Bill > A07199

This bill requires landlords of multiple dwellings to post a specific notice in a conspicuous place at each entrance way, informing tenants about accessing the New York State sex offender registry. The notice provides details on how residents can find information about high-risk sex offenders in their area, including a toll-free telephone number (1-800-262-3257) and guidance to contact local law enforcement for more information. The notice also explicitly warns that it is illegal to use this information to commit crimes against listed individuals or to engage in discrimination or harassment. The bill defines "landlord" broadly to include owners, agents, managers, and superintendents, and references existing definitions of "multiple dwelling" from the multiple dwelling and multiple residence laws. The bill will take effect 120 days after becoming law, giving property managers time to implement the new posting requirement.
