Relates to requiring thirty days notice be provided to tenants prior to the beginning of work on a major capital improvement
S 1020 requires landlords in New York City to provide tenants with 90 days' written notice before starting major capital improvements, such as roof, plumbing, or heating system upgrades. This applies to all tenants in rent-regulated buildings, including those in buildings with 35 or more units. The notice must clearly state the total monthly rent increase amount and the first month the increase will take effect. This amendment to housing regulations ensures tenants are informed before rent changes occur due to building upgrades.

MINOR
This bill updates the legislative version number from B to C and clarifies the formatting of committee actions. The most significant policy change is the addition of an emergency work exemption, which removes the 30-day tenant notice requirement for repairs that address immediate hazards to life, health, or safety, while requiring faster notice (within 72 hours) for these urgent cases.
Scope change
The bill's scope regarding tenant notice requirements was narrowed by creating a specific exception for emergency repairs, whereas previously all major capital improvements required a 30-day notice.
REQUIREMENT
Added an exemption to the 30-day tenant notice rule for emergency work defined as necessary to correct immediately hazardous conditions or prevent imminent danger to life, health, or safety.
Established a new, shorter notice timeline (within 72 hours of permit pull or work start) specifically for the emergency work exemption.
TECHNICAL
Updated the bill version identifier from '1020--B' to '1020--C' and adjusted the page number in the footer.
