                               ___________

Introduced  by M. of A. FITZPATRICK, McDONOUGH -- read once and referred
  to the Committee on Housing

AN ACT to amend the administrative code of the city of New York and  the
  emergency  tenant protection act of nineteen seventy-four, in relation
  to determining primary  residency;  and  to  amend  the  tax  law,  in
  relation to verification of residence

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Clause 10 of subparagraph (i) of paragraph 2 of subdivision
e of section 26-403 of the administrative code of the city of New  York,
as  amended  by  chapter  422 of the laws of 2010, is amended to read as
follows:
  (10) Housing accommodations not occupied by the tenant, not  including
subtenants  or occupants, as his or her primary residence, as determined
by a court of competent  jurisdiction.    For  PURPOSES  OF  DETERMINING
PRIMARY  RESIDENCY,  AS  USED IN THIS CHAPTER, THE FAILURE TO FILE A NEW
YORK CITY RESIDENT INCOME TAX RETURN  FOR  THE  TWO  PRECEDING  CALENDAR
YEARS  (SETTING FORTH THE HOUSING ACCOMMODATION AS HIS OR HER RESIDENCE)
BY AN INDIVIDUAL REQUIRED BY LAW TO FILE SUCH A RETURN, SHALL RESULT  IN
A FINDING THAT THE TENANT DOES NOT OCCUPY THE UNIT AS HIS OR HER PRIMARY
RESIDENCE;  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS PROVISION SHALL NOT APPLY TO AN
INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS REQUESTED AN EXTENSION OF TIME FOR PAYMENT OF TAX, OR
WHO IS NOT REQUIRED TO FILE A RESIDENT INCOME TAX RETURN, OR  WHERE  ANY
OTHER  FACTOR EXISTS WHICH WOULD EXCUSE THE TIMELY FILING OF THE RETURN;
PROVIDED FURTHER, THAT THE TIMELY FILING OF THE RETURN, ALONE, SHALL NOT
RESULT IN A PRESUMPTION THAT THE INDIVIDUAL DOES OCCUPY THE UNIT AS  HIS
OR  HER PRIMARY RESIDENCE OR THAT THE FILING OF AN ACTION TO DETERMINE A
TENANT'S PRIMARY RESIDENCE SHALL NOT PRECLUDE SUCH TENANT FROM FILING AN
AMENDED TAX RETURN PROVIDED THAT SUCH AMENDED  RETURN  IS  FILED  WITHIN
SIXTY  DAYS OF THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE ACTION. FURTHER, FOR the purposes
of determining primary residency, a tenant who is a victim  of  domestic
violence,  as defined in section four hundred fifty-nine-a of the social
services law, who has left the unit because of such  violence,  and  who
asserts an intent to return to the housing accommodation shall be deemed
