Prognosis reads this bill's own signals — stage, sponsorship breadth, committee status, recorded votes and cross-state momentum. Odds come from a model trained on which bills have become law.

In plain language

Landlords must allow tenant-hired engineers or architects to inspect major improvements in certain buildings.

This bill requires landlords of multiple dwellings with six or more units to permit tenant-hired professionals to inspect major improvements. The inspection must occur during normal business hours and after notifying the landlord.

What this means for you
  • Workers: Workers employed in building inspections may see increased demand for their services due to this legislation.
  • Families: This means families living in multiple dwellings can have their own professionals evaluate significant building improvements.

Summary

Provides that no landlord shall deny access to a licensed professional engineer or licensed registered architect hired by any tenant or tenant association representing tenants of a multiple dwelling of six units or more for the purpose of conducting an inspection of a major capital improvement for which an application for a maximum rent adjustment has been filed by the landlord; provides that such inspection shall be conducted after notice to the landlord and during normal business hours; provides for the filing of such inspection report by such tenants with the New York city rent agency or the state division of housing and community renewal for consideration in such application's determination.
