This is a request, not a law. The City Council is asking the New York State Legislature and the Governor to act, because the subject is outside the city's authority. Passing it commits the city to a position; it does not change the rule.
Summary
Mandating that any owner intending to sell a multi-unit residential dwelling, must first make a fairly appraised offer of sale to the tenants within the residence before making any sale offers to third parties.
