I EXPECT HEARING THESE PRODUCTS. SECTOR PROFESSIONALS AND MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC. DUE TO A VARIETY OF EXPENSES AND TO THE MAJORITY OF EFFICIENTLY USE EVERY PERSON'' S TIME WE WILL CERTAINLY COMMIT THE FIRST SECTION OF THE HEARING TO 2309 AND WE WILL CERTAINLY LISTEN TO TESTAMENT AND CONDUCT CONCERN AND RESPONSES WITH THEM FIRST. WE WILL AFTER THAT TRANSFER TO THE REMAINING REGULATION. I WANT TO REMIND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO SUBMIT A CARD WITH THE SERGEANT.
I CURRENTLY TRANSFORM IT OVER TO THE BOARD ADVISE TO ADMINISTER THE VOW OF ADMINISTRATION PRIOR TO EXAMINATION MONEY. WE WILL SPEAK WITH AMONG THE COSTS SPONSORS, COUNCILMEMBER KALLOS. >> > > THANKS COUNCILMEMBER TRENT ONE. I BEEN WORKING WITH THIS FOR 8 YEARS. I'' VE BEEN An OCCUPANT A LOT OF MY LIFE AND I'' M SICK OF HAVING TO COMPETE WITH TOURISTS FOR REAL ESTATE IN THE CITY. PATEL SHOULD BE FOR ABRUPT AND HOUSING OUGHT TO BE FOR NEW YORKERS. IF THAT'' S SIMPLE OCCUPANTS HAVE HAD TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $384 IN INCREASED LEASE CHARGE TO THE AIRBNB DEVELOPMENT. THE SPIKE AND LEASE FORCED MYSELF AND MY SPOUSE TO ACTION DURING A HIGH RISK MATERNITY. THERE WERE 37,000 UNITS ON AIRBNB IN FEBRUARY. AND HALF OF THEM WERE TEMPORARY RENTALS THAT NEED TO BE RESTRICTED TO LESS THAN THIRTY DAYS WHERE THERE LOCAL IS HOME AT THE TIME. THERE ARE LOTS BAD ACTORS AVAILABLE. LIKE ONE WHO LEASED HOUSES TO THOUSANDS OF GUESTS. FOR 55,000 NIGHTS OVER THREE YEARS A WENT ACROSS THROUGHOUT 35 BUILDINGS. AND THANKFULLY THE CITY CAUGHT THEM. THAT IS 151 YEARS OF REAL ESTATE THAT WAS KEPT OFF THE MARKET.
IT'' S POSSIBLE THAT MANY HOLDS DON'' T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS ILLEGAL. WE ARE HEARING REGULATION TO CALL FOR EVERY HOST AND SYSTEM TO REGISTER THEIR SYSTEM. IF IT IS LEGAL TO RENT THEIR UNITY UNITS THAT ARE MANAGED WILL NOT BE ALLOWED, via THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS THEY WILL FIND OUT. MARKET PRICE WILL CERTAINLY NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO REGISTER WITHOUT LANDLORD PERMISSION. CONDOMINIUM OWNERS CONTAINER REGISTER AND LISTING THEIR UNITY MAY ADD THAT COOPERATIVES ON THE UPPER EAST SIDE DO NOT LICENSE RENTALS. BOARDS CONTAINER ALWAYS ADOPT NEW RULES AND REGULATIONS. SINGLE-FAMILY HOMEOWNERS ARE FREE TO REGISTER AND LISTING THEIR AREAS AND SLEEPING LODGINGS. WITH THE CURRENT FLOODING AND FATALITIES FROM EXOTIC TORNADO IDA THE AREAS REQUIRED TO BE INSPECTED. WHEN WE PASS THE REGULATIONS THE BUDGET-FRIENDLY REAL ESTATE DILEMMAS MAKE IT LESS COMPLICATED WITH THE FLOOD OF 18,000 MARKET COMING BACK ON THE MARKET THAT MAY BE AFFORDABLE.
THIS MORNING WE HAD 45,000 PEOPLE IN SANCTUARIES. AND 14,000 OF THEM WERE CHILDREN. WE COULD AND HOUSEHOLD BEING HOMELESS WITH THESE DEVICES RETURNING. WE COULD HOME EVERY HOMELESS NEW YORKER. HOUSING IS A HUMAN RIGHT AND WE NEED TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT THERE IS MORE OF IT AVAILABLE TO MAKE A REAL DISTINCTION. I WISH TO THANK THE COALALITION AGAINST LEGAL HOTELS AND MY COUNSEL WHO HAD THE BAD LUCK OF STAYING IN A RENTAL STRUCTURE THAT WAS BORDERED BY TEMPORARY RENTALS WHERE THE CONSTANT COMING AND GOING OF INDIVIDUALS FORCED HIM OUT OF HIS HOME. AND NATURALLY CHAIR RIVERA. THANK YOU AND NOW IS THE MOMENT TO BRING THESE UNITS BACK ONTO THE MARKETPLACE AND MAKE IT SAFE FOR EACH NEW YORKER. THANKS. >> > > PLEASE INCREASE YOUR RIGHT HAND CHOSE YOUR COMPANY TO TELL THE REALITY, THE ENTIRE TRUTH AND ONLY THE FACT AND TO RESPOND HONESTLY TO COUNCILMEMBER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.
YOU MAY BEGIN WHEN READY. >>> > > > GREAT EARLY MORNING CHAIR RIVERA. AND MEMBERS OF THE MIDI ON HOUSING AND STRUCTURES. I AM THE EXEC DIRECTOR OF THE WORKPLACE OF SPECIAL ENFORCEMENT. THANKS FOR THE CHANCE TO TESTIFY TODAY. WE WANT TO COLLABORATE EFFORTS TO PROBLEM RESOLVE AROUND ARISING ISSUES. THAT AFFECT NEIGHBORHOOD SECURITY, livability, and cohesion. OUR WORK IS ADDRESSING ILLEGAL SHORT- TERM RENTALS. DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE TEST CASH REFERRALS ILLEGAL SHORT- TERM RENTALS CONTINUOUSLY ALLOW ME TO STATE THE CURRENT REGULATION IN NEW YORK CITY CITY. THE CITY AND STATE LAW THAT APPLIES IN NEW YORK CITY LIMITS SERVICES FOR FEWER THAN 30 CONSECUTIVE DAYS TO THOSE SCENARIOS WHERE TWO VISITORS ARE PRESERVING An USUAL HOME WITH THE IRREVERSIBLE PASSENGER OF THE UNITY WHETHER A MULTIPLE HOME OR A A COUPLE OF FAMILY BUILDING. RENTALS TO GREATER THAN TWO GUESTS ARE ILLEGAL. RESIDING IN ONE DEVICE WHILE LEASING ANOTHER PERSON DEVICE TO GUEST DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A HOSTED SERVICE. BY WORKING TO STOP THE PROLIFERATION OF THESE ILLEGAL TEMPORARY RENTALS THIS ADVANCEMENTS TRICK GOALS TO PRESERVE AFFORDABILITY AND COMMUNITY LIVABILITY. TO STOP HARASSMENT OF IRREVERSIBLE HOMES AND TO INCREASE GAIN ACCESS TO TO PERMANENT HOUSING.
WALL STRIVING TO GUARANTEE THAT NEW YORKERS ARE NOT DISRUPTED BY ILLEGAL TASK IN THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS AND BUILDINGS. AS OSE HAS REPORTED IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS. IN BETWEEN 2016- 2020. WE GOT OVER 11,000 GRIEVANCES CONCERNING SHORT-TERM SERVICES. AND PERFORMED 21,000 INSPECTIONS AND PROVIDED 13,000 VIOLATIONS THAT CAUSED HEFTY PENALTIES. THE FIELD ACTIVITY THAT WAS DRIVEN AND EDUCATED BY THE PROBLEMS OF OCCUPANTS AND NEIGHBORS THROUGHOUT NEW YORK CITY IN THE DATA EVALUATIONS OF THE RESEARCH STUDY TEAM HAS CAUSED THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL RENTALS BEING RESOLVED. IN SELECT INCIDENTS OF ILLEGAL ACTIVITY PERSISTING OR WHERE OSE EXAMINATIONS REVEAL OPERATIONS THAT SPAN DOZENS OF BUILDINGS. OUR LEGAL TEAM LAUNCHES LITIGATION. AND HAS BROUGHT 20 CLAIMS SINCE 2015. RESOLVING A LARGE RANGE OF UNLAWFUL OPERATIONS. AND LEADING TO COURT PROTECTIONS AND SETTLEMENTS AND PENALTIES VERSUS SHORT- TERM RENTALS THAT ALLOW THEIR BUILDINGS TO BE ABUSE. THIS WORK STRAIGHT IMPACTS THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL OPERATORS AND REVEALS KEY REALITIES CONCERNING SHORT-TERM RENTAL MARKET. THE TRICK DEVICE IS THE ON THE INTERNET MARKETPLACE IT'' S DEVELOPED BY BOOKING SERVICES. AND ONLY THROUGH ACQUIRING INFORMATION CANISTER THE FULL DEGREE OF ILLEGAL WORKFLOW BE UNDERSTOOD.
