SECTION 390-E
Unauthorized installation of certain security devices prohibited
General Business (GBS) CHAPTER 20, ARTICLE 26
* § 390-e. Unauthorized installation of certain security devices
prohibited. No person, firm, partnership, association or corporation
shall install any keyless security device used to control and secure
access to the common areas of any residential building without the
express written consent of the owner, board of managers, board of
directors, or authorized party of such property. Where a keyless
security device has been authorized, any installation of such device
shall be performed by, or with the consent of, the owner, property
manager, board of managers, board of directors, or authorized party in
place in such building. The owner, board of managers, board of
directors, or authorized party of such property consenting to the
installation of a keyless security device shall provide written notice
to occupants of the residential building no less than thirty days prior
to installation of the keyless security device, which may be made by
delivering a notice to each unit, either via physical or electronic
means, or by posting the notice in a conspicuous location in each common
area accessible to residents for a thirty-day period. Where notice is
prescribed by the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of a
cooperative or condominium, the owner, board of managers, board of
directors or other authorized party may instead comply with the
certificate of incorporation or by-laws. In no event shall the
installation of such a system be considered a service nor be considered
a reason, for any purpose, to increase rent. In no event shall the
installation of such a system obstruct or adversely impact the manner in
which residents of the residential building access such building.
