The New York City Council adopted a suite of legislative measures on July 14, 2025, aimed at enhancing tenant protections and accountability for landlords following residential emergencies. Int. No. 607-A mandates the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) to relocate tenants displaced by fires or other emergencies to suitable accommodations within the same or an adjacent community district upon request, or the nearest community district in the same borough if necessary. Int. No. 749-A requires the Mayor to establish a centralized agency or office responsible for providing comprehensive support to residents displaced by emergencies, acting as a single point of contact and facilitating communication regarding reoccupation. Int. No. 750-A obligates the Department of Buildings (DOB) to annually report on violation correction times in residential buildings and requires property owners seeking demolition after a vacate order to document efforts to resolve prior violations. Additionally, the Council passed Resolution 307, urging the New York State Legislature to enact a law limiting 'loss of rents' insurance collection for landlords who fail to make timely repairs to uninhabitable units (within three months). Resolution 802 further calls on the State Legislature to pass S.3886/A.5427, which would mandate building owners responsible for fires leading to vacate orders to cover temporary housing costs for displaced tenants until repairs are complete. These measures collectively address critical gaps in tenant support and landlord responsibility, taking effect 180 or 270 days after becoming law.