THERE ARE FEW RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY RESERVATION SERVICES TO QUIT THE EXPANSION OF UNLAWFUL TASK. AND ABSENCE OF VERIFICATION THAT BANS ILLEGAL TASK THAT STRAIGHT ADDED TO THE INCREASE OF THE UNLAWFUL SHORT- TERM LEASING MARKET IN NEW YORK CITY CITY. IT TOOK THE WORSE PUBLIC HEALTH SITUATION IN MEMORY TO INTERRUPT THE LEGAL LEASINGS OCCURRING NIGHTLY IN NEW YORK CITY CITY. WITH ILLEGAL ACTIVITY DECREASING CONSIDERABLY THROUGHOUT THE FIRST WAVE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. THE DISRUPTION WAS IMPROVED WITH REGIONAL LEGISLATIONS 146 AND 64 ONE. KNOWN AS THE BOOKING SOLUTION INTERNET DATING COVERAGE LEGISLATION THAT WENT INTO IMPACT IN THIS PAST JANUARY. THE REGULATION LED TO A SIGNIFICANT DECLINE IN THE OVERALL NUMBER OF ILLEGAL SHORT- TERM LEASING LISTINGS. ON AIRBNB THE UNLAWFUL LISTINGS WENT DOWN FROM 38,000 IN OCTOBER 2020, TO 14,000 IN AUGUST OF 2021.
UNFORTUNATELY ILLEGAL SHORT- TERM RENTAL ACTIVITY IS REBOUNDING. IN THE FIRST QUARTER ACROSS SEVERAL TYPES REPORTING DATA THERE WERE 3600 ILLEGAL LISTINGS WITH HIGH INTENSITY USE THAT WERE BOOKED FOR LOTS 35,000 NIGHTS. THE AVERAGE LISTING WAS RESERVED FOR 32 NIGHTS IN THE REPORTING PERIOD. THE SECONDLY QUARTER SAW AN SISIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF ILLEGAL LISTINGS. UP 33% TO OVER 4800. WITH THE INCREASES OF LEGAL ILLEGAL TASK WAS PRONOUNCED WITH THE NUMBER OF NIGHTS SCHEDULED INCREASE BY 60% TO 253,000. AS WE HAVE SEEN FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS ILLEGAL TASK IS A LOT OF WIDESPREAD IN AREAS OF THE CITY THAT HAVE ENCOUNTERED GENTRIFICATION. INCLUDING WILLIAMSBURG AND BROOKLYN AND CHELSEA, “” CHINATOWN””, THE LOWER EAST SIDE AND THE EAST VILLAGE. I SHOULD POINT OUT THAT THESE OBSERVATIONS DO NOT INCLUDE TASKS THAT ARE HAPPENING LISTINGS THAT APPEAR TO BE LEGAL AND ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE REPORTED. BROADLY TALKING THIS JUST NEEDS REPORTING ON FACIALLY ILLEGAL LISTINGS. THOSE THAT DEAL AN ENTIRE DEVICE FOR THREE OR EVEN MORE GUESTS.
THERE IS A SEGMENT THAT IS PROMOTED THROUGH LISTINGS THAT APPEAR TO BE FOR PARTIAL SYSTEM AND JUST ONE OR 2 VISITORS. >> > > STILL MAY BE ILLEGAL. WHEN SEVERAL LISTINGS ARE FOR SPACES IN THE CITY UNNIT OR WHEN SUCH SPACES HAPPEN IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS THAT ARE PROVIDE BY THE VERY SAME HOME. THESE UNREPORTED LISTINGS WERE 2400 THAT VACATED THIS PROHIBITED TASK THAT IS CONCENTRATED IN NEIGHBORHOODS IN HELLS KITCHEN AREA AND BROOKLYN. THIS INFORMATION INCORPORATED WITH ENFORCEMENT REVEALS ONE EVEN MORE TRICK REALITIES. THE WAY TO ADDRESS THE INHERENT CHALLENGES OF ASSESSMENT BASED ENFORCEMENT IS TO ADD PREVENTION TO THE CURE. AND SUPPORT IT WITH FRAMEWORK WHERE UNPERMITTED TASK IS PROHIBITED ON THE MARKETPLACE. OSE SUPPORTS 2309 TO PROVIDE An ENROLLMENT SYSTEM FOR SHORT- TERM RENTALS.
WE EXPECT WORK WITH ADVISE TO SUGGEST CHANGES SO THAT CONCENTRATES ON AVOIDING UNLAWFUL PURCHASE WITH ENFORCEMENT RESOURCES FOCUSED ON AVOIDANCE. >> > > THANKS FOR YOUR STATEMENT. THE I HAVE A FEW CONCERNS BEFORE I ' LL PASS IT ON MY COLLEAGUES THAT ARE PRESENT. THE FIRST INQUIRY YOU POINTED OUT THE INCREASE IN ILLEGAL USE TEMPORARY RENTALS. IN GENTRIFICATION AREAS. I AM WONDERING WHAT YOUR IDEA GETS ON THE PANDEMIC THE RENT HALT AND THOSE TYPES OF DETAILS WOULD YOU THINK ABOUT THOSE TO BE MITIGATING ELEMENTS FROM YOUR ESTIMATION? >> > > WE ARE LOOKING CLOSELY AT THE TIMING OF MATTERS. WHEN LAWS PASSED AND AIRBNB WAS IMPLEMENTING THEIR USER EDUCATION AND LEARNING, WE TALK ABOUT THE DECLINE IN LISTINGS THAT WAS RIGHT AROUND THE TIME. AND AFTERWARDS WE SAW A BIG DROP. IN TERMS OF THE NUMBERS THAT WERE REPORTED. THAT IS A COMBINATION OF ALL THE ACTIVITY THAT IS BEING REPORTED. NOT ALL OF IT IS HAPPENING ON THE WEBSITES. FOR ALL THE LISTINGS ARE 3 OR EVEN MORE THAT ARE RECOILING PROMPTLY. I DO NOT HAVE INFORMATION OR EVIDENCE REGARDING THE RENT MORATORIUM. FORGIVE ME YOU MENTIONED ANOTHER ELEMENT? >> > > THE RENT POSTPONEMENT AND THE PANDEMIC AS POSSIBLE MITIGATING ASPECTS FOR THE INCREASE OF HOUSEHOLDS LOCATING THEMSELVES IN DEEP FINANCIAL WORRY.ANY OF THOSE FACTORS THAT ARE ADDING? > > I WOULD SAY >> THEY ARE PURELY TRANSACTIONAL THE QUANTITY OF ACTIVITITIES THAT ARE HAPPENING. THE FIRST CONCERN AS IT CONNECTS STRAIGHT TO THIS. I AM INTERESTED REGARDING HOW THE OFFICE OF SPECIAL ENFORCEMENT DISCOVERS ILLEGAL SHORT- TERM RENTALS. WHAT IS THE REPORTING MECHANISM FOR LOCATING OR FINDING A PROSPECTIVE PROHIBITED OPERATOR? >> > > WE OBTAINED ISSUES, TEAM PERSON OBTAINS A COMPLAINT REGARDING A LOSS OF SAFETY, IT BOOSTED SOUND AND PROBLEM BEHAVIORS. WE OBTAIN THOSE PROBLEMS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
ALONG WITH COMPLAINTS WE ALSO DO PROACTIVE ASSESSMENTS WHERE WE USAGE THE DATA FROM INSIDE AIRBNB TO IDENTIFY INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE PARTICIPATING IN THIS TASK. WE RECEIVED DATA FROM THOSE PLATFORMS WE TURN THAT INTO ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITY. >> > > DO ANY SHORT -TERM SERVICE RESERVATION OPERATING SYSTEMS SHARE INFORMATION DIRECTLY WITH OSE. OR DO YOU HAVE TO GET THAT FROM A THIRD-PARTY? WE WILL CERTAINLY THEY ARE NOW ALL UNDER THE CITY COVERAGE LAW. FOR THE CATEGORIES REQUIRED.
ON TOP OF THAT RESERVATION SERVICES HAVE BEEN CORROBORATIVE. AND HAS ACTUALLY OFFERED THE INFORMATION DEMANDED WITH THE SUBPOENA. THE COVERAGE LAW HAS A NUMBER OF INFORMATION AND WE CAN CERTAINLY REFER BACK TO THOSE. IT IS ALSO ON OUR INTERNET SITE UNDER THE REPORTING TAB. GREAT DEALS OF CERTAIN POINTS RELATING TO THE ADDRESS, AND CONTACT INFO. THE EVENINGS BOOKED. THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE CREATED. WHICH INFO PERTAINS TO United States ON A QUARTERLY BASIS. IN ADDITION WE STILL HAVE A SUBPOENA TECHNIQUE THAT WE WERE USING BEFORE THE COVERAGE WHOLE LOT TO OBTAIN INFORMATION.
