Summary
This bill amends New York law to authorize mortgagees or lienors of abandoned multiple dwellings to apply for the appointment of a receiver to bring a building into compliance with applicable law. When a building is certified as abandoned, mortgagees and lienors must be notified and given 15 days to either commence foreclosure and move for a receiver appointment, or take possession and bring the building into compliance, within 90 days of appointment or taking possession (or longer by agreement with the department). If a mortgagee or lienor takes one of these actions, the department is prohibited from instituting proceedings unless the receiver application is denied or the receiver or mortgagee fails to bring the building into compliance within the specified timeframe. The bill takes effect 120 days after enactment and applies to proceedings commenced after that date.
