Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public housing law, in relation to the New York city housing authority and mold remediation
AI Summary
This bill amends the New York public housing law to establish a specific timeline for mold remediation in New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) properties. When a tenant reports mold in their dwelling unit, the housing authority will now be required to remediate the mold within 15 days of the report. Furthermore, after completing the mold removal, the authority must conduct an inspection of the dwelling unit within 60 days to verify that the mold has been effectively eliminated. This legislation aims to improve living conditions and address health concerns related to mold in public housing by creating clear, time-bound obligations for the housing authority to respond to and resolve mold issues reported by tenants. The bill will go into effect 90 days after it becomes law.