AND WE REMAIN TO USE THAT IF WE REQUIREMENT TO TAKE A MUCH DEEPER DIVE TO CONSIDER THE HISTORIC EFFECT OF A PARTICULAR DRIVER. >> > > WHAT IS THE PARTICULAR INFORMATION THAT IS A SHARED? WE WILL CERTAINLY I WOULD LOVE TO SUPPLY A DETAILS SOLUTION TO THAT INQUIRY FOLLOWING THE HEARING. >> > > WE CANISTER ADHERE TO UP ON THAT. THE >> > > HOW-TOS OSE ISSUE INFRACTIONS? >>> > > > THAT OFFENSES WE CONCERN. THE FIRST OF OFFENSE IS FOR THE ILLEGAL CONVERSION OF A PERMANENT RESIDENCE TO A SHORT-TERM LEASING.
THERE ARE TWO VARIOUS LAWS IN THE CONSTRUCTING CODE. IT IS TENANCY THAT CONTRASTS WHAT IS PERMITTED. AND THE OFFENSE IS ISSUED UNDER THE BUILDING CODE. WHICH HAS BEEN ON THE PUBLICATION FOR YEARS. A YEARS AGO WHEN THE STATE UPGRADED THE LAW THE CITY BOARD REACTED AND CREATED AN IMPROVED EXCLAMATION. THE CORE INFRACTIONS IS FOR THE MODIFICATION OF IRREVERSIBLE RESIDENTIAL OCCUPANCY TO ILLEGAL SHORT- TERM HOME. OFFENSES FOR LACKING THE SAFETY PROVISIONS REQUIREREDD WHEN YOU HAVE SHORT-TERM USAGE SUCH AS ADEQUATE EMERGENCY ALARM, ROBBERS, AND EGRESS. THE OFFENSES ARE INDEPENDENT OF WHETHER THE INDIVIDUAL IS UTILIZING A BOOKING PLATFORM OR NOT.
WHEN THERE ADVERTISING AND MARKETING ILLEGAL OCCUPANCY, the USE OF THE RESERVING SYSTEM BECOMES APPROPRIATE. AND AFTER THAT THE ADVERTISING AND MARKETING LAW THAT THE STATE PASSED. THAT IS THE ONE SECTION OF THE ENFORCEMENT LAW THAT ONLY PUTS ON MULTIPLE DWELLINGS. >> > > TO YOU OCCUR TO HAVE THE NUMBER OF PROPRIETORS WHO HAVE OBTAINED INFRACTIONS OVER THE LAST TWO FISCAL YEAR? >> > > I TIN SAY EXTENSIVELY IN THE 2020 THAT WE PROVIDED 1500 OFFENSES. IN 2019 WE ISSUED A 3500 VIOLATIONS. THERE'' S An INFORMATION PAGE THAT ISSUES THE ANNUAL RECORDS. ALL OF THE INFRACTIONS ALONG WITH STANDINGS. I WILL MAKE A KEEP IN MIND TO SEND OUT THOSE REPORTS. >>> > > > SO WHEN THEY INSPECT SHORT- TERM RENTALS DID THEY TRY TO FIND OFFENSES OF THE DEVELOPING CODE? YOUR INTEREST AS IT ASSOCIATES TO VIOLATIONS OF THE SCULPTURE THAT ARE DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED TO TEE SHIRT TEMPORARY RENTALS DO YOU CAST A LARGER NET ON THE STRUCTURE? >> > > TO BE CLEAR ALL THE VIOLATIONS ARE REFERENCED IN THE CITY MANAGEMENT CODE.
AND IT INCORPORATES THE REAL ESTATE UPKEEP CODE. IF I COMPREHEND YOUR INQUIRY DO WE WRITE FOR A CRUMBLING FAGADE OR An OBSTRUCTED EGRESS? , if THEY SEE A CONDITION THEY ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE SUITABLE ACTION.. BACK FOR THE RECORD DOES OSE SUPPORT 2309? >> > > WE SUPPORT THE OBJECTIVE OF 2309. AND WE ARE COMMITTED TO WORKING TO SEE TO IT THAT THE VERY BEST OUTCOME BOILS DOWN. IT IS CLEAR THAT WE DEMAND THE TOOL OF AN ONLINE ENROLLMENT SYSTEM THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO HEAD TO THE RESERVING SERVICE AND REMOVE ALL THE UNPERMITTED AND UNREGISTERED ACTIVITY.
THIS WILL CERTAINLY PROVIDE United States THAT DEVICE TO PREVENT UNLAWFUL ACTIVITY. THIS IS DEFINITELY An ACTION IN THE RIGHT INSTRUCTIONS. SCENE ARE THERE ANY MAJOR CONCERNS THAT YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THIS MORNING? >> > > THERE ARE NO MAJOR PROBLEMS. >> > > COUNSEL MEMBER KALLOS? >> > > MANY THANKS FOR YOUR TESTIMONY. THE THE NUMBERS ARE STAGGERING. AND ONE QUARTER 135,000 KNIGHTS. THAT'' S 369 YEARS OF HOUSING THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN OFF THE MARKETPLACE. IS THAT CORRECT? >> > > I TRUST YOUR COMPUTATIONS. THE BANK THAT IS JAW-DROPPING. IN YOUR TESTAMENT CLAIMED RESTRICTION OF 30 DAYS FOR EVEN MORE THAN TO ASSUMPTION THAT IS ILLEGAL. LIVING IN ONE SYSTEM AND RESTING RENTING TO ANOTHER PERSON IS NOT ILLEGAL. AND YOU SHARE A DETAILS CASE LAW THAT SUSTAINS THIS ANALYSIS? >> > > TO BE CLEAR THIS IS NOOT SIMPLY MENTION LAW. >> > > THIS HAS BEEN ILLEGAL FOR DECADES. YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO TRANSFORM THE USAGE FROM ONE APPROVED USAGE TO ONE THAT IS NOT AUTHORIZED. THE CHANGING FROM LONG-TERM HOUSING TO TRANSIENT REAL ESTATE CONSTITUTES SUCH A CONVERSION.
THE RESOURCE OF RESTRICTIONS COME FROM THE STRUCTURE CODE TENANCY CLASSIFICATION. STATE LEGISLATION CLEARS UP WHAT THAT IMPLIES FOR CONSECUTIVE USE FOR THIRTY DAYS. FURTHERMORE WHAT TRIGGERS THE ILLEGAL SHORT- TERM LEASING. PERMANENT OCCUPANCY OF THE RESIDENTIAL SYSTEM IS FOR A FAMILY AND THAT CONSISTS OF AS MUCH AS TWO BOUNDARIES OR LODGERS. THAT DEFINITION PRODUCES A SMALL EXEMPTION WHEREFORE IS A LAWFUL SHORT-TERM SERVICE. >> > > IS A PERSON WANTS CONVERTING A CURRENT RESIDENTIAL USAGE FOR SHORT-TERM USE. THE EXISTS A PROCESS TO DO SO? >> > > THERE IS FOR THE DIVISION OF STRUCTURE.
>> > > THAT IS MY TIME. THANKS. >> > > WE WILL CERTAINLY NOW BELOW STATEMENT FROM HPD AND DOB. >> > > THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND I WISH TO SAY FOR THE DOCUMENT THE I WILL BE REVIEWING EVERY ONE OF THE TESTIMONY PRIOR TO United States. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE VARIETY OF INDIVIDUALS BELOW TO AFFIRM ON 2309 AND I EAGERLY ANTICIPATE HEARING WHAT THEY NEED TO SAY AS WE CONCLUDE ON THIS ITEM OF LEGISLATION. >> > >'IT ' S VITAL THAT WE CANISTER LISTEN TO STRAIGHT FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. THANKS FOR YOUR COMMITMENT TO STATE. >> >'> I ' M GOING TO LEAVE BUT I WILL BE LISTENING. I HAVE TO GET BACK TO THE OFFICE. >> > > MARGARET CHIN HAS An INQUIRY BEFORE YOU LEAVE. >> > > TO START WITH I REALLY DESIRED TO GIVE THANKS TO THE UNIQUE ENFORCEMENT UNIT ON THEIR RECENT TRIUMPH. THERE WERE BUILDINGS IN MY AREA AND THEY HAD OCCUPANTS WHO WORK WHINING THAT THEIR PROPERTY MANAGER WAS ILLEGALLY LEASING UNLAWFUL AIRBNB'' S. I ASSUME THAT WITH THIS COSTS IT WILL URGE MORE PROACTIVE ENFORCEMENT.
