Bill > A07434

This bill relates to wages and supplements for building service employees employed at certain properties held in the cooperative or condominium form of ownership receiving a tax abatement. The key provisions are: 1. The bill amends the definition of "applicant" to include the unit owner or shareholder of the cooperative or condominium property for the limited purpose of verifying the primary residence. 2. The bill defines "prevailing wage," "qualified property," and "building service employee" for the purposes of the bill. 3. The bill restricts tax abatements to only "qualified properties" and requires building service employees at these properties to be paid the prevailing wage. 4. The bill makes affidavits certifying the payment of prevailing wages to building service workers a public record that can be produced in court or administrative proceedings. 5. The bill grants the fiscal officer (the New York City Comptroller) the power to investigate and determine any wages owed to building service employees.
