Bill > A03685

This bill modifies the administrative code of New York City to establish more specific timelines for re-inspection of dwellings with mold violations by the city's housing department. The bill changes the correction timeframes for different types of violations: non-hazardous violations now have 30 days to be corrected, hazardous violations have 15 days, and immediately hazardous violations have 7 days. Additionally, the bill mandates that the department must conduct a re-inspection within corresponding timeframes after a violation is reported or claimed to be corrected: 30 days for non-hazardous violations, 15 days for hazardous violations, and 7 days for immediately hazardous violations. The bill also reduces the maximum postponement period for correcting immediately hazardous violations from 14 to 7 days, and restricts postponement for violations that were originally issued during a reinspection of a previously uncorrected hazardous violation. These changes aim to more quickly address and verify the resolution of mold-related housing violations, potentially improving living conditions and housing safety for New York City residents.
