2023-S6917 - Summary

Requires a petition in a summary proceeding to recover possession of real property in the city of Newburgh to allege proof of compliance with local laws requiring rental residential property registration and licensure.

2023-S6917 - Sponsor Memo

                                 
BILL NUMBER: S6917

SPONSOR: ROLISON
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the real property actions and proceedings law, in
relation to requiring a petition in a summary  proceeding  to  recover
possession  of real property in the city of Newburgh to allege proof of
compliance with local  laws  requiring  rental  residential  property
registration and licensure

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

To require a property owner to allege proof of compliance with the City
of Newburgh's rental property laws as a condition of bringing an
eviction petition in the City Court.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends subdivision 6 of section 741 of the Real Property
Actions and Proceedings Law by adding the City of Newburgh to the,
provisions of this section.

Section 2 sets forth the effective date which is on:the ninetieth day
after it becomes a law,

 
JUSTIFICATION:

One of a municipality's most important responsibilities is enforcing its
building code. This is especially true in the City of Newburgh where
more than two-thirds of the residents live in rental housing.

In 2016, the City of Newburgh, to help enforce its building code, passed
a landlord registry requirement. Unfortunately, many landlords have
failed to comply with the law. This lack of compliance means that many
residents continue to live in subpar housing. The situation, compounded
by the lack of available and affordable housing, leaves tenants with
virtually no options to find better living situations.

By requiring landlords to register as a condition of allowing them to
evict tenants, they will have an immediate, monetary incentive to comply
with the law. As a result, the City of Newburgh will be able to track
down landlords and better enforce' its building code, resulting in
safer, healthier living conditions for renters and a more habitable city
for all.


 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:.

New bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:,

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall have
become a law.
