or  (ii) the requirements of subdivision 12 of section 421-a of the real

11-245  of  the administrative code of the city of New York shall not be
applicable to any multiple dwelling that is located on lot 10 of Manhat-
tan  block number 123, as such lot and block are numbered as of the date
this act shall have become  law,  provided  that  construction  of  such
multiple  dwelling  commenced  on  or  after  January 1, 2007, and on or

thereof  seeking benefits pursuant to section 421-a of the real property
tax law enters into and fulfills the requirements  of  a  memorandum  of
understanding  with the city of New York Department of Housing Preserva-
tion and Development to fund in an amount not less than $9  million  the
construction  of  affordable rental housing within the City of New York,
provided, however, that such amount required shall  be  reduced  by  the
value  of  negotiable  certificates that the individual or agent thereof
seeking benefits purchased, pursuant to section 6-08 of title 28 of  the
rules  of the city of New York as such rules existed as of the date this
act shall have become law, in order to entitle such multiple dwelling to
the benefits pursuant to section 421-a of the real property tax law  for
a  specified  number of units in the geographic exclusion area, provided
that such negotiable certificates were generated by a written  agreement
with  the  Department  of  Housing  Preservation  and  Development,  and
provided further that, notwithstanding any other provision of law, bene-
fits granted pursuant to section 421-a of the real property tax law  for
such  multiple dwelling shall be granted as if construction commenced on
June 21, 2012.  For the construction of any  multiple  dwelling  on  the
above referenced lots, with the exception of lots numbered 17, 18 and 21
of  Manhattan  block  numbered  90,  which receives benefits pursuant to
section 421-a of the real property tax law, any work which  may  involve
the  employment  of  laborers,  workers or mechanics shall be considered
public work for the purposes of article eight of the labor law, and  any
contracts  or subcontracts which may involve the employment of laborers,
workers or mechanics shall be enforceable under  article  eight  of  the
labor  law,  provided,  however, that such provisions shall not apply to
construction performed pursuant to a project labor agreement that  is  a
pre-hire  collective bargaining agreement governing the terms and condi-
tions of employment entered into  by  a  construction  user  and/or  its
representative  and  a  bona  fide building and construction trade labor
organization establishing  the  labor  organization  as  the  collective
bargaining representative for laborers, workers and mechanics.
  S  2.  This  act  shall take effect immediately and shall be deemed to
have been in full force and effect on the same  date  and  in  the  same
manner  as section 14 of chapter 4 of the laws of 2013 amending the real
property tax law relating to exemption from taxation of alterations  and
improvements  to multiple dwellings to eliminate fire and health hazards
and a partial abatement of real  property  taxes  for  condominiums  and
cooperatives, in a city having a population of one million or more, took
