Bill > S06837

This bill amends the New York City Administrative Code to modify the timeline and process for re-inspecting dwellings with mold violations. Specifically, the bill changes the timeframes for correcting different types of violations (non-hazardous, hazardous, and immediately hazardous) and mandates that the department conduct re-inspections within specific timelines after a violation is reported or expected to be corrected. For non-hazardous violations, property owners now have 30 days to correct the issue, and the department will re-inspect within 30 days. For hazardous violations, the correction timeline is reduced to 15 days, with a subsequent re-inspection within 15 days. Immediately hazardous violations now require correction within 7 days, with a corresponding 7-day re-inspection window. The bill also limits the postponement of correction for immediately hazardous violations to 7 days (reduced from 14 days) and prevents postponement if the violation resulted from a previous uncorrected hazardous violation. These changes aim to more quickly address mold-related health and safety concerns in residential dwellings by expediting the violation correction and re-inspection processes.
