Bill > A00900

This bill amends the New York City administrative code to strengthen notification requirements for rental property owners regarding lead-based paint and lead-contaminated dust. Specifically, the bill requires property owners to provide current and prospective lessees with the most recent results of any lead investigation and details of all abatement measures taken when lead-based paint or lead-contaminated dust has been found in a dwelling unit. The notification must be made at key points such as lease signing, lease renewal, initial occupancy, or when an agreement to lease is made. This requirement aims to improve transparency and protect tenants by ensuring they are informed about potential lead hazards in their living space. Owners are also required to retain investigation reports for ten years and make them available to the city's department upon request. The law will go into effect 180 days after it is enacted, giving property owners time to adjust to the new notification requirements.
