 read once and referred to the Committee on Housing

 tive code of the city of New York, in relation to establishing income

 accommodations

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 1 Section 1. Section 10 of section 4 of chapter 576 of the laws of 1974,

 5 person, or persons, whose income exceeds one hundred twenty-five percent
 6 of the area median income shall be ineligible to occupy any housing
 7 accommodation subject to the provisions of this act.
 8 2. The division of homes and community renewal and the department of

 11 promulgated shall hold the owner of the housing accommodation, or such
 12 owner's agent, harmless for any violation of paragraph one of this
 13 subdivision.
 14 3. A tenant found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have will-

 17 documentation in an effort to obtain tenancy of the housing accommo-

 20 who currently occupies a housing accommodation subject to the provisions
 21 of this act, and whose income exceeds the threshold provided in para-
 22 graph one of this subdivision, shall be exempt from civil penalties and
 23 shall not be evicted on the grounds of a violation of paragraph one of
 24 this subdivision for a period of ten years from the date of execution of
 25 the most recent lease agreement prior to the effective date of this
