BILL NUMBER: S3091

SPONSOR: KAVANAGH
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the real property law, in relation to clarifying infor-
mation collected on a real property transfer form

 
PURPOSE:

This legislation would change the Real Property Law to make available
necessary information including names and addresses of members of limit-
ed liability corporations to local municipalities to assist them in
their efforts to enforce codes, properly administer the assessment proc-
ess and collect judgments and taxes.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends subparagraphs 7 and 8 of subparagraph ii of subdivision
1-e of section 333 of the real property law, and adds two new subpara-
graphs 9 and 10 to require that a purchaser of a parcel, in the event it

is a limited liability company, corporation or other such entity, must
include the name of a company, the place of business of the company, the
name of a responsible party who has an interest in the company, and a
telephone number where such responsible party may be contacted.  Such
requirements would apply to all counties in New York State, including
those comprising New York City.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Residential properties are routinely acquired by Limited Liability
Companies (LLCs) and often the buyer's signature on the real property
transfer form (RP-5217) is illegible, with a post office box provided
for the address. Current law does not require that members of a LLC or
the LLC's actual place of business be listed on such forms. As a result
of these oversights in the current Real Property law, serious problems
frequently arise for municipal code enforcement and assessment officials
in carrying out the enforcement of the housing code, collection of fines
and judgments, and delinquent tax collection. This inability to contact
or provide legal service of notices to an individual responsible for the
property seriously affects the quality of life in neighborhoods with
multiple properties owned by LLC's.

 
FISCAL IMPACT ON THE STATE:

None.

 
FISCAL IMPACT ON LOCALITIES:

None.

 
IMPACT ON REGULATION OF BUSINESSES AND INDIVIDUALS:

Would require LLCs and corporations to provide an address, telephone
number, and the name of a responsible party when purchasing property.

 
IMPACT ON FINES, IMPRISONMENT, FORFEITURE OF RIGHTS, OR OTHER PENAL
SANCTIONS:

None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after it
shall have become a law. Effective immediately the office of real prop-
erty services may amend, add, or repeal any rule or regulation necessary
for the timely implementation of this act on its effective date.
