S 4474 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Requires quarterly inspections of homeless shelters

This bill requires the state Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance to create rules mandating that homeless shelters in New York undergo at least four unannounced inspections each year - once per quarter. The inspections will be conducted by the state department or local social services districts. The law directly affects all facilities providing shelter for homeless individuals statewide by requiring regular, surprise safety and operational checks. It establishes a concrete, annual inspection schedule without changing shelter funding or services.
