Relates to expanding the definition of interim multiple dwelling to provide protections for certain residents

This bill expands legal protections for long-term residents living in specific buildings known as interim multiple dwellings, which are often converted lofts. It updates the definition to include structures in a designated area of a large city that housed two or more families independently for at least twelve months between 2015 and 2016. The law ensures that these residents retain their protections even if the building loses some units or if the initial occupancy period was met before 1995, provided the remaining families have lived there since before late 1995. Additionally, the bill clarifies that non-residential spaces within these buildings cannot be used for housing until they receive a proper residential certificate of occupancy.
