 ___________

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

 accordance with Assembly Rule 3, sec. 2 -- committee discharged, bill
 amended, ordered reprinted as amended and recommitted to said commit-

 AN ACT to amend the multiple dwelling law, in relation to requiring
 certain owners of multiple dwellings in cities with a population of
 one million or more to designate a secure space for packages to be
 delivered to

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

 1 Section 1. The section heading of section 57 of the multiple dwelling
 2 law is amended and a new subdivision 3 is added to read as follows:
 3 Bells; mail receptacles; packages.
 4 3. (a) In cities with a population of one million or more, whenever
 5 the owner of a multiple dwelling with fifty or more units has not
 6 arranged for packages to be delivered to occupants thereof by such
 7 owner, or such owner's agent or employees, such owner shall designate a
 8 secure space within the building for packages to be delivered to. Such
 9 space may be a package room, management office, closet, or other simi-
 10 larly designated space, and such space shall be:
 11 (i) locked;
 12 (ii) accessible only to staff, residents or delivery people with a
 13 key;
 14 (iii) monitored by a camera or other surveillance device; and
 15 (iv) a space other than the building vestibule or lobby.
 16 (b) The creation of such package room shall not result in any
 17 increased cost to the tenant. If no such space is available in the
 18 building, then building staff are required to deliver packages to the
 19 doorways of the residents to which they are addressed.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
 LBD02246-02-6

 A. 742--A 2

 1 (c) Failure to comply with this subdivision shall result in the owner
 2 of the multiple dwelling being responsible for the full replacement
 3 price of any item lost or stolen, so long as the tenant is able to
 4 provide evidence of loss and the value of such lost or stolen items.
 5 Such evidence may include a delivery confirmation. A tenant shall not
 6 be required to file a police report or similar documentation to prove
 7 the loss of such item.
 8 § 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
 9 have become a law.
