Bill > S02348

This bill amends the Administrative Code of the City of New York to include the illegal conversion of dwelling units in the definition of harassment. Specifically, the bill adds two new subparagraphs to the definition of harassment - the illegal conversion of any existing facilities of a building, such as subdividing rooms or moving a building, in violation of any state or local law, and the occupancy or use of dwelling units in a class A multiple dwelling that would violate the Multiple Dwelling Law. The bill is intended to address issues of illegal conversions of dwelling units, which can have significant impacts on tenants and the character of residential neighborhoods.
