Permitting dwelling occupants to postpone indoor allergen hazard inspections until after the COVID-19 state of emergency, and providing for the repeal of such provision upon the expiration thereof.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to permitting dwelling occupants to postpone indoor allergen hazard inspections until after the COVID-19 state of emergency, and providing for the repeal of such provision upon the expiration thereof

This bill would permit an occupant of a dwelling unit to request the owner of the unit to postpone an annual investigation for indoor allergen hazards until a maximum of one year after the end of the COVID-19 state of emergency. However, an owner would not be relieved of the requirement to investigate a unit absent an occupant’s request for postponement.
