Bill > A00794

This bill requires the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) to create and maintain a public online database of residential units that have been vacant for at least 180 days. The database must include specific details about each vacant unit, such as the month and year it was last occupied, the projected date for completing any necessary repairs, and an estimated date when the unit will become available for occupancy. The database must be published on the authority's website and updated quarterly, which aims to increase transparency and provide the public with comprehensive information about vacant public housing units. By mandating this level of detailed tracking and public disclosure, the bill seeks to shed light on the management of vacant residential units and potentially accelerate the process of returning these units to habitable status, which could help address housing availability challenges in New York City.
