AI Summary
This bill, effective October 1, 2026, allows any municipality, which is a town, city, or borough, to pass a local law, called an ordinance, that would prevent landlords from raising the rent on residential properties, referred to as dwelling units, if those properties have at least two outstanding violations of local health and safety rules or the State Building Code, which are the minimum standards for construction and safety. This prohibition on rent increases would remain in effect until all the violations are fixed.