EXISTS A METHOD TO CONTACT HPD TO SEE WHETHER UNITS ARE SIGNED UP? I ASSUME An EVEN MORE PROACTIVE METHOD WOULD AID MITIGATE SOME OF THE HARASSMENT THAT TENANTS ARE ENDURING. THAT IS A COMPLEX QUESTION. PERMIT ME TO SHOT TO SIMPLIFY. WE DO HAVE GAIN ACCESS TO TO DEVICE INFORMATION. ONLY THROUGH SUBPOENAS. THERE ARE STRONG CONSTRAINTS. CONCERNING USING THE INFORMATION. IF IT IS NOT LEGAL THEY WOULD NEVER MAKE IT ONTO THE WEBSITE, my UNDERSTANDING IS THE OBJECTIVE OF THE REGULATIONS IS THAT. THEY MAY HAVE A LISTINING BUT IT WOULDN'' T BE REGISTER. AND THEY WOULD BE PENALIZED. THE WORTH OF An ENROLLMENT SYSTEM AND THE HOPE AND OBJECTIVE IS THAT IT PREVENTS EVERY ONE OF THAT ILLEGAL TASK RIGHT FROM THE START TO MAKE IT SO THAT INDIVIDUALS CANISTER NOT GET IN THE MARKET UNLAWFULLY. >> > > WE EXPECT FUNCTIONING WITH YOU ON THAT PARTICULAR. WE WILL CURRENTLY REQUEST FOR HPD. I'' M GOING TO ASK THE COMMITTEE ADVISE TO SWEAR IN HPD.
WE ARE WAITING FOR THE COMMISSIONER AHEAD. IF YOU COULD PLEASE BE SWORN IN. >> > > PLEASE ELEVATE YOUR RIGHT-HAND MAN.

AND I'' M THE DEPUTY COMMISSIONER WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF REAL ESTATE AND CONSERVATION GROWTH.
THANK YOU FOR THE POSSIBILITY TO TESTIFY ON THIS VITAL AND PROMPT DISCUSSION ON THE QUALIFICATION OF THE NO HARASSMENT PILOT. THIS IS ONE OF THE MANY EXTRAORDINARY STEPS THAT THE CITY HAS TAKEN IN COLLABORATION WITH THE COUNCIL TO FIGHT RENTER HARASSMENT AND VARIATION. THERE'' S NO SILVER BULLET TO ADDRESS HARASSMENT THAT CAN BE FOUND IN MANY FORMS. WHICH IS WHY DEMONSTRATION HAS ACTUALLY ADOPTED BRAND-NEW PROGRAMS WHILE USING EXISTING DEVICES EVEN MORE STRONGLY TO SUPPORT TENANTS AND ADDRESS HARASSMENT WITH IMPROVED SYCHRONISATION OF INTERAGENCY EFFORTS. THE EFFORTS ARE EVEN MORE THAN CRUCIAL FOLLOWING COVID-19 WHICH IS MADE GAIN ACCESS TO TO STABLE AND BUDGET FRIENDLY HOUSING CRITICAL. WE EAGERLY ANTICIPATE CONTINUING OUR WORK WITH THE COUNCIL TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE DEVICES WE REQUIREMENT TO SAFEGUARD NEW YORKERS WERE DEALING WITH INSTABILITY. WE CONVENED IN 2016 BY COUNCILMEMBER LANDER. TO CONCERNS OF LESSEE HARASSMENT AND VARIATION ACROSS THE CITY. THE WORKING GROUP INCLUDING COUNCILMEMBERS, ADVOCATES AND REPS FROM FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND THE REAL ESTATE MARKET IS BILLED WITH CHARACTERISTICS THAT SHOW HARASSMENT. AND HOW TO PREVENT HARASSMENT VIA THE LONG- STANDING ANTI- HARASSMENT PILOT THAT WAS DESIGNED AFTER An EFFECTIVE PROGRAM TO HINDER HARASSMENT OF BUILDINGS CITYWIDE. AND MULTIPLE HOUSES IN THE UNIQUE ZONING DISTRICT.
THE PROGRAM INCENTIVIZED HOMEOWNER FROM HARASSING OCCUPANTS TO ABANDON BY PROVING THAT NO LESSEES WERE HARASSED THROUGHOUT THE PRESCRIBED AMOUNT OF TIME. THIS IS BECOME AN EFFECTIVE TOOL TO PREVENT OCCUPANT HARASSMENT. THE NEED IS A NARROW TOOL THAT IS TRIGGERED WHEN THE RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OWNER WHOSE BUILDING IS SUBJECT TO THE PROGRAM LOOKS FOR LONG-TERM APPLICATION FOR KINDS OF FUNCTION.
>>> > > > EXCELLENT EARLY MORNING, AND WELCOME. > > > GOOD EARLY MORNING CHAIR RIVERA. > > > THAT VIOLATIONS WE CONCERN. > > > SO WHEN THEY INSPECT SHORT- TERM RENTALS DID THEY LOOK FOR INFRACTIONS OF THE CONSTRUCTING CODE? > > GOOD MID-DAY, CHAIR RIVERA.BECAUSE OF EXISTING HOUSING QUALITY PROBLEMS, it OPERATES WHEN IT IS TAILORED TO TARGETING STRUCTURES WITH AREAS THAT HAVE A HIGH RISK. CRITERIA SET FORTH THE TARGET BUILDINGS WERE RENTERS WERE AT DANGER. BASED ON THE CAN PLACE. HPD IS FOCUSED ON THE OVERSIGHT INCLUDING REGULATIONS, CROWNING HIRING OF PERSONNEL, HIRING CONFERENCES AND FOR COMMENTS FROM OCCUPANTS LIVING IN PILOT BUILDINGS.
THE EDUCATION AND TRAINING OF HPD ATTORNEY INVESTIGATORS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ONLINE WEBSITE. AMONGST THE DEMANDS IS THAT THE CITY FIGURE OUT WHETHER THE PILOT REDUCES HARASSMENT TO NOTIFY THE COUNCIL ON THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE PROGRAM. IT'' S A FAIRLY BRIEF AMOUNT OF TIME WITHIN WHICH TO MEASURE IMPACT THE EVALUATION HAS BEEN COMPLICATED BY 2 MAJOR EVENTS. THE FIRST WAS THE FLOW OF THE HOUSING SECURITY ACT OF 2019. THAT SOUGHT TO LOWER OWNER INCENTIVE TO DECREASE TURNOVERS. THE SECONDLY WAS THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. THAT CONSTRICTED LOTS STRUCTURE OWNERS ABILITY TO GIVE ROUTINE UPKEEP. IN SPITE OF FEWER APPLICATIONS IT IMPACTED GENERAL PROPRIETORS HABITS. BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION ALLOWS WERE DOWN 34% CITYWIDE DURING THIS PERIOD. ACKNOWLEDGING THESE OBSTACLES THIS CITY HAS USED DATA TO DELIVER PRELIMINARY FINDINGS. INFORMATION INDICATE THE BUILDING HAVE A HIGHER REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF VIOLATIONS IN BUILDINGS CITYWIDE. A FAVORABLE FAD THAT SUGGESTS THAT IT IS INCENTIVIZING.
ADDED DATA IS NECESSARY TO FULLY EXAMINE THE EFFICIENCIES OF THE PILOT AND MAKE SURE THAT IT IS STRUCTURED IN SUCH A WAY THAT FULFILLS ITS PLANNED PURPOSE. GIVEN THAT IT WAS A BASED ON SEARCHINGS FOR THAT COMPLICATE EXTERIOR VARIABLES THEY RECOMMEND EXTENSION OF THE PILOT IN ORDER TO EXAMINE A FIVE-YEAR PILOT CYCLE. WE ARE DEVELOPING AMENDMENTS TO RECOMMEND FOCUSING AND REDUCING THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGE TO TENANTS. THE CITY BELIEVES THAT THE REQUIREMENT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO THE DIVERSE VARIETY OF ANTIHARASSMENT TOOLS TO SHIELD RENTERS. WE WISH TO COLLABORATE WITH THE COUNCIL ON ONE OF THE MOST RELIABLE MEANS TO FURTHER DETOUR HARASSMENT. CURRENTLY TO TALK ON INTRO 1817 THAT WOULD NEED HPD TO PROPER DAY REGULATIONS FOR REAL ESTATE LOTTO GAMES. WE ABSOLUTELY AGREE THAT IT IS CRUCIAL THAT APPLICANTS TO AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE CHANCES HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF IN WHICH THEY STAND IN THE THEIR and procedures CAPACITY TO CHARM QUALIFICATION RESOLUTIONS THAT THEY FEELING WERE MADE AN ERROR.
