Requires owners of certain multiple dwellings of three or more floors to provide priority status to senior citizens and disabled residents moving to lower floors.

This bill (A3478) requires owners of multi-unit apartment buildings with three or more floors (not in cooperative ownership) to give priority to seniors or disabled residents who need to move to a lower floor with the same number of bedrooms within the same building. Qualifying residents get first right to available units over other applicants, including non-disabled residents seeking lower-floor moves. Owners must post a sign explaining this priority policy. The rule does not override existing rent restrictions or income requirements for the building.
