Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the public housing law, in relation to the New York city housing authority and mold remediation

AI Summary

This bill amends the New York Public Housing Law by adding a new requirement for the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) regarding mold remediation in public housing units. Specifically, when a tenant reports mold in their dwelling unit, the housing authority must now remediate the mold within 15 days of the report. Following the mold removal, the authority is required to conduct an inspection of the dwelling unit within 60 days to confirm that the mold has been completely removed. This legislation aims to improve living conditions and address health concerns related to mold in public housing by establishing clear timelines for response and verification of mold remediation. The bill will go into effect 90 days after it becomes law, providing the housing authority time to prepare for implementing these new requirements.