BECAUSE THE DATE THAT THE EXPENSE WAS INTRODUCED IN THE 2019. FIRM HAS MADE CONSIDERABLE ALTERATIONS TO THE HANDBOOK. AND HAS ROLLED OUT A REAL ESTATE WEBSITE. HOUSING CONNECT 2.0 WAS CREATED WITH MULTIPLE AGENCIES. WE CONTINUNUE TO READJUST BASED ON RESPONSES FROM MULTIPLE AGENCIES. WE DO HAVE CONCERNS WE WISH TO SEE TO IT THAT A NEW DEMAND IS APPLIED BEFORE MODIFICATIONS ARISE. WE WISH TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO RESPOND NIMBLY. FURTHERMORE THE NEW PORTAL ENABLES CANDIDATES THE ADAPTABILITY TO SELECT A NOTICE SYSTEM. THE EXPENSES OF CONFORMITY WOULD BE CONSIDERABLE AND IT WOULD CREATE LOGISTICAL ISSUES FOR TENANANTNTS. HPD SHARES THE OBJECTIVE TO BE FAIR AND GIVE EQUIVALENT OPPORTUNITY TO ALL APPLICANTS. AND WE ANTICIPATE EVEN MORE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COUNCIL AND PARTNER'' S. SEARCHING FOR WAYS TO PUT INTO LOCATION INCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITIES. THANK YOU FOR THE CHANCE TO AFFIRM AND I EAGERLY ANTICIPATE QUESTIONS. >> > > I SEE THAT WE'' VE BEEN JOINED BY COMMISSIONER LAROCA >>. > > DO YOUR FIRM TO TELL THE FACT, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND ONLY THE FACT BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE AND TO RESPOND HONESTLY TO COUNCILMEMBER QUESTIONS? >> > > BEFORE YOU START I ALSO WANT TO SHOW THAT WE'' VE BEEN JOINED BY OUR COLLEAGUES
>>. > > MANY THANKS. I AM COMMISSIONER LAROCA AND'I ' M HAPPY TO BE HERE TO GO OVER BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION SAFETY. IT IS OF THE UTMOST RELEVANCE TO THE DEPARTMENT. CONSTRUCTION RELATED INJURIES AND FATALITIES ARE A PAINFUL SUGGESTION THAT MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE TO IMPROVE THE SAFETY OF CONSTRUCTION. THE I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE DEPARTMENT AND THE COMMON COUNCIL AND THE BUILDING INDUSTRY CONTAINER INTERACT TO STOP PREVENTABLE INJURIES AND CASUALTIES. THE VARIETY OF RELATED BUILDING FATALITIES HAVE LOWERED FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME IN HALF A DECADE IN 2014. THERE HAVE BEEN 75,000– 75 CASUALTIES. THE THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND WE MUST INTERACT TO ENHANCE SAFETY AT BUILDING SITES. BEFORE I CONTINUE I LIKE TO TAKE A MINUTE TO THANK BUILDING MEMBERS FOR THE CRITICAL FUNCTION THAT THEY DO AND TO KEEP IN MIND THE EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES DEVELOPING THIS CITY. INCLUDING THE EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE SHED THEIR LIVES THIS YEAR ALONE. [CAPTIONERS TRANSITIONING] SIX-STORY STRUCTURE IN LONG ISLAND, QUEENS.
JOSI FERNANDEZ DURING THE DEMOLITION OF THE TWO TALE STRUCTURE IN BROOKLYN IN 2019 FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NEARLY A DECADE CONSTRUCTION RELATED INJURIES REDUCED. IN 2015 WE SAW ANOTHER PERSON REDUCTION IN BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION RELATED INJURIES WITH 500 TO CONSTRUCTION RELATED INJURIES IN 2020. DOWN 34% FROM THE 761 BUILDING RELATED INJURIES IN 2018. WHILE THERE WAS A REDUCTION IN CONSTRUCTION RELATED INJURIES IN 2020 MOMENTARILY YEAR STRAIGHT IT SHOULD BE KEPT IN MIND THAT THE BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY WAS IMPACTED BY COVID 19, CONSISTING OF A PAUSE ON ALL NONESSENTIAL BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION WHICH CAUSED A DECREASE IN BUILDING ACTIVITY DURING THAT YEAR. AS NEW YORK CITY RECUPERATES FROM COVID-19 AND THE BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY GETS BACK TO WORK WE MUST CONTINUE TO PRIORITIZE SAFETY AND SECURITY. THE DECREASE IN INJURIES GIVEN THAT 2018 COMES AFTER THE LAUNCH OF OUR BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION SAFETY AND SECURITY CONFORMITY SYSTEM, WHICH IS DEDICATED TO DOING PROACTIVE UNANNOUNCED INSPECTIONS OF LARGE BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION SITES. TO DATE THIS SYSTEM HAS PERFORMED NEARLY 65,000 PROACTIVE EXAMINATIONS AT OVER 25,000 SITES. THE REDUCTION IN INJURIES ALSO COMBATS A MULTIYEAR– 2017, WHICH NEEDS WORKERS ON A LOT OF OUR LARGER SITES TO GET THOROUGH SITE SECURITY TRAINING.
SINCE EARLIER THIS YEAR EMPLOYEES AT LARGE CONSTRUCTION SITES ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE 40 HOURS OF SECURITY TRAINING AND SUPERVISORS AT THOSE WEBSITES ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE 62 HOURS OF SECURITY TRAINING, INCLUDING ALL PREVENTION TRAINING. BECAUSE THE ENACTMENT OF THIS REGULATION THAT An AUTHORIZATION HAS ACTUALLY CONDUCTED COMPREHENSIVE OUTREACH INTO THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY, INCLUDING PROACTIVE VISITS TO BUILDING SITES THROUGHOUT THE CITY TO DIRECTLY NOTIFY WORKERS THAT ARE IMPACTED. INFORMING EMPLOYEES OF THIS BASIC TRAINING NEED WHILE RETAINING MARKET INFORMED OF UPCOMING DEADLINES AND A WAY TO ACQUIRE THE TRAINING. EXTRA OUTREACH AND EFFERENT EDUCATION INITIATIVES ARE ONLINE WORKER SAFETY AND SECURITY SESSIONS, AND INDIVIDUAL INFORMATION PROCEDURE WITH STAKEHOLDERS IN THE BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION SECTOR, MULTILINGUAL ADVERTISEMENTS IN DOZENS OF NEIGHBORHOOD DOCUMENTS, AND METRO WIDE SYSTEMWIDE SUBWAY CAMPAIGNS.
STRAIGHT WORKER OUTREACH AND EMPLOYEE SITES AT THE WORKPLACE SITES BY DOD BUILDING CENTERS AND PERSONNEL FROM THE DIVISION OF NEIGHBORHOOD INTERACTION SYSTEM ALONG WITH DIRECT MAILING TO ALL DOD CERTIFICATE SECURITY EXPERTS AND LICENSE HOLDERS WHOSE FUNCTION INCLUDES LOCAL 192 EDUCATED EMPLOYEES. TO DAY OUR ACCEPTED SERVICE PROVIDERS HAVE ACTUALLY ISSUED OVER 150,000 WEBSITE SAFETY TRAINING G CARDS, MANY A SUPER SITE TRAINING CARDS, WHICH INDICATES EMPLOYEES ARE FINISHING THE POTENTIALLY LIFE- SAVING WEBSITE SECURITY TRAINING REQUIRED BY THIS HISTORIC LAW. IN 2015 THE DIVISION ORGANIZED ITS FIRST EVER VIRTUAL BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION MARKET SEMINAR, WHICH CONCENTRATED ON SAFETY, ADVANCEMENT, AND SUSTAINABILITY. IN MAINTAINING WITH OUR CONCENTRATE ON SAFETY FOR THE FIRST TIME OUR ANNUAL INDUSTRY CONFERERENCE CONSISTED OF SESSIONS DEDICATED TO WORKER SECURITY, WHICH HIGHLIGHTED CITIZEN 186 AND THE IMPORTANCE OF OBTAINING SITE SAFETY TRAINING. WE HELD THESE PROCEDURE AGAIN IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES THIS YEAR. WE HAVE ALSO STARTED ISSUING WORKER INFORMS WHICH GIVE USEFUL SITUATIONAL SAFETY AND SECURITY INFORMATION AND UNCOMPLICATED ASSISTANCE FOR WORKERS IN THE LOCATIONS THAT WE SEE HIGHER RISK TO SAFETY AND SECURITY.
THESE WORKER ALERTS THAT INCLUDE INFORMATION ABOUT AVOIDING EMPLOYEE FALLS AND PERFORMING FAGADE FUNCTION SECURELY HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED TO WORKERS ON BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION SITES BY THE DEPARTMENT THIS YEAR. FINALLY COME IN N JUNE FOLLOWIN MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION RELATED FATALITIES IN MIGHT THE DEPARTMENT TOOK SWIFT ACTIVITY AND ANNOUNCED THE MOBILIZATION OF TEAMS OF ENFORCEMENT SECTORS ACROSS THE FIVE BOROUGHS TO PERFORM SAFETY SWEEPS OF LARGER AND EVEN MORE FACILITY BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION SITES TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT THEY ARE SAFE, FROM A WORKERS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THE GOAL OF THIS WAS TO SEND A STRONG MESSAGE TO THE CONSTRUCTION SECTOR THAT SAFETY GAP ON BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION SITES WILL CERTAINLY NOT BE TOLERATED. IF THEY OBSERVE ANY SAFETY VIOLATIONS AND CLOSURE SITES IF THEY FOUND SERIOUS SAFETY AND SECURITY GAPS, while EXECUTING THESE SWEEPS THE DIVISION INSPECTORS TOOK PROPER ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS. AS COMPONENT OF THE MOVE WHICH IN THE LAST WEEK THAT AUTHORIZATION CONDUCTED NEARLY 7500 EXAMINATIONS, ISSUED VIRTUALLY 1500 STOPPAGE ORDERS AND OVER 3600 VIOLATIONS FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY CONCERNS.
