A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to notification to property owners of requests for evaluation for landmark status.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Chapter 3 of title 25 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended by adding a new section 25-323 to read as follows:
§ 25-323 Request for evaluation; notification. a. Any member of the public may propose individual properties and districts for landmark designation by submitting a request for evaluation. The commission at its discretion may consider such properties or districts for landmark designation in the manner prescribed by section 25-303.
b. No later than ten days after the submission of a request for evaluation of an individual property, the owner of such property shall be notified in writing by the commission. Such notice shall be sent to the owner or owners at his or her or their last known address or addresses, as the same appear in the records of the office of the commissioner of finance or if there is no name in such records, such notice may be sent to the street address of the property in question, addressed to "Owner." The failure by the commission to give such notice shall not invalidate or affect any actions or proceedings pursuant to this chapter relating to such property.
§ 2. This local law shall become effective one-hundred twenty days after its enactment; provided, however, that the commission shall promulgate rules in accordance with the provisions of this local law and such other rules as may be necessary for the purpose of implementing and carrying out the provisions of this local law prior to its effective date.
