MINOR

The bill was renumbered from version A to version B and its procedural history was updated to reflect a new committee recommitment. The most significant substantive change is the removal of the amendment to the Administrative Code of the City of New York, which previously established specific civil penalties for housing standard violations. Consequently, the bill now only amends the Executive Law to address building and fire code violations, removing its direct authority to set fines for housing issues within the city.

Scope change

The bill's scope was narrowed from amending both the Executive Law and the Administrative Code to amending only the Executive Law. It no longer applies to the specific housing penalty framework previously set forth in the city's Administrative Code.

SCOPE

The amendment to Section 27-2115 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York was removed, eliminating the bill's direct modification of city housing penalty standards.

TECHNICAL

The bill number changed from 3819-A to 3819-B, and the explanatory text was updated to reflect a new committee recommitment and a recall of the bill from the Assembly.

REQUIREMENT

Specific penalty amounts for housing violations in multiple dwellings (ranging from $25 to $500 per day depending on hazard level) were removed from the text.
