                                 BILL NUMBER:  S4393

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to authorize Congregation Ginze Yosef to file
an application for exemption from water and sewer charges for certain
assessment rolls

 PURPOSE :

The purpose of this bill is to authorize Congregation Ginze Yosef, in
the borough of Brooklyn of the City of New York, to file a retroactive
application for an exemption from water and sewer charges for certain
fiscal years.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1 authorizes the NYC Department of Environmental Protection to
accept an application for exemption from water and sewer charges for
fiscal years 2009 - 2014 for the not-for-profit corporation
Congregation Ginze Yosef. This section further states that the NYC
Department of Environmental Protection shall review the application as
if it had been received on or before the exemption application
deadline established for these fiscal years. If satisfied that
Congregation Ginze Yosef would otherwise have been entitled to said
exemption, the Commissioner of the NYC Department of Environmental
Protection, upon approval by the City Council of New York City, may
grant exemption from all water and sewer charges, taxes, fines,

penalties and remaining unpaid interest, and make appropriate
corrections to the subject water and sewer bills.

Section 2 is the enacting clause

 JUSTIFICATION :

In 1975, Congregation Ginze Yosef, a not-for-profit corporation,
acquired title to a property in the City of New York, borough of
Brooklyn. However, due to administrative oversight, it failed to apply
in a timely manner for exemption from the payment of water and sewer
charges in connection with the property. The intention of this bill to
undo the hardships that will be suffered if the organization is
required to pay the charges, interest and penalties due in the sum of
approximately $8,100.
