Bill > S04818

This bill amends the administrative code for New York City to modify regulations regarding curb repairs, specifically for one, two, or three-family homes. Under the new provisions, homeowners can request curb and curb cut repairs through NYC 311 or the city's official website, and the Department of Transportation is required to complete these repairs within 90 days. If the repairs are not completed within this timeframe, the homeowner is authorized to hire a licensed contractor to perform the repairs and receive a property tax credit for the reasonable cost of the work. The bill removes gendered language referring to the commissioner (changing "his or her" to "such commissioner's") and introduces a clear timeline and remedy for homeowners waiting on curb repair services. The legislation is designed to provide homeowners with a more responsive and accountable process for addressing curb maintenance and repair issues in New York City.
