This act shall be known and may be cited as the "tenant protection act of 2019". § 2. The penal law is amended by adding a new section 241.02 to read as follows: § 241.02 HARASSMENT OF A RENT REGULATED TENANT IN THE SECOND DEGREE. AN OWNER IS GUILTY OF HARASSMENT OF A RENT REGULATED TENANT IN THE SECOND DEGREE WHEN, WITH INTENT TO INDUCE A RENT REGULATED TENANT TO VACATE A HOUSING ACCOMMODATION, SUCH OWNER INTENTIONALLY ENGAGES IN A COURSE OF CONDUCT THAT: 1. IMPAIRS THE HABITABILITY OF A HOUSING ACCOMMODATION; OR 2. CREATES OR MAINTAINS A CONDITION WHICH ENDANGERS THE SAFETY OR HEALTH OF THE DWELLING'S TENANT; OR 3. IS REASONABLY LIKELY TO INTERFERE WITH OR DISTURB, AND DOES INTER- FERE WITH OR DISTURB, THE COMFORT, REPOSE, PEACE OR QUIET OF SUCH RENT REGULATED TENANT IN HIS OR HER USE AND OCCUPANCY OF SUCH HOUSING ACCOM- MODATION INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE INTERRUPTION OR DISCONTIN- UANCE OF ESSENTIAL SERVICES. THE GOOD FAITH COMMENCEMENT AND PURSUIT OF A LAWFUL EVICTION ACTION BY AN OWNER AGAINST A RENT REGULATED TENANT IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION SHALL NOT, BY ITSELF, CONSTITUTE A "COURSE OF CONDUCT" IN VIOLATION OF THIS SUBDIVISION. HARASSMENT OF A RENT REGULATED TENANT IN THE SECOND DEGREE IS A CLASS A MISDEMEANOR. § 3. Section 241.05 of the penal law, as added by chapter 116 of the laws of 1997, is amended to read as follows: § 241.05 Harassment of a rent regulated tenant IN THE FIRST DEGREE.
