Summary

This bill would require the Mayor, in coordination with the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), New York Police Department (NYPD), and Department of Investigation (DOI), to submit to the Speaker of the Council and post online a monthly report tracking alleged and confirmed unauthorized occupancies of, and reclamation efforts concerning, NYCHA dwelling units. Each report would cover information from the previous month. The bill would require reporting on different stages of the reclamation process: initial reporting of unauthorized occupancy, active investigation, pending administrative and judicial proceedings, final determinations, and NYCHA’s recovery of possession of dwelling units.
