Relates to willful neglect of real property prevention
S 6028 (New York City Charter amendment) requires landlords to address repeated health/safety issues in rental properties. If tenants file three or more verified complaints about unsafe conditions within 120 days and repairs aren't made, the city can sue to force repairs or stop destruction of essential systems. Landlords must reimburse the city for repair costs (funded via housing bonds) within 90 days, or face property liens. Tenants may choose relocation to comparable housing at the same rent or receive relocation compensation. The city will also publish an "imminent danger" list for properties with over five annual complaints.
