twenty percent in each succeeding year until the assessed value  of  the
improvements  are  fully taxable.   Provided, however, exemption for any

purposes as the residence or home of any three or more  families  living
independently from one another for a period of twelve consecutive months
during  the  period  commencing  January  first, two thousand eight, and
ending December thirty-first, two thousand nine, provided that the unit:
is not located in a basement or cellar and has  at  least  one  entrance
that does not require passage through another residential unit to obtain
access  to  the unit, has at least one window opening onto a street or a
lawful yard or court as defined in the zoning resolution for such  muni-
cipality,  and is at least [five hundred fifty] FOUR HUNDRED square feet
in area.  The term "interim multiple dwelling" as used in this  subdivi-
sion  shall  not include (i) any building in an industrial business zone
established pursuant to chapter six-D of title twenty-two of the  admin-
istrative  code  of  the  city of New York except that a building in the
Williamsburg/Greenpoint or North Brooklyn industrial business zones  and
a  building  located  in that portion of the Long Island city industrial
business zone that has frontage on either side of  forty-seventh  avenue
or is located north of forty-seventh avenue and south of Skillman avenue

A. 3354                            16

ple dwelling," or (ii) units in any building, OTHER THAN A BUILDING THAT
IS ALREADY DEFINED AS AN "INTERIM MULTIPLE DWELLING" PURSUANT TO  SUBDI-
VISION  ONE,  TWO, THREE OR FOUR OF THIS SECTION, that, at the time this
subdivision  shall  take  effect  AND  CONTINUING  AT  THE  TIME  OF THE
SUBMISSION OF AN APPLICATION FOR COVERAGE BY ANY PARTY, also contains  a
use actively and currently pursued, which use is set forth in use groups
fifteen  through eighteen, as described in the zoning resolution of such
municipality in effect on June twenty-first, two thousand ten, and which
the loft board has determined in  rules  and  regulation  is  inherently
incompatible  with  residential  use in the same building, provided that
THE LOFT BOARD MAY BY RULE EXEMPT CATEGORIES OF UNITS OR BUILDINGS  FROM
SUCH  USE  INCOMPATIBILITY  DETERMINATIONS  INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
RESIDENTIALLY  OCCUPIED  UNITS  OR  SUBCATEGORIES  OF  SUCH  UNITS,  AND
PROVIDED,  FURTHER  THAT if a building does not contain such active uses
at the time this subdivision takes effect,  no  subsequent  use  by  the
owner  of  the  building shall eliminate the protections of this section
for any residential occupants in the building already qualified for such
protections. The term "interim  multiple  dwelling,"  as  used  in  this
subdivision shall also include buildings, structures or portions thereof
that are located north of West 24th Street and south of West 27th Street
and  west  of tenth avenue and east of eleventh avenue in a city of more
than one million persons which were occupied for residential purposes as
the residence or home of any two or more families  living  independently
from  one  another  for a period of twelve consecutive months during the
period commencing January first, two thousand eight, and ending December
thirty-first, two thousand nine and subject to all  the  conditions  and
limitations  of  this  subdivision other than the number of units in the
building. A reduction in the number of occupied residential units  in  a
building  after  meeting  the  aforementioned  twelve  consecutive month
requirement shall not eliminate the protections of this section for  any
remaining  residential occupants qualified for such protections. Non-re-
sidential space in a building as of the effective date of this  subdivi-
sion  shall be offered for residential use only after the obtaining of a
residential certificate of occupancy for such space and such space shall
be exempt from this article, even if a portion of such building  may  be
an interim multiple dwelling.
  S  22.  Subdivision  2 of section 286 of the multiple dwelling law, as
amended by chapter 414 of the laws of 1999, subparagraphs (A) and (B) of
paragraph (ii) and paragraph (iii) as amended by chapter 135 of the laws
of 2010, is amended to read as follows:
  2. (i) Prior to compliance with safety and fire  protection  standards
of  article seven-B of this chapter, residential occupants qualified for

