Bill > S06600

This bill requires non-fireproof multiple dwellings in New York City (defined as a city with a population of one million or more) to undergo comprehensive fire safety inspections every three years. Property owners, agents, contractors, or lessees must conduct these inspections using a certified inspector, focusing on electrical systems and related equipment. The inspection reports must detail any fire safety hazards discovered and the repairs made to address them. Failure to submit the required report by September 1st of the third year will result in a daily fine of $100. Buildings found non-compliant with the New York City housing maintenance and construction codes must make necessary repairs within six months. If owners do not complete the required improvements, they will be subject to a $100 per day fine, and if non-compliance continues for six months or more, a lien will be placed on the property. The New York City Department of Buildings is tasked with creating rules and regulations to implement these requirements. The bill aims to improve fire safety and living conditions in multi-unit dwellings by mandating regular inspections and timely repairs.
