   Section  1.  The  legislature  hereby  finds  that  due to the special
 circumstances of senior citizens, a greater degree of care must be taken
 in preserving the essentials of life for the elderly. In 1982, and again
 in 1986, the legislature recognized the  particular  hardship  of  relo-
 cation  for  such  persons  and  extended  to  eligible  senior citizens
 protection from eviction pursuant to certain cooperative or  condominium
 conversion  plans.  The legislature hereby finds that greater protection
 must be afforded to  senior  citizens  currently  residing  in  multiple
 dwellings subject to a cooperative or condominium conversion plan in the
 city  of  New  York and threatened with eviction pursuant to an eviction
 plan.
   § 2. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of  law,  any  person  who
 attains  the  age of sixty-two years or older on or before July 1, 2017,
 who is and has continuously been since  prior  to  January  1,  1982,  a
 tenant of a dwelling unit located in a building or group of buildings or
 development  in  the city of New York subject to a cooperative or condo-
 minium conversion eviction plan, and who is a non-purchasing tenant  and
 otherwise  subject  to eviction, may remain in occupancy with all of the
 rights of non-purchasing tenants as provided in paragraph (c) of  subdi-
 vision  2  of  section  352-eeee  of  the  general  business law and all
 protections extended by applicable rent regulation laws and  provisions;
