 AN ACT to amend the real property tax law and the administrative code of
   the  city  of  New  York,  in relation to extending the time to file a
   final  application  under  the  industrial  and  commercial  abatement
   program

   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds that the
 industrial and commercial abatement program (ICAP) has  been  successful
 in  encouraging  economic  growth  and  development in areas of New York
 city. ICAP imposes a strict requirement that the final  application  for
 ICAP  benefits  be  filed within one year of the issuance of a project's
 first building permit. However, the ICAP legislation's  strict  one-year
 filing  requirement  results  in  harsh outcomes for applicants in situ-
 ations where the New York city department of  buildings  issued  a  stop
 work order necessitating the substantial redesign of a project after the
 issuance  of  the  first building permit. In such instances, ICAP appli-
 cants are required to redesign their projects  and  substantively  amend
 their  ICAP applications without providing any extension of the one year
 final application filing period. The  strict  application  of  the  ICAP
 final  application  deadline  in  such  circumstances is contrary to the
 intent of the ICAP law and the New York city department of  finance  has
 attempted  to  address these inequities in the promulgation of new rules
 defining what constitutes the initial building permit for ICAP projects.
 This legislation would amend the strict final application  deadline  for
 pre-existing projects and enable affected projects to receive ICAP bene-
 fits prospectively.
   §  2. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 5 of section 489-cccccc of the real
 property tax law is amended by adding a new subparagraph (iii)  to  read
 as follows:
   (III)  EXTENSION  OF  TIME TO FILE FINAL APPLICATION.  NOTWITHSTANDING
 SUBPARAGRAPH (II) OF  THIS  PARAGRAPH,  FOR  PROJECTS  WITH  PRELIMINARY
 APPLICATIONS  FILED PRIOR TO MAY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND TEN AND THE INITIAL
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets

                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 BUILDING PERMIT FOR SUCH PROJECT WAS SUBJECT TO A STOP WORK  ORDER  FROM
 THE  DEPARTMENT  OF  BUILDINGS,  WHICH  STOP  WORK ORDER RESULTED IN THE
 SUBSTANTIAL REDESIGN OF THE PROJECT PRIOR TO THE RE-INSTATEMENT OF  SUCH
 BUILDING  PERMIT, THE TIME PERIOD TO FILE THE FINAL APPLICATION FOR SUCH
 PROJECT SHALL BE EXTENDED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME BETWEEN THE INITIAL ISSU-
 ANCE OF THE STOP WORK ORDER  AND  THE  RE-INSTATEMENT  OF  THE  BUILDING
 PERMIT  BASED ON THE SUBSTANTIAL REDESIGN OF THE PROJECT. THE PROVISIONS
 OF THIS SUBPARAGRAPH SHALL BE APPLICABLE TO  PROJECTS  WITH  PRELIMINARY
 APPLICATIONS  FILED PRIOR TO MAY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND TEN AND FOR WHICH A
 FINAL CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY HAS NOT YET BEEN ISSUED.

 trative code of the city of New York is amended by adding a new subpara-
 graph (c) to read as follows:
