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 loft buildings in large cities. It defines these protected spaces as interim multiple dwellings if they were occupied by at least two or three independent families for twelve consecutive months between 2015 and 2016, with an additional requirement for three families prior to 1996 for some cases. The law ensures that remaining residents continue to receive these protections even if the total number of occupied units in the building decreases. Additionally, any non-residential areas within these buildings must obtain a residential certificate of occupancy before being used for housing.
