BILL NUMBER: S4682

SPONSOR: PARKER
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the public housing law, the public authorities law and
the energy law, in relation to providing for the heating and cooling of
properties including dwelling units owned by the New York city housing
authority through the installation of geothermal or air source heat
pumps

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

The purpose of this bill is to develop a source of funding for providing
sustainable and energy efficient systems for the heating and cooling of
units owned by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA).

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1: This act shall be known and may be cited as the "NYCHA HVAC
repair act".

Section 2: The public housing law is amended by adding a new section
402-g.

Section 3: The public authorities law is amended by adding a new section
1879-a.

Section 4: Section 6-104 of the energy law is amended by adding a new
subdivision 6.

Section 5: This act shall take effect immediately.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) has had severe issues in
providing reliable heating and cooling for many units that it owns.
With freezing cold winters and dangerously hot summers in New York, many
NYCHA residents must deal with brutal temperature-related conditions
within their units. This legislation takes action to limit NYCHA resi-
dents from having to face heat or cold-related emergencies, by having
the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA)
provide a revolving loan fund for installation of efficient and sustain-
able heating and cooling systems known as geothermal heat pumps.
