BILL NUMBER: S1944 SPONSOR: HOYLMAN-SIGAL TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, the emergency tenant protection act of nineteen seventy-four and the emer- gency housing rent control law, in relation to requiring property owners to dedicate certain residential units to rent regulated status following demolition and new construction or substantial renovation PURPOSE OF BILL: This bill removes one of the main tools in the corrupt landlord's tool- box by requiring that if a landlord renders rent regulated units uninha- bitable by way of construction, and meets certain criterion, then the landlord must rededicate an equal number of units of equal size to rent regulation status. Thus eliminating any incentive for a landlord to even attempt to evict tenants by means of aggressive and unbearable construction. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
