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:
