 6 teen of the executive law, specifically that utility services are made
 7 available to such dwelling. A landlord's failure to be in compliance
 8 with such act prior to rental or lease of such property, shall result in
 9 penalties pursuant to sections 145.15 and 145.20 of the penal law.

 14 program offered by the utility company that services their rented or
 15 leased property that would revert all utility accounts to the landlord's
 16 name and keep utility services connected in between tenants.
 17 2. This section shall not apply if the utility company in the rented
 18 or leased property's area does not offer such a program.
 19 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
