This bill extends deadlines for tax abatements on eligible renovations to multiple dwelling buildings. It changes the deadline for completing eligible construction from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2026, and extends the period cities can grant tax abatements until June 30, 2026. The bill directly affects building owners making eligible improvements and local governments administering these tax breaks under the multiple dwelling law. It does not create new programs but provides additional time for compliance with existing tax abatement rules. The key change is the one-year extension to both construction completion dates and local government authorization periods.
Requires the inspection of non-fireproof buildings in a city having a population of one million or more every three years; requires compliance with the New York city housing maintenance code and the New York city construction codes; requires those dwellings not in compliance with such code at the time of inspection to make repairs or improvements necessary to comply with such standards within six months of such inspection, or a lien shall be placed upon the dwelling.

S 2433 establishes protections for residents and cooperatives when ground leases for apartment buildings expire. It requires cooperatives to dissolve properly within 10 days of lease expiration and automatically grants residents tenant status under New York's rent laws, ensuring their housing remains regulated. The bill also gives the cooperative a 120-day right to purchase the underlying land if the landowner sells, with specific notice and timing requirements for both parties. These changes directly affect ground lease residential co-ops and their residents in New York, ensuring continuity of housing and rent protections upon lease termination.

This bill would prevent mortgage lenders from penalizing borrowers who don't set high enough rental rates on properties covered by their mortgages. It voids any mortgage clause requiring minimum rents or punishing low rents, applying to all mortgages regardless of when they were created, renewed, or modified. The law directly affects property owners with mortgages who might face fees or default penalties for not meeting arbitrary rent minimums. This policy change ensures lenders cannot enforce such clauses as against public policy.
