Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the public housing law and the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to establishing an on site superintendent or maintenance supervisor at city of New York Housing Authority facilities, including janitorial services to maintain workable locks on doors; and to repeal section 27-2056 of the administrative code of the city of New York, relating to the exemption to the housing authority under such code

AI Summary

This bill establishes new requirements for the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) regarding on-site supervision and maintenance. Specifically, the bill mandates that NYCHA facilities must have on-site superintendents or maintenance supervisors who are responsible for preserving the cleanliness and functionality of housing facilities. These supervisors must be U.S. citizens with no felony convictions and will be appointed in accordance with civil service law. The bill also expands the definition of janitorial services to include maintaining workable locks on doors and requires janitors to take substantial steps to remedy heating issues and broken locks within 48 hours of being notified. Additionally, the bill repeals a previous section of the administrative code that provided an exemption for the housing authority. These changes aim to improve the maintenance and security of NYCHA facilities by ensuring more immediate and responsible on-site management and maintenance.
