The sponsor's argument

Why James Skoufis says this is needed

This bill aims to enhance tenant protections by increasing transparency within the code enforcement system, ensuring that absentee and negligent landlords are held accountable for housing violations. Currently, tenants who file complaints often receive no follow-up regarding the outcome of their report-they are not informed whether a violation was identified, what corrective measures were mandated, or the deadline for compliance. Under existing law, violation orders are only required to be provided to landlords, leaving tenants in the dark about the status of their complaint. By mandating that complainants also receive copies of violation orders, this legislation will improve transparency, bolster public confidence in the enforcement process, and empower tenants to advocate for safe living conditions. Providing tenants with this information will also enhance accountability, as those directly affected by hazardous housing condi- tions will be able to monitor compliance and notify local authorities if a landlord fails to remedy a violation within the prescribed timeframe. This bill builds upon recent legislative efforts to deter chronic code violations, including the imposition of higher fines on repeat offen- ders. By strengthening enforcement mechanisms and improving tenant access to critical information, this measure will further ensure that all New Yorkers have access to safe and habitable housing. PRIOR HISTORY: New Bill.

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.
