| * | Diana I. Ayala | | | Records of lead-based paint investigations. | Introduction | This bill would require property owners to produce records for the immediately previous year, including the annual notice, and, where appropriate, investigations conducted by such owner, including x-ray fluorescence analysis after August 1, 2025, whenever a violation for lead-based paint hazards has been issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (“HPD”). This bill would establish a process for building owners to correct violations for the keeping or producing of records for 10 years. When a building owner receives a violation for record keeping, they can correct the violation by submitting a violation dismissal request form with the required 10 years of records. Alternatively, the owner may submit a violation dismissal request form with documentation demonstrating the owner’s record keeping for at least 3 consecutive years and, upon the HPD finding this documentation sufficient, the owner must pay $1,000 for each year for which the documentation is not submitted. | | |

| * | Diana I. Ayala | | | Remediation of lead-based paint in dwelling units in multiple dwellings. | Introduction | This bill would require the lead-based paint abatement activities currently required upon turnover, including the removal of lead-based paint on friction surfaces on doors and windows, to be completed in all applicable dwelling units where a child under the age of six resides, by July 1, 2027. If an owner fails to perform this work, they are subject to a Class C violation and are required to produce appropriate records for the immediately previous year. If the occupant of the dwelling unit must temporarily relocate to safely perform the remediation work prior to turnover, but refuses to relocate, the owner may submit documentation to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (“HPD”) to show its good faith effort to comply with the requirement and be exempt from this requirement upon HPD approval. Upon turnover of the unit, the owner would still be required to perform the required turnover remediation work. | | |

| * | Carlina Rivera | | | Lead-based paint hazards in common areas of dwellings. | Introduction | The proposed legislation would make the existence of peeling lead-based paint in any common area of a multiple dwelling where a child under the age of six resides a class C immediately hazardous violation and would require property owners to inspect the common areas of multiple dwellings for lead-based paint hazards. The legislation would also require department inspectors to inspect common areas along their path of travel for lead-based paint hazards on their way to inspecting a dwelling unit in an apartment constructed prior to 1960 where a child under the age of six resides. | | |

| * | Rafael Salamanca, Jr. | | | Reporting on objections to orders for the abatement or remediation of lead conditions. | Introduction | This bill would require the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (“DOHMH”) to submit to the Mayor and the Speaker of the Council, and make publicly available on DOHMH’s website, a semiannual report on the number of objections filed by multiple dwelling owners to DOHMH lead abatement orders. The report would be required to include the number of objections filed by the New York City Housing Authority and to specify the reasons why any objections are found to have merit, including faulty testing or paint sampling, or an exemption based on the dwelling’s construction date. | | |
