Summary

This law would require the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (“HPD”), in consultation with the Fire Department and Department of Buildings, to develop procedures to ensure that occupants of multiple dwellings are informed of the process for the issuance of residential vacate orders following fires, including information on their rights of occupancy and responsibilities of landlords, what may constitute harassment, and the process for rescinding vacate orders. HPD would also be required to designate a person on site to provide information to tenants in the designated citywide languages.
