The administrative code of the city of New York is amended by 2 adding a new section 26-511.2 to read as follows: 3 § 26-511.2 The local regulated housing restoration adjustment. a. The 4 division of housing and community renewal, the "division" shall estab- 5 lish a notification procedure and documentation submission guidelines 6 for the local regulated housing restoration adjustment. Documentation 7 to qualify for the local regulated housing restoration adjustment shall 8 be limited to: 9 (1) XRF test results demonstrating a lead-free housing accommodation 10 under applicable local definitions; 11 (2) any required tenant protection plans or similar submission in 12 connection with such restoration; 13 (3) any required contractor licenses; 14 (4) list and specifications of new electric appliances installed; 15 (5) before and after photos; 16 (6) lease or rental agreement listing new legal regulated rent; 17 (7) evidence of renting to a housing subsidy voucher holder, or the 18 legal regulated rent amount or amounts for substantially similar unit or 19 units as defined by section 26-513.1 of this chapter; 20 (8) evidence of renting to a housing subsidy voucher holder, or 21 documentation confirming that, as of the date of the commencement of the 22 incoming tenant's lease, any physical condition within the unit that was 23 the basis for a previously issued violation has been corrected; and 24 (9) for units vacated after the effective date of this section, a form 25 to be promulgated by the division and signed by the previous tenant 26 affirming that the vacatur prior to the local regulated housing restora- 27 tion adjustment was voluntary and not the result of unlawful owner 28 harassment. In considering the sufficiency of alternate documentation, 29 and notwithstanding other potentially sufficient documentation, vacatur 30 shall be presumed voluntary and not the result of owner harassment when 31 (i) the owner recovered possession of the unit through judicial 32 proceedings, (ii) the owner demonstrates abandonment of the unit through 33 electronic communications, recordings, or other evidence of voluntary 34 vacatur, or (iii) the owner demonstrates the previous tenant died and 35 the unit was not occupied by a lawful successor. 36 b. The local regulated housing restoration adjustment shall not be 37 permitted: 38 (1) for units that are rented within a twenty-four-month period after 39 an arm's length transfer of ownership; 40 (2) for units that are rented within a thirty-six-month period after 41 determination by the division that the owner has engaged in unlawful 42 harassment with respect to the unit; or 43 (3) for units in buildings subject to housing preservation and devel- 44 opment's alternate enforcement program. 45 c. The division shall establish an audit process to review a percent- 46 age, as established by the division, of housing accommodations that 47 register adjusted legal regulated rents under the local regulated hous- 48 ing restoration adjustment. The division's established audit process 49 shall be subject to the following requirements: 50 (1) any audit shall be limited to: (i) confirmation that documentation 51 set forth in subdivision a of this section has been submitted; (ii) 52 visual inspection of the subject unit; and (iii) unless rented to a 53 housing subsidy voucher holder, review of the unit's registered rent in 54 comparison to the legal regulated rents of substantially similar housing 55 accommodations in the same geographic area considering the same factors 56 set forth in section 26-513.1 of this chapter, including the owner'sS. 6352--B 3 1 right to submit the legal regulated rent of a substantially similar unit 2 or units. Such audit shall be initiated within one year of the filing of 3 an annual apartment registration indicating an adjustment to the legal 4 regulated rent under the local regulated housing restoration adjustment; 5 and 6 (2) if an audit under this subdivision determines that an owner has 7 failed to submit documentation set forth in subdivision a of this 8 section and the owner then fails to submit any missing documentation 9 after sixty days' written notice from the division, or if an audit under 10 this subdivision determines the local housing restoration adjustment 11 exceeds the legal rent for all substantially similar housing accommo- 12 dations as defined by this section, the division shall then set the 13 subject unit's legal regulated rent at an amount equal to the legal 14 regulated rent for a substantially similar unit in the same geographic 15 area, provided, however, that the legal regulated rents for units 16 subject to housing subsidy vouchers shall be established at the contract 17 rent amount approved by the agency administering the voucher. 18 (3) Any required refunds shall be made in accordance with section 19 26-513.1 of this chapter. 20 d. To encourage rental of units subject to a local housing restoration 21 adjustment to individuals and families with housing subsidy vouchers or 22 that are in communities of need, the division shall establish incen- 23 tives, in addition to those already contained in this section, for hous- 24 ing providers who rent to housing subsidy voucher holders located in 25 very low- and low-income zip codes. 26 e. Access to the documentation submitted as part of the local regu- 27 lated housing restoration adjustment shall be governed by the same laws 28 governing access to building and apartment registrations filed with the 29 division. 