THE PLAN OFF CONSTRUCTION SECURITY REGULATIONS BEFORE THE COMMITTEE TODAY, WHICH THE DEPARTMENT COMPLETELY SUPPORTS, BUILDS ON OUR COLLECTIVE EFFORTS TO IMPROVE SAFETY AND SECURITY WITH THE GOAL OF FURTHER REDUCING DIRECTION RELATED INJURIES AND FATALITIES BY PROVIDING FOR GREATER OVERSIGHT BY THE DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL CONTRACTORS WHO PARTICIPATE IN BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION OR DEMOLITION FUNCTION BY LICENSING THEM, REDUCING THE THRESHOLD TO NEED A FULL- TIME DEPARTMENT ISSUED WEBSITE SECURITY PLANNER OR WEBSITE SAFETY AND SECURITY SUPERVISOR TO CERTAIN CONSTRUCTION SITES THAT ENTAIL STRUCTURES THAT ARE 7 STORIES ARE GREATER AND REQUIRING THAT THEY SUBMIT HIGH SAFETY PLANS TO THE DEPARTMENT FOR EVALUATION AND AUTHORIZATION. REQUIRING DIVISION BUILDING SUPERINTENDENTS TO OFFER FULL-TIME ALONGSIDE SITE SECURITY COORDINATORS OR WEBSITE SAFETY MANAGERS AT MAJOR BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS AND LIMITING THE VARIETY OF NON- MAJOR CONSTRUCCTION PROJECTS FO WHICH THE DIVISION MUST CONSTRUCTION SUPERINTENDENT MIGHT BE DESIGNATED. BUILDING UPON A BUILDING BULLETIN ISSUED BY THE DEPARTMENT WHICH PROHIBITED USING SCAFFOLDING INSTALLATIONS BY PRODUCTION THAT RESTRICTION PERMANENT. ALSO STRUCTURE UPON A BUILDING NOTICE PROVIDED BY THE DEPARTMENT WHICH BOOSTED THE SECURITY OF SEALED BUILDING BY CREATING NEW SAFETY AND SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR EVENT OVERLOADING AND IMPROPER SETUPS OF COLD DEVELOPED STEEL.
CURRENTLY TRANSFORMING TO THE REGULATIONS TO LOCAL LEGISLATION 152, WHICH MANDATES THE PERIODIC EVALUATION OF GAS PIPING SYSTEMS FOR THE MAJORITY OF STRUCTURES KINDS, EXCLUDING ONE AND TWO O FAMILY MEMBERS HOMES. INTRODUCTION 2259 EXTENDS THE DEADLINE FOR THE SECOND TEAM OF BUILDINGS THAT MUST ABIDE BY THE EVALUATION NEED. THE DIVISION HAS NO ARGUMENT TO THIS EXTENSION. HOWEVER, STRUCTURE OWNERS OUGHT TO NOT POSTPONE CONFORMITY WITH THIS ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENT. GET IN 2321, THE HARDSHIP PROGRAM THAT WOULD PROVIDE PARTICULAR STRUCTURE OWNERS WITH ADDED TIME TO ADHERE TO THE ASSESSMENT CRITERIA IF THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO MEET THEIR APPLICABLE DUE DATES. THE DEPARTMENT IS SUPPORTIVE OF CREATING A HARDSHIP PROGRAM BUT WISH TO DISCUSS SPECIFICS OF THE PROGRAM WITH THIS COMMITTEE FURTHER.
INCLUDING HOW A STRUCTURE PROPRIETOR SHOWS A DIFFICULTY. ANY PROGRAM THAT IS GRADED TO BE RECEPTIVE and helpful TO THE NEEDS OF BUILDING OWNERS WHILE IDENTIFYING THE IMPORTANCE OF FOLLOWING THIS ASSESSMENT CRITERIA IN A PROMPT WAY. INTRODUCTION 2261 REQUIRES THAT WE INTEGRATE A QUESTIONNAIRE TO SEEK FEEDBACK FROM STRUCTURE OWNERS REGARDING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF RESIDENT LAW 152. THE DEPARTMENT ALREADY UTILIZES CONCERNS AND COMMENTS OBTAINED FROM OWNERS TO IMPROVE THE MATERIALS WE USAGE IN OUR OUTREACH AND WE WOULD CERERTAIN ASSISTANCE THIS PROCEDURE. INTRODUCTION 23 77 EXPANDS THE SCOPE OF THIS COMPANY AREA DEMAND TO INCLUDE TENANT ROOMS. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT OF THE SCOPE OF THE ASSESSMENT AND WILL RESULT IN INCREASED COSTS FOR STRUCTURE OWNERS. ACCESS TO OCCUPY LESSEE ROOM FOR THE PURPOSES OF CARRYING OUT THESE INSPECTIONS MAY ALSO PRESENT AN ISSUE AND LENGTHEN THE MOMENT IT REQUIRES TO COMPLETE AN INSPECTION OF A STRUCTURE. THIS PROPOSED EXPANSION MERITS FURTHER DISCUSSION WITH STRUCTURE OWNERS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE EFFECT IT WILL HAVE FOR CONFORMITY.
THANKS ONCE AGAIN FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY BEFORE YOU. I WOULD WELCOME ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. >> > > THANKS A LOT. WE ARE GOING TO CURRENTLY BEGIN THE CONCERN AND SOLUTION PORTION OF THIS STARTING WITH ME AS THE CHAIR AND RELOCATING TO MY COLLEAGUES THAT WILL ADDITIONALLY HAVE CONCERNS. I'' M GOING TO BEGIN WITH THE CONSTRUCTION, THE CERTIFICATE OF NO HARASSMENT. HAS HPD CONSIDERED THE ACTIONS THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO MAKE THIS A LONG-TERM PROGRAM? >> > > MANY THANKS FOR THE QUESTION, COUNCILMEMBER. AS YOU RECOGNIZE, WE HAVE SIMPLY RECENTLY PRODUCE OUR ASSESSMENT OF THE PROGRAM. AS COMPONENT OF THAT ASSESSMENT IT WAS EXTREMELY TOUGH FOR United States, GIVEN THE CONCERNS THAT I ELEVATED MY STATEMENT, TO REALLY DO A FULL EVALUATION OF THE PILOT PROGRAM.SO, NOW
, WHILE WE SEE THE EFFICIENCIES OF THE PROGRAM IN THE INFORMATION THAT WE DID HAVE WE REALLY FEELING THAT IT'' S ESSENTIAL THAT WE CONTINUE TO EVALUATE THE PROGRAM. >> > > AS IT ASSOCIATES TO THE PILOT, HOMINY BUILDINGS EXIST PRESENTLY COVERED BY THE PILOT? >> > > ASKED THE PRESENT TIME THERE ARE 1143 STRUCTURES THAT ARE ON THE PILOT CHECKLIST. >> > > DEVOPS EXTENSION, WILL THAT COVER EVEN MORE STRUCTURES? >> > > SO, IN REVIEWING THE EXPANSION OF THE PROGRAM WITH THE COUNCIL WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT WAYS TO RISE THE NUMBER OF BUILDINGS THAT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE PILOT. THOSE CONVERSATIONS ARE ONGOING. >> > > WHAT SORT OF FEEDBACK HAS THE ADMINISTRATION OBTAINED CONCERNING THE PILOT?>> > > THANKS FOR THE INQUIRY, COUNCILMEMBER.
WE ARE, AS I STATED IN MY TESTIMONY, CONSULTING WITH THE SUPPORTERS OFTEN RELATING TO THE PROGRAM. WE HAVE GOT SOME RESPONSES PURSUANT TO BOTH THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND TWO OTHER CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COUNCIL AND OTHERS ON THE PROGRAM. I BELIEVE THAT T WE ARE DONE IN AGREEMENT THAT THE PROGRAM HAS ITS EFFICIENCIES WHICH THERE ARE MEANS TO IMPROVE THE PROGRAM. NATURALLY, WE ARE OPEN TO HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS. >> > > HAS ANY OTHER COMMENTS THAT YOU RECEIVED BEEN TAKEN INTO FACTOR TO CONSIDER IN THE FORMULATION OF THE EXPENSE? IS INCLUDED IN THE EXISTING BILL TODAY? >> > > I THINK IT IS. >> YES. > > DOES THE ADMINISTRATION, I IMPLY, I SORT OF KNOW, BUT I HAVE TO ASK THE STRAIGHTFORWARD CONCERN, DOES THE MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE THE COSTS?>> > > ONCE MORE, WE SUPPORT THE EXPANSION OF THE PROGRAM TO SEE WHERE IT CAN GO TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT IT IS A DATA-DRIVEN EXPANSION, TO SEE THAT IT CONTINUES TO BE TARGETED TO THOSE STRUCTURES MORE THAN LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE HARASSMENT. WE HAVE AN INTEREST IN CONTINUING THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND PROACTIVELY DOING THAT. >> > > MANY THANKS. DO ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS SPECIFIC COSTS? COUNCIL MEMBER CHIN.
