This local law establishes a citywide housing and resource database. The database will compile comprehensive information on housing units, including affordable housing, available resources for tenants and landlords, and housing-related services across all five boroughs. Its purpose is to enhance transparency, improve access to housing information, and facilitate better planning and resource allocation for housing initiatives in New York City. The database will include details such as unit size, rent, affordability restrictions, available subsidies, and contact information for relevant agencies. It will be accessible to the public, with certain sensitive information anonymized or restricted as appropriate. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) will be responsible for its creation and maintenance.
