BILL NUMBER: S6916
TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the public housing law, in relation to the use of
areas in housing authority projects 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 pay 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

BILL NUMBER:S6916A
TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the public housing law, in relation to the use of
areas in housing authority projects 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 charge, of any
location owned by the authority and set aside as an area of common use
for all tenants. Such use would include any community or social room
where use is normally subject to a fee, providing the meeting is
peacefully conducted, during reasonable hours and does not obstruct
any access.
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 had previously been unable to meet in common areas,
due to the inability to pay for a community or social room where use
is usually subject to a fee, had been forced to meet in apartments or
open areas in possible violation of building codes. This legislation
would guarantee such groups free use of a bona-fide meeting place.
