BILL NUMBER:S3103
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public housing law, in relation to
the use of areas in housing authority projects for tenant meetings
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: This bill would allow tenants of public
housing authority projects desiring to conduct a meeting pursuant to
section two hundred thirty of the real property law, to have the use
without charge, of any location owned by the authority and set aside as
an area of common use for all tenants. Such use would include any commu-
nity or social room where use is normally subject to a fee, providing
the meeting is peacefully conducted, during reasonable hours and does
not obstruct any access.
JUSTIFICATION: This legislation would give tenants of housing authority
projects the opportunity to plan and schedule meetings within their
specific complex without having to rent an authorized meeting space.
Groups or committees that had previously been unable to meet in common
areas, due to the inability to pay for a community or social room where
use is usually subject to a fee, had been forced to meet in apartments
or open areas in possible violation of building codes. This legislation
would guarantee such groups free use of a bona-fide meeting place.
