* § 616. Leasing of units owned by a housing access voucher local
administrator. 1. If an eligible individual or family assisted under
this article leases a dwelling unit (other than a public housing
dwelling unit) that is owned by a housing access voucher local
administrator administering assistance to that individual or family
under this section, the commissioner shall require the unit of general
local government or another entity approved by the commissioner, to make
inspections required under section six hundred thirteen of this article
and rent determinations required under section six hundred fourteen of
this article. The housing access voucher local administrator shall be
responsible for any expenses of such inspections and determinations,
subject to the appropriation of funds for this purpose.

2. For purposes of this section, the term "owned by a housing access
voucher local administrator" means, with respect to a dwelling unit,
that the dwelling unit is in a project that is owned by such
administrator, by an entity wholly controlled by such administrator, or
by a limited liability company or limited partnership in which such
administrator (or an entity wholly controlled by such administrator)
holds a controlling interest in the managing member or general partner.
A dwelling unit shall not be deemed to be owned by a housing access
voucher local administrator for purposes of this section because such
administrator holds a fee interest as ground lessor in the property on
which the unit is situated, holds a security interest under a mortgage
or deed of trust on the unit, or holds a non-controlling interest in an
entity which owns the unit or in the managing member or general partner
of an entity which owns the unit.
