 AN ACT to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in
 relation to protecting tenants displaced due to fire

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

 1 Section 1. The administrative code of the city of New York is amended
 2 by adding a new section 26-307 to read as follows:
 3 § 26-307 Protecting tenants displaced due to fire. 1. Any tenant who
 4 is evicted or otherwise removed from a dwelling unit as a result of a
 5 vacate order issued by any governmental agency or department due to fire
 6 shall be entitled to a suitable accommodation as defined by subdivision
 7 two of this section while the vacate order remains in effect. The
 8 department of housing preservation and development shall refer the
 9 tenant to such suitable accommodation and, if the tenant accepts, the
 10 owner of the building from which such tenant was relocated shall pay for
 11 the rent on the suitable accommodation upon a finding that the owner, or
 12 such owner's designated agent, negligently or intentionally caused or
 13 contributed to the fire resulting in the vacate order. Such owner shall
 14 be liable to pay for the rent of such suitable accommodation until the
 15 commissioner determines that sufficient repairs are completed and until
 16 such tenant is notified of their right of first refusal pursuant to
 17 subdivision four of this section.
 18 2. For purposes of this section, "suitable accommodation" shall mean a
 19 dwelling unit approved by the commissioner of the department of housing
 20 preservation and development that:
 21 (a) has adequate floor area for the tenant and such tenant's family
 22 pursuant to the housing maintenance code of the city of New York;
 23 (b) has no immediately hazardous violations of record in the dwelling
 24 unit;
