 1 Section 1. Section 352-eeee of the general business law is amended by
 2 adding a new subdivision 9 to read as follows:
 3 9. (a) Whenever any unsold dwelling unit in a residential cooperative
 4 or condominium building becomes vacant, such dwelling unit may not be
 5 rented and must be offered for sale unless either:
 6 (i) the original offering plan which was accepted for filing by the
 7 attorney general expressly disclosed the possibility that unsold dwell-
 8 ing units might not be sold when they become vacant, and the offering
 9 plan contained a warning to purchasers of the risk entailed in purchas-
 10 ing a unit in a building where unsold dwelling units are not offered for
 11 sale; or
 12 (ii) the sponsor or other owner of the unsold dwelling unit first
 13 obtains the consent of a majority of those members of the cooperative
 14 corporation board of directors or condominium association board of
 15 managers who are not affiliated with, employed by, or related to the
 16 sponsor or owner of the unsold dwelling unit or units to said rental.
 17 (b) In the event that neither of the conditions set forth in subpara-
 18 graphs (i) and (ii) of paragraph (a) of this subdivision are met, and
 19 such dwelling unit remains unsold and unoccupied for a period of one
 20 year from the date it becomes vacant, then the dwelling unit may be
 21 rented for a period of up to one year. At the conclusion of such one
 22 year rental period, the unsold dwelling unit shall once again be deemed
 23 to have become vacant, and the provisions of this subdivision shall be
