BILL NUMBER:A9981
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the executive law, in relation to
requiring the division of housing and community renewal to establish a
publicly accessible online database of building-wide major capital
improvements
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: The purpose of this legislation is to
require the Division of Housing and Community Renewal to maintain a
searchable online database of building-wide major capital improvements.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: The bill will add section 260-a of the
of the executive law to require the commissioner of the division of
housing and community renewal to publish on the DHCR website a database
of building-wide major capital improvements installed by any landlord in
every city with a population of more than one million inhabitants. This
database will include the item's cost, make and model, location of
purchase, name of person or company conducting the installation and the
installation cost.
JUSTIFICATION: Major capital improvements permanently raise monthly
rates for rent-controlled or stabilized tenants and are often fraudu-
lently tiled by landlords to collect increases. By storing basic MCI
informational, most of which is already collected by DHCR in an accessi-
ble online database, tenants will be empowered to check if the MCI
information tiled by their landlord matches reality. This will offer
