This bill extends the deadline for applying for green roof tax abatements in New York City to March 15, 2030. It allows property owners in the city with a population of one million or more to claim financial incentives for installing green roofs, with specific dollar amounts per square foot and a five-year window to use any unused tax savings. The legislation also maintains existing caps on the total amount of abatements available annually and continues the program through the end of the 2030 tax year.

This bill extends the Economic Transformation and Facility Redevelopment Program until December 31, 2031, allowing correctional facilities selected for closure between 2011 and 2031 to continue receiving tax credits. The program provides financial incentives to help these facilities transition or redevelop after they are no longer needed for housing inmates. By updating the expiration date, the legislation ensures that eligible correctional facilities can access these tax benefits for a longer period than previously allowed.
This bill extends the time tenants have to respond to applications for major capital improvement rent increases in New York City from 60 to 90 days after receiving notice. It directly affects tenants who receive notices about proposed rent hikes tied to building renovations or upgrades. The key change modifies multiple sections of city housing law to replace "sixty" with "ninety" days in the timeline for tenant responses. The bill does not alter rent calculation methods or approval criteria, only the response window for tenants. This is a procedural adjustment to provide tenants with additional time to address such applications.
Enacts the "independent senior housing resident freedom of choice act" to authorize persons in independent housing, shelters and residences to receive services they could otherwise receive if they resided in a private residence.
This bill requires new or significantly expanding hyperscale data centers (over 10,000 sq ft/5+ MW) to fund residential energy upgrades that offset their electricity demand. It directs these funds toward installing cold-climate heat pumps, rooftop solar, and battery storage in New York homes with outdated systems, prioritizing low-income and disadvantaged communities. NYSERDA will administer the program, ensuring projects align with state climate goals and provide free installations. The funds flow into a dedicated "Clean Home Energy Offset Fund" managed by NYSERDA, with data center operators required to submit annual compliance reports.
This bill (S 947) prohibits residential landlords from charging tenants fees for using electronic rent payment methods like online portals or automated clearing house (ACH) systems. It requires landlords to offer at least one fee-free payment option (such as cash or check) and bans them from requiring electronic payment as the sole method. Landlords also cannot charge fees for tenants who choose not to use electronic systems. The law applies directly to tenants and landlords in New York residential leases and takes effect immediately.
