Requiring landlords leasing commercial space for certain uses to provide to the tenant a certificate of occupancy and to disclose any liens, fines, or encumbrances that affect title, use or physical condition of the property or the interest of the lessee.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring landlords leasing commercial space for certain uses to provide to the tenant a certificate of occupancy and to disclose any liens, fines, or encumbrances that affect title, use or physical condition of the property or the interest of the lessee

This proposed local law is meant to address the problem of auto repair businesses having to shut down due to inappropriate certificates of occupancy or fines, liens, and other encumbrances on the property due to the fact that dishonest landlords did not inform tenants of these issues prior to entering into a lease agreement.
