TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the real property law, in relation to clarifying information
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 limited liability corporations to local municipalities to
assist them in their efforts to enforce codes, properly administer
the assessment process and collect judgments and taxes.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 amends subparagraph 7 and 8 of subparagraph ii of
subdivision 1-e of section 333 of the real property law, as amended
by section 1 of part B of Chapter 57 of the laws of
2004 and adds two new subparagraphs 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.

EXISTING LAW:
Existing law does not require that
member(s) of a LLC
execute articles of organization, specify actual place of business,
or that the members of such LLC be listed.

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.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
2011-2012 (S.1409) Referred to Judiciary
2009-2010 (S.5062) Referred to Judiciary

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:


None.

LOCAL FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect 180 days after it shall have become law.
