Bill > S03704

This bill amends the New York labor law to exempt owners of one, two, or three-unit owner-occupied dwellings from paying the project notification fee typically required for asbestos removal. Currently, property owners must pay a fee when notifying authorities about an asbestos removal project, but under this proposed legislation, homeowners who live in small residential properties (1-3 units that they personally occupy) would be waived from paying this fee. The bill aims to reduce the financial burden on small residential property owners undertaking asbestos removal, which can be a necessary but costly home maintenance procedure. By waiving the notification fee for these specific homeowners, the legislation seeks to encourage safer asbestos removal practices by making the process more financially accessible for individuals owning and living in small residential properties.
