This bill would require the owner of a multiple dwelling consisting of three or more floors to provide priority treatment, for the purposes of moving to a unit on a lower floor, to senior citizens and persons with disabilities which hinder or limit mobility. Qualifying residents will be given the right of first refusal over outside applicants seeking to move into the multiple dwelling and over other non-qualifying residents who are seeking to move to a lower floor. This bill also requires the owner of a multiple dwelling to post a sign that contains information regarding the priority status granted to qualifying residents seeking to move into a unit on a lower floor.

AI Summary

This bill requires the owners of multiple dwellings with three or more floors, excluding those held in a cooperative form of ownership, to grant priority status to senior citizens and persons with disabilities that hinder or limit their mobility when they are seeking to move to a unit with the same number of bedrooms on a lower floor. Qualifying residents will have the right of first refusal over other applicants and non-qualifying residents. The bill also requires the owner to post a sign providing information about this priority status. The requirements of the bill do not displace any existing affordability requirements, targeting requirements, or income restrictions for the multiple dwelling.
