BILL NUMBER:S1740
TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the public housing law, in relation to the use of areas in
housing authority developments for tenant meetings
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
This bill would allow tenants, of public housing authority projects,
desiring to conduct a meeting pursuant to section two hundred thirty
of the real property law to have the use, without having to pay a
fee, of any location owned by the authority and set aside as an area
of common use for all tenants, including any community or social room
where use is normally subject to a fee, providing the meeting is
peacefully conducted, during reasonable hours, does not obstruct any
access, and, the meeting space is reserved three days in advance.
JUSTIFICATION:
This legislation would give tenants of housing authority projects the
opportunity to Plan and schedule meetings within their specific
complex without having to rent an authorized meeting space. Groups,
or committees, that, due to the inability to nay for a community or
social room where use is usually subject to a fee, would be forced to
meet in apartments or open areas in possible violation of building
codes, would be guaranteed free use of a bonafide meeting place. This
legislation would also protect the housing authority complex by
