                                 BILL NUMBER:  S3854

 TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in
relation to renewal of a lease under the stabilization code

 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :
The purpose of this bill is to clarify the original intent of the Rent
Stabilization Law and to prohibit landlords from circumventing the
demolition provision included in the Rent Stabilization Law. Landlords
are attempting to circumvent rent stabilization by applying for a
demolition permit in order to move tenants out; when their real
purpose is to do a gut rehab so they can lease the apartments for
higher rents.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :
Section 1 of this bill constitutes a provision where the owner has
established to the satisfaction of the division of housing and
community renewal after a hearing that he or she intends in good faith
to demolish the building and has obtained a permit thereof from the
department of buildings.

Section 2 provides for an immediate effective date with
qualifications.

 EFFECTS OF PRESENT LAW WHICH THIS BILL WOULD ALTER :

This bill would amend Subparagraph (a) of paragraph 9 of subdivision c
of section 26-511 of the administrative code of the city of New York,
constituting a provision of the rent stabilization law of nineteen
hundred sixty-nine.

 JUSTIFICATION :
It is in the State's economic and social interest that an adequate
supply of affordable housing be available. But as development
pressures continue to drive the competitive real estate market in New
York City and surrounding counties, there has been an increasing loss
of affordable housing units. Eager to increase profits on
rent-stabilized housing units in particular, building owners have
utilized a variety of means to turn these units into more profitable
luxury housing or commercial units. The result has been that each
year, thousands of rent-stabilized units are permanently removed from
the housing stock. This trend continues as owners seek new ways to
manipulate the letter and spirit of the law in order to more
expeditiously eliminate the rent-stabilized units in a building.

This bill addresses one method by which owners are increasingly
attempting to get rid of rent-stabilized housing. While the
Legislature intended that the demolition provision of the Rent
Stabilization law allow room for owners to demolish old, dilapidated
and dangerous housing in order to replace it with new, safe housing;
some owners are attempting to redefine demolition as simple
renovations where entire floors are left intact, outer walls are
untouched, or major structural elements remain in place.  Such uses of
the term "demolition" are inconsistent with both its common meaning
and the meaning that was intended by the Legislature.

This bill will clarify the definition of "demolition", making it
consistent with its common and intended definitions. Accordingly, it
will be clear that owners shall not be permitted to eliminate
rent-stabilized housing units by manipulating the demolition provision
in this manner.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
A.10944 - 2006

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :
To be determined.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to any action
or proceeding pending in any court and to any application, complaint,
or proceeding pending before an administrative agency on such
effective date, as well as to any action or proceeding commenced
thereafter; provided, however that the amendments to subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 9 of subdivision c of section 26-511 of chapter 4 of
title 26 of the administrative code of the city of New York made by
section one of this act shall expire of such law as provided under
section 26-520 of such law.
