BILL NUMBER:S5637 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the multiple dwelling law, in relation to the definition of a "class A multiple dwelling" PURPOSE: To provide an exemption for primary and secondary residences that rent certain class A multiple dwelling units on a short-term basis.

This bill does not serve these types of illegal hotels, but rather helps those individuals that rent out their own units to help make ends meet and earn extra income. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill amends subdivision 8 of section 4 of the multiple dwelling law, adding an additional exemption to incidental and occasional occupancy of dwelling units, provided that this occupancy is in either the primary or secondary residence of the permanent occupant. JUSTIFICATION: The 2010 law was written to address a problem of entire buildings
