The sponsor's argument

Why Leroy Comrie says this is needed

In recent years, New York State has experienced federal disaster decla- rations across every county, billions of dollars in storm damage and post-flood repairs, and in some instances the loss of life. Climate change has made flood risk no longer exclusive to those who live along waterfronts or in the floodplain and extreme whether events are project- ed to grow in frequency and intensity. As well as the harm caused by flooding, New York City is facing the challenge of "combined sewer overflow." In much of the City, stormwater runoff is combined with wastewater and carried through the sewer system to wastewater treatment plants, but when there are heavy rains sewage travels directly to waterways and/or the result is also contaminated water in streets, basements, or other below grade facilities. This poses both public health risks as well as causing ecological harm. By providing a partial property tax abatement for projects undertaken by residential property owners in NYC, this legislation seeks to incentiv- ize the adoption of mitigation measures for the harm caused by flooding events and combined sewer overflow.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
