Int 0839-2026 *Pierina Ana Sanchez  Making the certification of no harassment pilot program permanent and adding criteria for inclusion of certain buildings in the program.IntroductionThis bill would make the Certification of No Harassment (CONH) pilot program permanent, with a new program list published by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) every 3 years beginning on April 15, 2027. This bill would require that the building qualification index, used as a criterion for buildings on the program list, be recalculated every 3 years. Additionally, this bill would require buildings with the same owner, indicated by information provided on annual building registrations, as buildings where a final determination of harassment has occurred within the prior 60 months or buildings where a CONH has been denied in the prior 60 months, be added to the program list. This bill would require tenants be notified of a building’s application for a CONH via a posting in the building’s common area. This bill would also create a new exception for covered work for routine cosmetic work and maintenance, provided that such work does not require a permit.Hearing Held by Committee  Action details Not available