>> > > MANY THANKS, CHAIR. MY QUESTION IS WITH THE CERTIFICATIONS OF NO HAZMAT PROGRAM HOW DO– WHAT CRITERIA DID YOU MAKE USE OF TO SELECT THE BUILDINGS? AND THE VARIOUS OTHER THING IS I WANT TO SEE WITH THIS EXPANSION, INCLUDING– CANISTER WE INCLUDE AREA THAT IS BEING REZONED AND AREAS THAT ARE SURROUNDING TO THE READ AREA AREA TO ENSURE THAT OCCUPANTS UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR RIGHTS ARE AND THEY CANISTER BATTLE ANY KIND OF HARASSMENT THAT COULD BE HAPPENING. CANISTER YOU ELABORATE ON THAT IN TERMS OF OUTREACH AND PARTNERING WITH COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS? THOSE KINDS OF EFFORTS IN SEVERAL OF THE REZONING LOCATIONS TURNING UP? ALSO REZONING AREAS THAT PASSED IN THE PAST., COUNCILMEMBER, ALLOW ME TO STEP BACK MOMENTARILY.
AS YOU RECOGNIZE, HARASSMENT IS A CHALLENGING ISSUE. THERE IS NOBODY SINGLE RESPONSE TO DEALING WITH HARASSMENT. WHEN YOU THE CITY AGENCIES, THE MAYORS OFFICE TO SHIELD TENANTS HAS USED OTHER TOOLS, EVEN SINCE THE CERTIFICATION OF NO HARASSMENT PILOT PROGRAM HAS COME RIGHT INTO IMPACT. WE ARE WANTING TO ADDRESS PROBLEMS NOT SIMPLY THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, BUT THROUGH IN THE MOMENT RESPONSIVENESS TO HARASSMENT CONCERNS. I JUST DESIRED TO SEE TO IT THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT THE CERTIFICATIONS OF NO HARASSMENT, WHILE IT IS AN VITAL TOOL IN OUR TOOLBOX, IS NOT THE ONLY TOOL. AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT THE INFORMATION THAT WE WERE ABLE TO COLLECT FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS, WE ARE LOOKING AT WHAT GOOD INDICATORS OF HARASSMENT COULD BE.
WE ARE SEEKING TO BROADEN TO ADDITIONAL DISTRICTS WE ARE HAVING DISCUSSIONS REGARDING DISTRICTS THAT LIKEWISE SHARE SOME OF THE DISTRESS INDICATORS THAT THE FIVE DISTRICTS SHARE. WE ARE TAKING A LOOK AT MULTIPLE WAYS IN WHICH WE CONTAINER IDENTIFY DISTRICTS, REZONING DISTRICT IS CERTAINLY ONE METHOD. NEARBY DISTRICTS IS ONE MEANS. WE HAVE NOT YET CHOSE THE EXACT DATA THAT WE ARE GOING TO USE IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT DECISION. >> > > THANKS >>. > > I ' M SORRY. FORGIVE ME. AND REZONINGS ARE COVERED UNDER THE EXISTING REGULATION THAT IS THERE. THE DEVELOPMENT IS NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO COVER NEW ROWS THE REZONING OBSTACLES, SINCE THOSE ARE CURRENTLY COVERED. >> > > YOU ARE STATING THE REZONING LOCATIONS ARE COVERED. ANY KIND OF UPCOMING REZONING AREAS WOULD BE COVERED. >> > > CORRECT. >> > > WHAT SORT OF OUTREACH DOES HPD DO TO THE TENANT AND THOSE STRUCTURES IN THE REZONING LOCATIONS AND SURROUNDING TO REZONING AREAS? >> > > IN REGARDS TO HARASSMENT IN GENERAL, WE HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE ABOUT WHAT TENANTS' ' ' ' CIVIL LIBERTIES AR AND INS WHICH THEY CONTAINER GO FOR HELP ON HARASSMENT.
FOR THE STRUCTURE– NO HARASSMENT PROCEDURE IS BEGAN THEERE'' S A GREAT DEAL OF OUTREACH TO THE LESSEES IN THOSE BUILDINGS TO IDENTIFY WHETHER HARASSMENT AS A MATTER OF FACT TOOK PLACE. THAT IS THE TECHNIQUE IN WHICH WE DO OUTREACH. I BELIEVE WE POST THE BUILDINGS AND SEND OUR INVESTIGATORS TO THE STRUCTURES TO TALK ONE-ON- ONE WITH THE LESSEES. ARE THERE ANY KIND OF OUTREACH BEFORE HAND? LIKE, IN TERMS OF THE REZONING LOCATIONS AND ADJACENT AREAS TO THEM, ARE ANY KIND OF OUTREACH THAT WILL BE EXTENDED TO RESIDENTS? EQUALLY AS A GENERAL EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH, SO INDIVIDUALS UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE RIGHTS.IF IT OCCURS LATER ON THEY KNOW WHERE TO GO. > > SPECIFIC TO THE >> SUFFOCATION OF NO HARASSMENT PROGRAM? > > YES BUT I WILL CERTAINLY LOOK >> INTO THAT AND OBTAIN BACK TO YOU. > > O.K.. >> > > THANKS, CHAIR. >> > > WE WILL CERTAINLY NOW BE HEARING CONCERNS FROM COUNCIL PARTICIPANT LOUIS, NOT COUNCILMEMBER VANESSA WILLIAMS. >> > > MANY THANKS CHAIR CARNEGIE. I SIMPLY HAVE ONE QUICK INQUIRY THAT PIGGYBACKS OFF OF WHAT COUNCILMEMBER 10 SIMPLY ASK YOU. THE MANAGEMENT IS RECEIVING RESPONSES. WHERE IS THAT DETAILS BEING TRACKED? EXISTS A PARTICULAR SITE WHERE THAT DETAILS IS BEING TRACKED? THE SPECIFIED THAT YOU'' RE OBTAINING AND COLLECTING, SO YOU CAN DETERMINE IF THERE WILL BE AN GROWTH IN WHICH IS THAT BEING STORED? WHEN WILL YOU BE ABLE TO SHARE THAT DETAILS? THANK YOU.

ALL IN WHICH CAME OUT OF THIS DATA-DRIVEN COLLECTIVE PROCESS. > > THANK YOU QUITE. THANKS MR. CHAIR. I WILL WAIT UNTIL WE COVER SOME OF THE VARIOUS OTHER COSTS. > > MANY THANKS, COUNCILMEMBER. I WANT TO EXTEND> THE COURTESY TO COUNCIL MEMBER BARON TO GET TALK ABOUT HER COSTS. ALSO WE HAVE BEEN JOINED BY COUNCILMEMBER HELEN ROSENTHAL. > > MANY THANKS, MR. CHAIR. THANK YOU TO THE PANEL FOR COMING. AND THE BILL THAT THE CHAIR IS REFERRING TO IS INTRODUCTORY 1817, WHICH TALKS ABOUT HAVING WRITTEN ALERT BEING GIVEN >> TO THOSE CANDIDATES AS TO THE STANDINGS OF THE APPLICATIONS WHEN THEY APPLY FOR REAL ESTATE. WHETHER THEY HAVE BEEN APPROVED OR TURNED DOWN. AND TO PROVIDE THE opportunity and the time TO REACT TO ANY REJECTIONS BY GIVING THEM ALSO DIRECTION AS TO HOW THEY CONTAINER FILE AN ALLURE. IN YOUR REMARKS ADDITIONAL THE COSTS CLAIMS THAT THE DECLARING OF A GRIEVANCE WOULD BE WITH HPD OR HDC IF THEY BELIEVE THEY HAVE BEEN REJECTED IN MISTAKE. HDD WOULD BE REQUIRED TO OFFER TRAINING TO THE MARKETPLACE AGENT WHICH THERE BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CONFORMITY LINE TO BE ESESTABLISHED, SO TH APPLICANTS CAN HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THEIR CONCERNS ADDRESSED. IN YOUR COMMENTS YOU CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE THE CAPABILITY, YOU WISHED TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO REACT TO UPDATING YOUR ADVERTISING AND MARKETING GUIDELINES.

DOES THE DOB, HAVE AN OVERSIGHT OVER GENERAL CONTRACTORS? >> > > THE DIVISION OF BUILDINGS BELONGS TO OUR NEED TO CONCERN PERMITS TO ENTITIES EXECUTING FUNCTION DOES HAVE A PERFUNCTORY PROCEDURE IN POSITION FOR DETERMINING PROFESSIONALS.
I WOULD NOT SAY THAT WE HAVE AN OVERSIGHT OF SAID PROFESSIONALS, WHICH IS THE REASON THE PROPOSAL IS BEFORE THIS ADVICE TODAY ON LICENSING GENERAL CONTRACTORS. >> > > ARE THEY CURRENTLY LICENSED BY ANY OTHER FIRM? >> > > SPECIALISTS MAY BE CERTIFIED BY OUR COLLEAGUES IN THE DEPARTMENT OF CUSTOMER WORKER DEFENSE.