30 § 3. The administrative code of the city of New York is amended by 31 adding a new section 26-513.1 to read as follows: 32 § 26-513.1 Application for adjustment of local regulated housing 33 restoration adjustment. a. The tenant of a housing accommodation that 34 was vacant on, or became vacant after, June fourteenth, two thousand 35 nineteen, and has been subject to the local regulated housing restora- 36 tion adjustment, may file with the commissioner of housing and community 37 renewal within one hundred twenty days after notice has been received 38 under subdivision c of this section an application for the adjustment of 39 the rent for such housing accommodation. Such applications shall be 40 subject to the following: 41 (1) in the application, the tenant must allege that the local regu- 42 lated housing restoration adjustment rent exceeds the rent for substan- 43 tially similar units within the same geographic area. 44 (2) in determining an application filed pursuant to this section, the 45 commissioner shall only consider legal regulated rents for substantially 46 similar housing accommodations within a one-mile radius of the subject 47 unit in the same borough or applicable municipal subdivision. Substan- 48 tially similar housing accommodations are those rent-stabilized units 49 with similar room counts and square footage, similar levels of code 50 compliance, including state laws, local laws and codes for health, safe- 51 ty, and environmental sustainability, similar regulatory status, similar 52 apartment conditions and quality of fixtures and finishes, similar unit 53 and building amenities, similar quality and condition of the building 54 and common areas, and with vacancy or renewal leases starting within 55 twelve months from the start date of the complaining tenant's vacancy 56 lease. For purposes of considering legal regulated rents of similarS. 6352--B 4 1 housing accommodations, the geographic area may be expanded by incre- 2 ments of one-quarter mile radii as many times as necessary to find a 3 substantially similar housing accommodation located in the same borough 4 or applicable municipal subdivision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any 5 local regulated housing restoration adjustment rent amount for units in 6 buildings with tenancies subject to housing subsidy vouchers that does 7 not exceed the contract rent amounts approved by the local housing agen- 8 cy administering the voucher shall be determined to be fair. 9 (3) the owner of the housing accommodation subject to an application 10 under this section shall be given an opportunity to submit proof of 11 legal regulated rents for up to three substantially similar housing 12 accommodations, in addition to any already submitted as part of the 13 notification procedure under section 26-511.2 of this chapter. 14 (4) when the local regulated housing restoration adjustment rent 15 amount is determined to exceed the legal regulated rent for a substan- 16 tially similar housing accommodation as defined by this section, the 17 commissioner of housing and community renewal shall order that the legal 18 regulated rent for the subject unit shall be equal to the legal regu- 19 lated rent for a substantially similar housing accommodation in the same 20 geographic area, provided, however, that the legal regulated rents for 21 units in buildings with tenancies subject to housing subsidy vouchers 22 shall be equal to the contract rent amount approved by the local housing 23 authority that issues the voucher. Any required refunds shall be made by 24 the owner in cash or as a credit against unpaid rent over a period not 25 to exceed six months. 26 b. Notwithstanding subdivision a of this section, provided that the 27 owner has submitted to the division documentation in accordance with 28 subdivision a of section 26-511.2 of this chapter, the division shall 29 only determine whether the tenancy is subject to a housing subsidy 30 voucher and, if not, whether the rent charged to the first tenant after 31 the local regulated housing restoration adjustment is supported by the 32 rent for a substantially similar unit. Any documentation deficiencies 33 shall be resolved through the audit process set forth in section 34 26-511.2 of this chapter. 35 c. In the lease execution package for the first lease after the legal 36 rent was adjusted under the local regulated housing restoration adjust- 37 ment, the owner shall give notice, both in the lease and subsequently in 38 writing by certified mail, or by electronic delivery if the tenant has 39 opted to receive electronic delivery of documents, to the tenant of such 40 housing accommodation on a form prescribed by the commissioner of hous- 41 ing and community renewal that the local regulated housing restoration 42 adjustment was applied, including notification of the prior legal regu- 43 lated rent, a description of work completed, the building address and 44 legal regulated rent amounts for at least one and up to three substan- 45 tially similar units, and such tenant's right to file an application 46 challenging the new legal regulated rent of such housing accommodation. 