Posting of a vacate order, re-occupancy of vacated dwellings, and the provision of relocation services.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to posting of a vacate order, re-occupancy of vacated dwellings, and the provision of relocation services

This bill would remove the time limitation for applying for relocation assistance and make clear that any tenant who moves out while a vacate order is in effect is entitled to appropriate relocation assistance from HPD. This legislation would also require posting of a sign at properties subject to a vacate order and would impose a penalty of at least $5,000 for each dwelling unit that is reoccupied while a vacate order is still in effect.
