2017-S6662 (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S6662

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the multiple dwelling law, the emergency housing rent
control law, the emergency tenant protection act of nineteen
seventy-four, and the administrative code of the city of New York, in
relation to making technical corrections; and to repeal section 467-i
of the real property tax law relating to real property tax abatement

 PURPOSE :

The purpose of this bill is to extend for two years the provisions of
the Loft Law and to make technical amendments to Chapter 20 of the
Laws of 2015 in relation to the procedure for the deregulation of
housing accommodations subject to rent regulation in order to
effectuate the intent of, and agreement between, the parties.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1 of the bill amends section 282-a of the multiple dwelling
law to extend the Loft Law for two years.

Sections 2-6 of this bill amend several provisions of the rent
regulation laws relating to the deregulation of housing accommodations
subject to rent regulation. This bill eliminates any confusion

relating to the methodology for determining whether a housing
accommodation is deregulated based upon the legal regulated rent as of
the date of such vacancy.

Section 7 of the bill repeals section 467-I of the real property tax
law.

 JUSTIFICATION :

This bill extends for two additional years all applications for
registration as an interim multiple dwelling under the Loft Law.

This bill also clarifies the statutory language relating to the
deregulation of housing accommodations, the need for which arises due
to technical errors in Chapter 20, and is necessary to ensure that the
methodology, which has been in effect since the enactment of the Rent
Regulation Reform Act of 1997 relating to the deregulation of such
housing accommodations, continues in full force and effect.

This bill clarifies technical errors to provide that the statute is
consistent with the Division of Homes and Community Renewal's, lease
rider, which was revised by HCR subsequent to the enactment of Chapter
20, and which is required by law to be provided to tenants along with
the initial lease to the initial tenant subsequent to the prior
vacancy.

Included among the rider's provisions is a chart in which the owner
sets forth the calculations to demonstrate to the first deregulated
tenant the lawful increases subsequent to the prior vacancy resulting
in the deregulation of the housing accommodation. Notwithstanding
other modifications made to the lease rider arising from the enactment
of Chapter 20, the same deregulation methodology that was contained in
the agency's rider prior to the enactment of Chapter 20 continues
subsequent to the enactment of Chapter 20. The rider remains unchanged
for the purposes of the methodology for deregulation. This bill makes
technical changes to ensure consistency in the application of
deregulation.

Also, the same 2015 law included two versions of a real property tax
abatement available for New York City buildings subject to the
Emergency Housing Rent Control Law or the New York City Rent and
Rehabilitation Law or the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974.

Section 64-a and Section 65 of the Chapter are the competing versions
of the program. The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance
issued a notice in October, 2015, stating, "Until further notice,
Section 65 is the operative real property tax abatement." (N-15-12)
This bill would repeal RPTL § 467-i enacted under Section 64-a of
Chapter 20 of the Laws of 2015.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill takes effect immediately and sections two through seven are
intended to be retroactive in force and effect to the date of
enactment of Chapter 20 of the Laws of 2015.

 sion  pursuant  to this subparagraph shall not apply to housing accommo-

 commissioner  determines or finds that the landlord or any person acting
 on his or her behalf, with intent to cause the  tenant  to  vacate,  has
 engaged  in any course of conduct (including, but not limited to, inter-
 ruption or discontinuance of required services) which interfered with or
 disturbed or was intended to interfere  with  or  disturb  the  comfort,
 repose,  peace  or quiet of the tenant in his or her use or occupancy of
 the housing  accommodations  and  in  connection  with  such  course  of
 conduct,  any other general enforcement provision of this law shall also

 two  thousand  dollars  or  more per month; or, for any housing accommo-
 dation which is or becomes vacant on or after the effective date of  the
 rent  regulation reform act of 1997 and before the effective date of the
 rent act of 2011, with a legal regulated rent of two thousand dollars or

 or after the effective date of the rent act of 2015, [where such] WITH A
 legal  regulated  rent  [was]  OF  two thousand seven hundred dollars or
 more, and as further adjusted by this section. Starting  on  January  1,
 2016, and annually thereafter, the maximum legal regulated rent for this
 deregulation  threshold,  shall also be increased by the same percent as
 the most recent one year renewal adjustment, adopted  by  the  New  York
 city  rent guidelines board pursuant to the rent stabilization law. This
 exclusion shall apply regardless of whether the next tenant in occupancy

 dollars  or more per month at any time on or after the effective date of
 the rent act of 2015, which becomes vacant after the effective  date  of
 the  rent  act  of  2015, provided, however, that starting on January 1,
 2016, and annually thereafter, such legal regulated rent for this dereg-
 ulation threshold, shall also be increased by the same percentage as the
 most recent one year renewal adjustment, adopted by the  New  York  city
 rent  guidelines board. This exclusion shall apply regardless of whether
 the next tenant in occupancy or any subsequent tenant in occupancy actu-
 ally is charged or pays less than two thousand seven hundred dollars, as
 adjusted by the applicable rent  guidelines  board,  a  month.  Provided
 however,  that an exclusion pursuant to this subdivision shall not apply

