Prohibits the use of a facial recognition system by a landlord on any residential premises
This bill makes it illegal for landlords in New York to use facial recognition systems or any data collected from them on residential properties, including apartments and homes. It directly affects all landlords managing residential buildings by banning the installation, access, or use of such technology. Violators face civil penalties up to $10,000, and tenants can sue for $1,000 per violation or actual damages, with the state attorney general also empowered to seek injunctions. The law applies immediately to all residential premises without exception.
