Elevator service outage accommodations

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to elevator service outage accommodations

This bill would require the owners of residential buildings (R-1 or R-2 occupancies) where an elevator is used for residential service, to provide reasonable accommodations during outages longer than a day when necessary for any affected resident with a disability. It further requires that a plan detailing the accommodations during a service outage be created and maintained by building owners and that a copy of the plan be provided to residents in advance of anticipated outages.