pancy, provided that the unit is their primary residence, and shall  pay
the same rent, including escalations, specified in their lease or rental
agreement  to the extent to which such lease or rental agreement remains
in effect or, in the absence of a lease or rental  agreement,  the  same
rent  most recently paid and accepted by the owner; if there is no lease
or other rental agreement in effect, rent adjustments prior  to  article
seven-B  compliance  shall be in conformity with guidelines to be set by
the loft board for such residential occupants within six months from the
effective date of this article.
  (ii) In addition to any rent adjustment pursuant to paragraph  (i)  of
this  subdivision, on or after June twenty-first, nineteen hundred nine-
ty-two, the rent for residential units  in  interim  multiple  dwellings
that  are not yet in compliance with the requirements of subdivision one

of section two hundred eighty-four of this article shall be adjusted  as
follows:
  (A)  Upon the owners' filing of an alteration application, as required
by paragraph (ii), (iii), (iv), (v),  or  (vi)  of  subdivision  one  of

[six] THREE percent of the rent in effect at the time  the  owner  files
the alteration application.
  (B)  Upon  obtaining  an  alteration  permit, as required by paragraph
(ii), (iii), (iv), (v), or  (vi)  of  subdivision  one  of  section  two
hundred  eighty-four  of  this  article,  an adjustment equal to [eight]

  (D) Owners who filed an alteration application prior to the  effective
date  of this subparagraph shall be entitled to a prospective adjustment
equal to six percent of the rent on the effective date of this  subpara-
graph.
  (E)  Owners  who  obtained  an alteration permit prior to June twenty-
first, nineteen hundred ninety-two shall be entitled  to  a  prospective
adjustment  equal  to fourteen percent of the rent on June twenty-first,
nineteen hundred ninety-two.
  (F) Owners who achieved compliance with the standards  of  safety  and
fire  protection  set  forth  in article seven-B of this chapter for the
residential portions of the building prior to June  twenty-first,  nine-
teen  hundred  ninety-two  shall be entitled to a prospective adjustment
equal to twenty percent of  the  rent  on  June  twenty-first,  nineteen
hundred ninety-two.
  (iii) Any rent adjustments pursuant to paragraph (ii) of this subdivi-
sion  shall  not  apply to units which were rented at market value after

ty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-two. This paragraph shall not apply to
units  made  subject  to this article by subdivision five of section two
hundred eighty-one of this article.

  S 23. Subdivision 2 of section 285 of the multiple  dwelling  law,  as
amended  by  chapter  135  of  the  laws  of 2010, is amended to read as
follows:
  2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, an  owner  may
apply  to  the loft board for exemption of a building or portion thereof
from this article on the basis that  compliance  with  this  article  in
obtaining  a  legal  residential certificate of occupancy would cause an
unjustifiable hardship either because: (i) it would cause  an  unreason-
ably  adverse  impact  on a non-residential conforming use tenant within
the building or (ii) the cost of compliance  renders  legal  residential
conversion  infeasible. Residential and other tenants shall be given not
less than sixty days notice in advance of  the  hearing  date  for  such
application.  If  the loft board approves such application, the building
or portion thereof shall  be  exempt  from  this  article,  and  may  be
converted  to  non-residential  conforming uses, provided, however, that
the owner shall, as a condition of approval of such  application,  agree
to  file  an  irrevocable  recorded covenant in form satisfactory to the

