Relates to requiring the re-inspection of dwellings with mold violations
This bill requires New York City to re-inspect dwellings with mold violations within specific timeframes after the initial violation notice: 30 days for non-hazardous mold, 15 days for hazardous mold, and 7 days for immediately hazardous mold. It directly affects tenants living in buildings with mold issues and the city's housing department, which must conduct these re-inspections. Key provisions include strict deadlines for re-inspections (no postponements allowed if a violation remained uncorrected after a prior re-inspection) and mandatory inspections within the set timelines after a violation is reported or corrected. The bill aims to ensure timely resolution of mold hazards in housing.
