BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Paragraph 13 of subdivision c of section 26-511 of the
administrative code of the city of New York, as added by chapter 253 of
the laws of 1993, is amended to read as follows:
(13) provides that an owner is entitled to a rent increase where there
has been a substantial modification or increase of dwelling space or an
increase in the services, or installation of new equipment or improve-
ments or new furniture or furnishings provided in or to a tenant's hous-
ing accommodation, on written tenant consent to the rent increase. In
the case of a vacant housing accommodation, tenant consent shall not be
required. The permanent increase in the legal regulated rent for the
affected housing accommodation shall be one-fortieth of the total cost
incurred by the landlord in providing such modification or increase in
dwelling space, services, furniture, furnishings or equipment, including
the cost of installation, but excluding finance charges. Provided
further that an owner who is entitled to a rent increase pursuant to
this paragraph shall not be entitled to a further rent increase based
upon the installation of similar equipment, or new furniture or
furnishings within the useful life of such new equipment, or new furni-
ture or furnishings. THE OWNER SHALL GIVE WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE DIVI-
SION AND THE TENANT ON FORMS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMMISSIONER OF ANY SUCH
ADJUSTMENT PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH AND THE FAILURE TO PROVIDE SUCH
WRITTEN NOTICE AS PROVIDED HEREIN SHALL PRECLUDE THE COLLECTION OF ANY
SUCH ADJUSTMENT.

576 of the laws of 1974, constituting the emergency tenant protection
act of nineteen seventy-four, as added by chapter 253 of the laws of
