 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 January 23, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. ROSENTHAL -- read once and referred to the
 Committee on Housing

 AN ACT to amend the emergency tenant protection act of nineteen seven-
 ty-four, in relation to limited-profit housing companies and other
 buildings or structures which received project-based rental assistance

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

 1 Section 1. Legislative findings and declaration of emergency. The
 2 legislature hereby finds and declares that the serious public emergency
 3 which led to the enactment of the existing laws regulating residential
 4 rents and evictions continues to exist; that such laws would better
 5 serve the public interest if certain changes were made thereto, includ-
 6 ing extending to certain cities, towns and villages the authority to
 7 provide for the regulation of rents and evictions with regard to housing
 8 accommodations that cease or have ceased to be regulated pursuant to
 9 article 2 of the private housing finance law, known as the Mitchell-Lama
 10 law, or pursuant to project-based section eight contracts entered into
 11 with the federal government.
 12 The legislature further recognizes that severe disruption of the
 13 rental housing market has occurred and threatens to be exacerbated as a
 14 result of the abrupt termination of rent and eviction regulation when
 15 buildings completed or substantially renovated as family units on or
 16 after January first, nineteen hundred seventy-four exit the Mitchell-
 17 Lama program or when buildings cease to be subject to project-based
 18 section eight contracts. The situation had permitted speculative and
 19 profiteering practices and has brought about the loss of vital and irre-
 20 placeable affordable housing for working persons and families.
 21 The legislature therefore declares that in order to prevent uncertain-
 22 ty, potential hardship and dislocation of tenants living in housing
 23 accommodations subject to government regulations as to rentals and
 24 continued occupancy as well as those not subject to such regulations,

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

 A. 3203 2

 1 the provisions of this act are necessary to protect the public health,
 2 safety and general welfare. The necessity in the public interest for the
 3 provisions hereinafter enacted is hereby declared as a matter of legis-
 4 lative determination.
 5 § 2. Section 5 of section 4 of chapter 576 of the laws of 1974 consti-
 6 tuting the emergency tenant protection act of nineteen seventy-four is
 7 amended by adding a new subdivision c to read as follows:
 8 c. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, nothing shall
 9 prevent the declaration of an emergency pursuant to section three of
 10 this act for rental housing accommodations located in buildings or
 11 structures which were owned by a company established under article two
 12 of the private housing finance law, other than a mutual company, which
 13 are no longer owned by such company by reason of a voluntary dissolution
 14 pursuant to section thirty-five of such law or for rental housing accom-
 15 modations located in buildings or structures defined as covered projects
 16 pursuant to section 8 of the United States housing act of nineteen thir-
 17 ty-seven, as amended, or any successor statute, and any regulations
 18 promulgated thereunder in which rental housing accommodations received
 19 project-based rental assistance from the United States department of
 20 housing and urban development pursuant to contracts with the owners of
