 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 March 20, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. PRETLOW -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Real Property Taxation

 AN ACT to amend the real property tax law, in relation to providing for
 the imposition of a civil penalty for the failure of a cooperative
 apartment corporation to credit the STAR exemption to the tenant-
 stockholders thereof and for the recoupment by such tenant-stockhold-
 ers of amounts due them

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subparagraph (iii) of paragraph (k) of subdivision 2 of
 2 section 425 of the real property tax law is amended by adding a new
 3 clause (C) to read as follows:
 4 (C)(I) The failure of any cooperative apartment corporation to comply
 5 with the provisions of this subparagraph shall be punishable by a civil
 6 penalty not to exceed five hundred dollars for each violation. Such
 7 civil penalty may be recovered in a court of competent jurisdiction by
 8 the county attorney of the county in which the subject real property is
 9 located; provided that such penalty may be recovered by the corporation
 10 counsel of a city if the subject real property is located in a county
 11 wholly contained within a city.
 12 (II) Commencing sixty days after a cooperative apartment corporation's
 13 receipt of a tax bill and, upon such failure, each tenant-stockholder
 14 denied such credit or payment may withhold from the cooperative apart-
 15 ment corporation any payments due from such tenant-stockholder to such
 16 cooperative apartment corporation for the following month or months
 17 until such credit or payment has been fully recouped by such tenant-
 18 stockholder.
 19 (III) The remedies afforded by subclauses (I) and (II) of this clause
 20 shall not lie if any such failure is attributable to an error on the
 21 part of an assessor or a taxing authority.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 A. 7066 2

 1 (IV) In any action or proceeding brought pursuant to subclause (I) of
 2 this clause, it shall be an affirmative defense that such failure is so
 3 attributable. If a cooperative apartment corporation brings a proceeding
 4 pursuant to article seventy-eight of the civil practice law and rules or
 5 an action for declaratory or injunctive relief or both forms of relief
 6 contesting such tax bill, any action or proceeding brought pursuant to
 7 subclause (I) of this clause shall be stayed by the court pending the
 8 determination of such action or proceeding brought by such cooperative
 9 apartment corporation. If such proceeding or action brought by such
 10 cooperative apartment corporation be determined in favor of such cooper-
 11 ative apartment corporation, such action or proceeding brought pursuant
 12 to subclause (I) of this clause shall thereupon be dismissed. If such
 13 proceeding or action brought by such cooperative apartment corporation
 14 be otherwise determined or concluded, such stay of such action or
 15 proceeding brought pursuant to subclause (I) of this clause shall be
 16 lifted by the court and the remedy afforded under subclause (II) of this
 17 clause shall thereupon lie.
 18 (V) The remedy afforded by subclause (II) of this clause shall not lie
 19 pending the outcome of such proceeding or actions if, within sixty days
 20 of receipt of the tax bill, the cooperative apartment corporation brings
 21 a proceeding pursuant to article seventy-eight of the civil practice law
 22 and
