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

  Section  1. Subdivision c of section 26-511 of the administrative code
of the city of New York is amended by adding a new paragraph 15 to  read
as follows:
  (15)  PROVIDES  THAT A RENT STABILIZED TENANT WHO (A) HAS RECEIVED THE
REQUISITE NOTICE OF LEASE RENEWAL; (B) HAS NOT RESPONDED  TO  THE  OWNER
REGARDING  WHETHER  THE  TENANT INTENDS TO REMAIN IN OCCUPANCY AFTER THE
EXPIRATION OF THE LEASE AND, IF SO, AS TO THE LENGTH  OF  SUCH  RENEWAL;
AND  (C) AND DOES REMAIN IN OCCUPANCY AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF HIS OR HER
LEASE, MAY BE DEEMED TO HAVE HIS OR  HER  LEASE  RENEWED  BY  THE  OWNER
SUBJECT  TO  THE  SAME  TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PRIOR RENEWAL LEASE.
SUCH LEASE SHALL BE DEEMED RENEWED AT THE LEGAL REGULATED RENT, TOGETHER
WITH ANY RENT GUIDELINES BOARD INCREASES THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN APPLICABLE
HAD THE OFFER OF A RENEWAL LEASE BEEN TIMELY ACCEPTED.
  S 2. This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day  after  it  shall
have become a law, provided, however, that the amendments to subdivision
c  of  section 26-511 of the administrative code of the city of New York
made by section one of this act shall not affect the expiration of  such
section and shall be deemed to expire therewith.