47 § 4. Paragraph 5 of subdivision d of section 6 of section 4 of chapter 48 576 of the laws of 1974, constituting the emergency tenant protection 49 act of nineteen seventy-four, as amended by chapter 102 of the laws of 50 1984, is amended and a new paragraph 6 is added to read as follows: 51 (5) as an alternative to the hardship application provided under para- 52 graph four of this subdivision, owners of buildings acquired by the same 53 owner or a related entity owned by the same principals three years prior 54 to the date of application may apply to the division for increases in 55 excess of the level of applicable guideline increases established under 56 this law based on a finding by the commissioner that such guidelineS. 6352--B 5 1 increases are not sufficient to enable the owner to maintain an annual 2 gross rent income for such building which exceeds the annual operating 3 expenses of such building by a sum equal to at least five percent of 4 such gross rent. For the purposes of this paragraph, operating expenses 5 shall consist of the actual, reasonable, costs of fuel, labor, utili- 6 ties, taxes, other than income or corporate franchise taxes, fees, 7 permits, necessary contracted services and non-capital repairs, insur- 8 ance, parts and supplies, management fees and other administrative costs 9 and mortgage interest. For the purposes of this paragraph, mortgage 10 interest shall be deemed to mean interest on a bona fide mortgage 11 including an allocable portion of charges related thereto. Criteria to 12 be considered in determining a bona fide mortgage other than an institu- 13 tional mortgage shall include; condition of the property, location of 14 the property, the existing mortgage market at the time the mortgage is 15 placed, the term of the mortgage, the amortization rate, the principal 16 amount of the mortgage, security and other terms and conditions of the 17 mortgage. The commissioner shall set a rental value for any unit occu- 18 pied by the owner or a person related to the owner or unoccupied at the 19 owner's choice for more than one month at the last regulated rent plus 20 the minimum number of guidelines increases or, if no such regulated rent 21 existed or is known, the commissioner shall impute a rent consistent 22 with other rents in the building. The amount of hardship increase shall 23 be such as may be required to maintain the annual gross rent income as 24 provided by this paragraph. The division shall not grant a hardship 25 application under this paragraph or paragraph four of this subdivision 26 for a period of three years subsequent to granting a hardship applica- 27 tion under the provisions of this paragraph. The collection of any 28 increase in the rent for any housing accommodation pursuant to this 29 paragraph shall not exceed six percent in any year from the effective 30 date of the order granting the increase over the rent set forth in the 31 schedule of gross rents, with collectability of any dollar excess above 32 said sum to be spread forward in similar increments and added to the 33 rent as established or set in future years. No application shall be 34 approved unless the owner's equity in such building exceeds five percent 35 of: (i) the arms length purchase price of the property; (ii) the cost of 36 any capital improvements for which the owner has not collected a 37 surcharge; (iii) any repayment of principal of any mortgage or loan used 38 to finance the purchase of the property or any capital improvements for 39 which the owner has not collected a surcharge; and (iv) any increase in 40 the equalized assessed value of the property which occurred subsequent 41 to the first valuation of the property after purchase by the owner. For 42 the purposes of this paragraph, owner's equity shall mean the sum of (i) 43 the purchase price of the property less the principal of any mortgage or 44 loan used to finance the purchase of the property, (ii) the cost of any 45 capital improvement for which the owner has not collected a surcharge 46 less the principal of any mortgage or loan used to finance said improve- 47 ment, (iii) any repayment of the principal of any mortgage or loan used 48 to finance the purchase of the property or any capital improvement for 49 which the owner has not collected a surcharge, and (iv) any increase in 50 the equalized assessed value of the property which occurred subsequent 51 to the first valuation of the property after purchase by the owner[.]; 52 or 53 (6) provides that, notwithstanding any other provision of this act to 54 the contrary, when a housing accommodation subject to this act has been 55 vacated after continuous tenancy or occupancy of ten years or more prior 56 to vacancy, and the owner has submitted documentation to the divisionS. 6352--B 6 1 demonstrating restoration of the unit as set forth in subdivision a-1 of 2 section ten of this act, the new legal regulated rent shall be the rent 3 agreed to by the owner and first tenant after such restoration and 4 reserved in a lease or other rental agreement; provided that such new 5 legal regulated rent may be adjusted on audit by the division under 6 subdivision a-1 of section ten of this act, or on application of a 7 tenant under subdivision d-1 of section nine of this act. The legal 8 regulated rent adjustment set forth in this paragraph shall be known as 9 the local regulated housing restoration adjustment. 