Extends the answer time when a major capital improvement rent increase has been filed to ninety days
This bill extends the time tenants have to respond to applications for major capital improvement rent increases in New York City from 60 to 90 days after receiving notice. It directly affects tenants who receive notices about proposed rent hikes tied to building renovations or upgrades. The key change modifies multiple sections of city housing law to replace "sixty" with "ninety" days in the timeline for tenant responses. The bill does not alter rent calculation methods or approval criteria, only the response window for tenants. This is a procedural adjustment to provide tenants with additional time to address such applications.
