Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the emergency tenant protection act of nineteen seventy-four, the administrative code of the city of New York and the emergency housing rent control law, in relation to requiring the division of housing and community renewal to calculate the period of rent reduction due to diminution of services from the date of actual diminution of the services
AI Summary
This bill amends several laws, including the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974 and the Administrative Code of the City of New York, to ensure that when a landlord fails to provide essential services to tenants, any resulting rent reduction is calculated from the actual date the services were diminished, not from when the issue was reported or addressed by the Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR). This means tenants will receive the full benefit of the rent reduction for the entire period they were without the services they were entitled to. The bill also clarifies that these changes apply to all pending and future cases.
