Summary
This New York bill requires the Division of Housing and Community Renewal to publish the results of its annual audits of approved temporary major capital improvement increase applications on its website. The division already conducts annual audits reviewing twenty-five percent of approved applications, including individual inspections and document review to ensure compliance with legal obligations and in-person confirmation that improvements were completed as described. The bill adds a requirement that the division conspicuously make available and annually publish these audit results on its website. This requirement applies to temporary major capital improvement increases under city rent and rehabilitation law, emergency tenant protection, and emergency housing rent control laws.