10 § 5. Section 10 of section 4 of chapter 576 of the laws of 1974, 11 constituting the emergency tenant protection act of nineteen seventy- 12 four is amended by adding a new subdivision a-1 to read as follows: 13 a-1. The division of housing and community renewal shall establish a 14 notification procedure and documentation submission guidelines for the 15 local regulated housing restoration adjustment. a. Documentation to 16 qualify for the local regulated housing restoration adjustment shall be 17 limited to: 18 (1) XRF test results demonstrating a lead-free housing accommodation 19 under applicable local definitions; 20 (2) any required tenant protection plans or similar submission in 21 connection with such restoration; 22 (3) any required contractor licenses; 23 (4) list and specifications of new electric appliances installed; 24 (5) before and after photos; 25 (6) lease or rental agreement listing new legal regulated rent; 26 (7) evidence of renting to a housing subsidy voucher holder, or the 27 legal regulated rent amount or amounts for substantially similar unit or 28 units as defined by section 26-513.1 of the administrative code of the 29 city of New York; 30 (8) evidence of renting to a housing subsidy voucher holder, or 31 documentation confirming that, as of the date of the commencement of the 32 incoming tenant's lease, any physical condition within the unit that was 33 the basis for a previously issued violation has been corrected; and 34 (9) for units vacated after the effective date of this subdivision, a 35 form to be promulgated by the division and signed by the previous tenant 36 affirming that the vacatur prior to the local regulated housing restora- 37 tion adjustment was voluntary and not the result of unlawful owner 38 harassment. In considering the sufficiency of alternate documentation, 39 and notwithstanding other potentially sufficient documentation, vacatur 40 shall be presumed voluntary and not the result of owner harassment when 41 (i) the owner recovered possession of the unit through judicial 42 proceedings, (ii) the owner demonstrates abandonment of the unit through 43 electronic communications, recordings, or other evidence of voluntary 44 vacatur, or (iii) the owner demonstrates the previous tenant died and 45 the unit was not occupied by a lawful successor. 46 b. The local regulated housing restoration adjustment shall not be 47 permitted: 48 (1) for units that are rented within a twenty-four-month period after 49 an arm's length transfer of ownership; 50 (2) for units that are rented within a thirty-six-month period after 51 determination by the division that the owner has engaged in unlawful 52 harassment with respect to the unit; or 53 (3) for units in buildings subject to housing preservation and devel- 54 opment's alternate enforcement program. 55 c. The division of housing and community renewal shall establish an 56 audit process to review a percentage, as established by the division, ofS. 6352--B 7 1 housing accommodations that register adjusted legal regulated rents 2 under the local regulated housing restoration adjustment. The divi- 3 sion's established audit process shall be subject to the following 4 requirements: 5 (1) any audit shall be limited subdivision to: (i) confirmation that 6 documentation set forth in paragraph a of this subdivision has been 7 submitted, (ii) visual inspection of the subject unit, and (iii) unless 8 rented to a housing subsidy voucher holder, review of the unit's regis- 9 tered rent in comparison to the legal regulated rents of substantially 10 similar housing accommodations in the same geographic area considering 11 the same factors set forth in subdivision d-1 of section nine of this 12 act, including the owner's right to submit the legal regulated rent of a 13 substantially similar unit or units. Such audit shall be initiated with- 14 in one year of the filing of an annual apartment registration indicating 15 an adjustment to the legal regulated rent under the local regulated 16 housing restoration adjustment; and 17 (2) if an audit under this subdivision determines that an owner has 18 failed to submit documentation set forth in paragraph a of this subdivi- 19 sion and the owner then fails to submit any missing documentation after 20 sixty days' written notice from the division, or if an audit under this 21 subdivision determines the local housing restoration adjustment exceeds 22 the legal rent for all substantially similar housing accommodations as 23 defined by this section, the division shall then set the subject unit's 24 legal regulated rent at an amount equal to the legal regulated rent for 25 a substantially similar unit in the same geographic area, provided, 26 however, that the legal regulated rents for units subject to housing 27 subsidy vouchers shall be established at the contract rent amount 28 approved by the agency administering the voucher. 29 (3) Any required refunds shall be made in accordance with section 30 26-513.1 of the administrative code of the city of New York. 31 d. To encourage rental of units subject to a local housing restoration 32 adjustment to individuals and families with housing subsidy vouchers or 33 that are in communities of need, the division shall establish incen- 34 tives, in addition to those already contained in this section, for hous- 35 ing providers who rent to housing subsidy voucher holders located in 36 very low- and low-income zip codes. 37 e. Access to the documentation submitted as part of the local regu- 38 lated housing restoration adjustment shall be governed by the same laws 39 governing access to building and apartment registrations filed with the 40 division. 41 § 6. Section 9 of section 4 of chapter 576 of the laws of 1974, 42 constituting the emergency tenant protection act of nineteen seventy- 43 four is amended by adding a new subdivision d-1 to read as follows: 44 d-1.
