A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to records of lead-based paint investigations
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Section 27-2056.17 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended by adding new subdivisions b-1 and f in alphanumerical order to read as follows:
b-1. When the department issues a violation pursuant to section 27-2056.6 for a dwelling unit where a child of applicable age resides, the department shall notify the owner of the multiple dwelling where the dwelling unit is located that the owner shall, within 45 days of the department’s notice, provide to the department records of the annual notice and, where appropriate, records of investigations conducted by such owner, for the immediately previous year. On and after August 1, 2025, the department shall require all records of any x-ray fluorescence analysis conducted pursuant to subdivision a-1 of section 27-2056.4. The failure to furnish such records shall be a separate violation of this section. Nothing in this subdivision shall affect the validity of a certification of correction of a lead-based paint hazard violation issued pursuant to section 27-2056.6.
f. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a violation issued to an owner of a multiple dwelling pursuant to section 27-2056.4, 27-2056.7, or 27-2056.17 which requires keeping or producing records for 10 years shall be dismissed as having been corrected if the owner submits: (i) a violation dismissal request form for such violation with the required consecutive 10 years of records, including such records for the year in which the owner is submitting the dismissal request; or (ii) the appropriate violation dismissal request form for such violation with documentation demonstrating that the owner has kept the required records for a period of at least 3 consecutive years, including such records for the year in which the owner is submitting the dismissal request, and upon notification from the department that such submitted documentation is sufficient, a payment of $1,000 for each year of the 10 years that the owner does not submit documentation.
§ 2. This local law takes effect September 1, 2024.
