Bill Summary

Relates to the definition of floor area and what is excluded in the measurement of floor area.

AI Summary

This bill amends the definition of "floor area" in the Multiple Dwelling Law of New York. It specifies that areas with taller floor-to-ceiling heights (over 12 feet) will be counted as more than one unit of floor area, with areas over 48 feet in height counted as five times the floor area. The bill also includes open areas underneath dwellings as part of the floor area calculation, with similar multipliers based on ceiling height. Additionally, the bill clarifies that space used for mechanical equipment exceeding 5% of the total floor area will be counted as part of the floor area.
