Expands eligibility requirements for rent increase exemptions for persons with disabilities
This bill expands rent increase exemptions in New York City for residents with disabilities. It amends the definition of "eligible head of the household" to include people with disabilities (and their spouses or children) who qualify under city law, not just seniors aged 62+. Eligibility requires household income under annual limits tied to federal SSI benefits ($25,000 in 2025, increasing to $29,000 by 2029). The change specifically applies to properties with federally insured mortgages, directly affecting disabled residents in these housing units who meet income criteria.
