling heights greater than 12 feet will be counted as multiple times (up to 5 times) when calculating floor area, depending on the height.
2) Space used for mechanical equipment exceeding 5% of the total floor area will be included in the floor area calculation.
3) Any open areas located under the dwelling(s) will be counted as part of the floor area, with the multiplier depending on the height.
4) Some areas like cellars, attics, and outdoor spaces will continue to be excluded from the floor area calculation.
The purpose of these changes is to modify how floor area is measured for multiple dwelling buildings, which can impact regulations and requirements related to those buildings.