A. 3354                            18

loft board enforceable for fifteen years by the municipality,  that  the
building  will not be re-converted to residential uses during such time.
The standard for granting such hardship application for  a  building  or
portion thereof shall be as follows: (a) the loft board shall only grant
the  minimum  relief  necessary to relieve any alleged hardship with the
understanding if compliance is reasonably possible it should be achieved
even if it requires alteration of units, relocation of tenants to vacant
space within the building, re-design of space or application for a  non-
use-related  variance, special permit, minor modification or administra-
tive certification; (b) self-created hardship shall not be allowed;  (c)
the  test for cost infeasibility shall be that of a reasonable return on
the owner's investment not maximum return on investment;  (d)  the  test
for  unreasonably  adverse  impact  on  a non-residential conforming use
tenant  shall  be  whether  residential  conversion  would   necessitate
displacement.  Such hardship applications shall be submitted to the loft
board within nine months of the establishment of the loft board (or,  in
the  case  of interim multiple dwellings referred to in subdivision four
of section two hundred eighty-one of this article, within nine months of
[the effective date of such subdivision four] JULY TWENTY-SEVENTH, NINE-
TEEN HUNDRED EIGHTY-SEVEN or in the case of interim  multiple  dwellings
made  subject to this article by subdivision five of section two hundred
eighty-one of this article, within nine months of the effective date  of
such subdivision five, OR, FOR UNITS THAT BECAME SUBJECT TO THIS ARTICLE
PURSUANT  TO  THE  CHAPTER  OF  THE  LAWS OF TWO THOUSAND THIRTEEN WHICH
AMENDED THIS PARAGRAPH, WITHIN NINE MONTHS OF THE  PROMULGATION  OF  ALL
NECESSARY  RULES AND REGULATIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY-
TWO-A OF THIS ARTICLE, but shall not be considered, absent a  waiver  by
the  loft  board, unless the owner has also filed an alteration applica-
tion. In determination of any such hardship application, the loft  board
may demand such information as it deems necessary. In approving any such
hardship application, the loft board may fix reasonable terms and condi-
tions for the vacating of residential occupancy.
  S  24.  Paragraph (vi) of subdivision 1 of section 284 of the multiple
dwelling law, as amended by chapter 135 of the laws of 2010, is  amended
to read as follows:
  (vi)  Notwithstanding  the provisions of paragraphs (i) through (v) of
this subdivision the owner of an interim multiple dwelling made  subject
to this article by subdivision five of section two hundred eighty-one of
this article (A) shall file an alteration application within nine months
from  the  effective date of the chapter of the laws of two thousand ten
which amended this subparagraph, OR, FOR UNITS THAT  BECAME  SUBJECT  TO
THIS  ARTICLE  PURSUANT TO THE CHAPTER OF THE LAWS OF TWO THOUSAND THIR-
TEEN WHICH AMENDED THIS PARAGRAPH, WITHIN NINE MONTHS OF  THE  PROMULGA-
TION  OF  ALL  NECESSARY  RULES  AND REGULATIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION TWO
HUNDRED EIGHTY-TWO-A OF THIS ARTICLE, and (B) shall take all  reasonable
and  necessary  action  to  obtain  an approved alteration permit within
twelve months from such  effective  date,  OR,  FOR  UNITS  THAT  BECAME
SUBJECT TO THIS ARTICLE PURSUANT TO THE CHAPTER OF THE LAWS OF TWO THOU-
SAND  THIRTEEN WHICH AMENDED THIS PARAGRAPH, WITHIN TWELVE MONTHS OF THE
PROMULGATION OF ALL NECESSARY RULES AND REGULATIONS PURSUANT TO  SECTION
TWO  HUNDRED EIGHTY-TWO-A OF THIS ARTICLE, and (C) shall achieve compli-
ance with the standards of safety and fire protection set forth in arti-
cle seven-B of this chapter for the residential portions of the building
within eighteen months from obtaining such alteration permit  [or  eigh-
teen months from such effective date, whichever is later], and (D) shall
take  all  reasonable  and  necessary  action to obtain a certificate of

A. 3354                            19

occupancy as a class A multiple dwelling for the residential portions of
the building or structure within [thirty-six] THIRTY  months  from  such
effective  date, OR FOR UNITS THAT BECAME SUBJECT TO THIS ARTICLE PURSU-
ANT  TO  THE  CHAPTER OF THE LAWS OF TWO THOUSAND THIRTEEN WHICH AMENDED
THIS PARAGRAPH WITHIN THIRTY MONTHS OF THE PROMULGATION OF ALL NECESSARY
RULES AND REGULATIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION TWO  HUNDRED  EIGHTY-TWO-A  OF
THIS  ARTICLE. The loft board may, upon good cause shown, and upon proof
of compliance with the standards of safety and fire protection set forth
in article seven-B of this chapter, twice extend the time of  compliance
with  the  requirement  to obtain a residential certificate of occupancy
for periods not to exceed twelve months each.
