Bill > S03043

This bill requires New York City marshals to complete an electronic filing within 24 hours (specifically one business day) of serving an eviction notice, updating existing law about eviction notification procedures. The bill modifies section 749-a of the real property actions and proceedings law, replacing previous requirements about physical posting of eviction warrants with a new electronic filing mandate. The bill defines "electronic filing" by referencing section 21103-a of the New York City Civil Court Act and clarifies that a "business day" means any day except Saturday or Sunday. By mandating quick electronic documentation of eviction notices, the bill aims to create a more efficient and traceable process for tracking eviction services in New York City. The legislative change will take effect immediately but is subject to potential future repeal, which is a standard provision to allow for future legislative adjustments to the law.
