BILL NUMBER: S5281
TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the real property tax law, in
relation to requiring notification to be given to the local housing
agency in the event that cessation of construction on a project for
which an application for a certain tax exemption has been made equals
or exceeds sixty days
PURPOSE : To require applicants under the 421-a tax abatement
program to provide written notice to the local housing agency when
construction ceases for a period exceeding sixty days.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Adds a new subdivision 5-a to Section 421-a
of the real property tax law requiring applicants to affirmatively
notify the local housing agency in writing when construction ceases
for a period exceeding sixty days, the reasons for the cessation and
the date construction is expected to resume.
EXISTING LAW : Section 421-a real property tax law.
JUSTIFICATION : It is important for communities and local housing
agencies to be informed about construction projects that require 421-a
tax abatements coming to a halt. This notification will be an alert
that expected affordable housing is no longer imminent. Furthermore,
projects that cease construction without explanation leave neighbors
questioning whether the excavation in their midst will ever conclude