 S. 6662                             5
 
 to housing accommodations which became or become subject to this law (a)
 by virtue of receiving tax benefits pursuant  to  section  four  hundred
 twenty-one-a  or  four hundred eighty-nine of the real property tax law,
 except  as  otherwise  provided  in subparagraph (i) of paragraph (f) of
 subdivision two of section four hundred twenty-one-a of the real proper-
 ty tax law, or (b) by virtue of article seven-C of the multiple dwelling
 law. This section shall not apply, however, to or become effective  with
 respect  to  housing accommodations which the commissioner determines or
 finds that the landlord or any person acting on his or her behalf,  with
 intent  to  cause the tenant to vacate, engaged in any course of conduct

 required services) which interfered with or disturbed or was intended to

 provision of this law shall also apply.
   b.  The owner of any housing accommodation that is not subject to this
 law pursuant to the provisions of  subdivision  a  of  this  section  or
 subparagraph k of paragraph 2 of subdivision e of section 26-403 of this
 code  shall  give  written  notice  certified by such owner to the first
 tenant of that housing accommodation after  such  housing  accommodation
 becomes  exempt  from  the  provisions  of this law or the city rent and
 rehabilitation law. Such notice shall contain the last  regulated  rent,
 the reason that such housing accommodation is not subject to this law or
 the  city  rent  and rehabilitation law, a calculation of how either the
 rental amount charged when there  is  no  lease  or  the  rental  amount
 provided  for  in the lease has been derived so as to reach two thousand
 dollars or more per month or, for a housing accommodation with  a  legal
 regulated  rent  or maximum rent of two thousand five hundred dollars or
 more per month on or after the effective date of the rent act  of  2011,
 and  before  the  effective  date  of  the rent act of 2015, which is or
 becomes vacant on or after such effective date, whether the next  tenant
 in  occupancy  or any subsequent tenant in occupancy actually is charged
 or pays less than a legal regulated rent or maximum rent of two thousand
 five hundred dollars or more per month, or two  thousand  seven  hundred
 dollars  or  more,  per month, starting on January 1, 2016, and annually
 thereafter, the maximum  legal  regulated  rent  for  this  deregulation
 threshold,  shall  also  be  increased  by  the same percent as the most
 recent one year renewal adjustment, adopted by the New  York  city  rent
 guidelines  board  pursuant  to  the rent stabilization law, a statement
 that the last legal regulated rent or the maximum rent may  be  verified
 by  the tenant by contacting the state division of housing and community
 renewal, or any successor thereto, and the address and telephone  number
 of  such  agency, or any successor thereto. Such notice shall be sent by
 certified mail within thirty days after the tenancy commences  or  after
 the  signing  of  the  lease  by both parties, whichever occurs first or
 shall be delivered to the tenant at the signing of the lease.  In  addi-
 tion,  the  owner  shall  send  and  certify to the tenant a copy of the

 state  division  of  housing  and community renewal indicating that such
 housing accommodation became exempt from the provisions of this  law  or
 the  city rent and rehabilitation law, which form shall include the last
 regulated rent, and shall be sent to the tenant within thirty days after
 the tenancy commences or the  filing  of  such  registration,  whichever
 occurs later.

 trative code of the city of New York, as amended by section 12 of part A

 tenant  is  less  than the legal regulated rent for the housing accommo-
 dation, the amount of rent for such housing accommodation which  may  be
 charged  upon renewal or upon vacancy thereof, may, at the option of the

 as  adjusted  by the most recent applicable guidelines increases and any
 other increases authorized by law. Such housing accommodation  shall  be
 excluded  from  the provisions of this code pursuant to section 26-504.2

 or more, for any housing accommodation that is or becomes  vacant  after
 the  effective  date  of the rent act of 2011 but prior to the effective
 date of the rent act of 2015 or (ii) such legal regulated  rent  is  two
 thousand seven hundred dollars per month or more, provided, however that
 on January 1, 2016, and annually thereafter, the maximum legal regulated
 rent  for  this  deregulation  threshold  shall  be adjusted by the same
 percentage as the most recent one year renewal adjustment as adjusted by
 the relevant rent guidelines board, for any housing  accommodation  that
 is or becomes vacant on or after the rent act of 2015.

   (b) the amendments made to paragraph 13 of subdivision a of section  5
 of  section  4 of the emergency tenant protection act of nineteen seven-
