Requiring tenant relocation services to the same community district, a nearby community district, or the same borough.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring tenant relocation services to the same community district, a nearby community district, or the same borough

This bill would require the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) to relocate tenants who lost their homes due to a fire or other emergency in the same or an immediately adjacent community district upon request. When no suitable accommodation is available in the same or immediately adjacent community district, the bill would require HPD to relocate such tenants to the nearest community district in the same borough, where possible.