THIS ADVISE REALLY THOUGHTFULLY PUT WITH EACH OTHER LEGISLATION TO MAKE SURE THE CONTINUATION OF OUR SHARED GOAL OF SAFETY AND SECURITY AND WE HAVE SEEN THAT THROUGH 196. YOU HAVE SEEN THE DIVISION DO THAT VIA THE POSITIVE EVALUATIONS. THE COSTS BEFORE THE COUNCIL IS SEEKING TO ADDRESS A HUGE ISSUE OF OUR CAPACITY TO GUARANTEE LIABILITY. THAT IS THE DEPARTMENT ISSUED LICENSES TO OVER 20 VARIOUS ENTITIES IN THIS CITY PERFORMING WORK WITH TASK SITES. FOR GENERAL CONTRACTORS WE DON'' T CERTIFICATE CONTRACTORS IN THE VERY SAME FASHION. WHAT WE WOULD BE PERFORMING WITH THIS BILL IS ENSURING THAT THERE IS REAL RESPONSIBILITY ON JOB SITES FOR THE SUCCESS OF THAT TASK SITE AND FOR THE SUCCESS OF THAT FUNCTION. OBVIOUSLY, WE WOULD DEEM SUCCESS AS WORKERS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC WERE SAFE AND KEPT SAFE DURING THE PERIOD ANND CONCLUSION OF THAT TASK.
WE ARE SEEKING TO BRING REAL RESPONSIBILITY TO THE FUNCTION THAT TAKES PLACE AND GUARANTEE THAT WE CONTAINER HOLD ONE ACTOR– CRIMINALS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTION AND ACTIVITIES THAT MAY REASON FATALITIES AND OTHER INCIDENCES ON A TASK WEBSITE. >> > > WHAT WOULD BE THE PRICE FOR SIGNING UP AS A SPECIALIST WITH DOB? >> > > CURRENTLY, WE DO CHARGE FOR THE RANGE OF REGISTRATION CHARGES, ENROLLMENTS THAT WE HAVE. THEY CAN SPEND BETWEEN $80 AND $300. WE ANTICIPATE THAT WITH THIS EXPENSE WE WILL BE REVISITING THE CHARGES. WE WILL CERTAINLY DO SO BY REGULATION, BUT THE EXPECTANCY IS THAT THE FEES WILL CERTAINLY BE IN MAINTAINING WITH A FEW OF OUR OTHER COSTS. >> > > SO, DOES THE ADMINISTRATION AGREE WITH THIS BILL? >> > > YES >>. > > EXIST ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES ON THIS SPECIFIC COSTS? COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS. >> > > THANKS, CHAIR. I JUST HAVE A FAST QUESTION. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER, FOR BEING RIGHT HERE. I JUST DESIRED YOU TO SHOW TO United States POSSIBLY HOW COULD THIS COSTS ADVERSELY AFFECT LIKE ANNE BROWN GENERAL CONTRACTORS WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE SERVICE PROVIDERS, BUT MAY NOT BE CONSCIOUS OF ANY OF THE PROBLEMS THAT MAY SHOW UP? >> > > THANKS REALLY MUCH, COUNCIL MEMBER. OUR MWD POPULATION OF CONTRACTORS IS INCREDIBLY ESSENTIAL TO THIS CITY. OBVIOUSLY, AS WELL AS THE DIVISION. WE ARE PARTICULARLY CONSCIOUS OF THAT GROUP OF CONTRACTORS AND THEIR ABILITY TO REMAIN TO ENJOY THE WORK THAT THEY DO AND DO SO SAFELY. AND I WILL CERTAINLY STATE, THE VAST BULK OF CONTRACTORS WHO ARE ACTIVE IN THIS CITY ARE ACCOUNTABLE PROFESSIONALS WHO DO ABIDE BY THE CODE. WHAT WE HAVE DEVELOPED WITH THE REGULATION IS WHAT WE BELIEVE PRETTY GOOD SENSE STRATEGY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'' T CREATE SYNTHETIC BARS TO ENTRY.
WHEN THE COSTS GOES RIGHT INTO IMPACT, WE WANT CONTRACTORS THAT ARE PRACTICING AND THOSE WHO ARE CURRENTLY EXERCISING WITH US AND ARE ACTIVE IN OUR SYSTEM WILL CERTAINLY BE GRANDFATHERED. ONCE MORE, AS COUNCIL PARTICIPANT RIVERA AIMED OUT IN HER QUESTION, WE ARE TAKING A LOOK AT OPPORTUNITIES TO SUPPORT THE SECTOR AND AT THE SAME TIME BRING ALL OF US UP IN REGARDS TO SAFETY AND SECURITY COMPLIANCE. WE THINK WE CANISTER DO BOTH. WE UNDERSTAND WE HAVE DONE BOTH IN THE PAST BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT OUR ALLIES REQUIREMENT TO BE ABLE TO EFFICIENTLY ARRIVE. WE HAVE INCORPORATED IN THE BILL A ONE-WAY FOR APPLICATION THAT WE THINK IS APPROPRIATE TO THE REQUIREMENTS THAT WE ARE SETTINNG FORTH. AND ALSO RESPONSIVE TO THE TRUTH THAT WE HAVE CONTRACTORS WORKING NOW AND THEY WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE GRANDFATHERED INTO THESE STIPULATIONS. OBVIOUSLY, THEY WILL CERTAINLY OBTAIN PULLED RIGHT INTO THE LOOP WHEN THE MOMENT COMES.
WE DON'' T BELIEVE THERE ARE ANY OBSTACLES TO ENTRY MUCH OUR MW BD CONTRACTORS WITH THE BILL THAT WE HAVE PROPOSED AND OUR COMPANY BELIEVE THE LARGE BULK OF OUR CONTRACTORS WHO ARE SAFE AND CODE COMPLIANT AND RUN An EXTREMELY GREAT BUSINESS WILL CERTAINLY BE ABLE TO VERY SEAMLESSLY TRANSITION INTO THIS NEW STRUCTURE. >> > > THANKS FOR THAT.

WE CERTAINLY WERE ENCOURAGING THE FIRST TIME THE ARRANGEMENTS WERE EXPANDED FROM DECEMBER TO JUNE OF THIS YEAR.
AGAIN, EVEN AFTER THAT, WE WERE ENCOURAGING OWNERS TO DO IT. I ASSUME THE CITY HAS AMONG ONE OF THE MOST DURABLE CODES. NOT ONLY AROUND GAS PIPING, BUT AS A WHOLE. WE HAVE A FEW OF ONE OF THE MOST DURABLE CODES IN THIS NATION. SO, I THINK THE SAFETY AND SECURITY IS THERE. I THINK THE GOOD REASONING BEHIND THE BILLS TODAY, AND WE CERTAINLY APPEARANCE AHEAD TO CONTINUING TO FUNCTION WITH THE COUNCIL ON OPPORTUNITIES TO STRENGTHEN WHERE WE MAY HAVE THEM. >> > > AND I KNOW THAT YOU STATED THAT YOU HADN'' T HEARD ANY REQUESTS FROM RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY PROPRIETORS IN THOSE DISTRICTS TO PROLONG THE TARGET DATE.

I BECAME AWARE OF OTHER CONCERNS IN COUNCILMAN COO'' S AREA AND I MAKE CERTAIN THIS HOLDS TRUE THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
TO MAKE POINTS AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE, AND MOST OF US WANT THAT GIVEN THE DISASTERS AND THE VARIOUS FATALITIES THAT HAPPENED IN THEBOROUGH OF MANHATTAN. HOW DO YOU NAVIGATE EVERY ONE OF THAT, YOU KNOW– YOU CAN JUST STROLL IN AND EVALUATE OR DO YOU NEED, YOU RECOGNIZE A WARRANT OR HOW DOES THAT FUNCTION? I KNOW THAT IN GLEN OAKS WHERE WE WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH THE GAS OPERATIONS PEOPLE, IT WAS A LONG PERIOD OF TIME TO GO THE TO EVERY MOMS AND DAD THAT WAS IMPACTED. THEY DISCOVERED A GREAT DEAL OF UNSETTLING MATTERS. OVENS LINKED IN SOME CASES, DECADES AGO. THANKFULLY NOBODY BLUE UP OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT BUT HOW TO WE WORK TO SEE TO IT WE GET COLLABORATION AND MAXIMUM SECURITY? >> > > THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER. I ASSUME, YOU RECOGNIZE, THAT IS An EXCELLENT CONCERN YOU RAISE AND ONCE MORE, SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD NEED TO DISCUSS FURTHER WITH THIS BOARDS AND WITH THE INDUSTRY, CERTAINLY. AND WITH HOMEOWNER.
THE ISSUES ARE LEGITIMATE AND REAL. THINK ON, WE'' RE ALL CURIOUS ABOUT ENSURING SAFETY AND SECURITY AND IN WHICH WE CAN, MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO INCREASE THAT. CERTAINLY.Y. WERE THE FOR United States TO PERFORM THAT AND AS I DISCUSSED, WE ALREADY HAVE A FEW OF ONE OF THE MOST STRENUOUS CODES IN THE NATION. SO, YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE CONTRIBUTED TO THAT AND THAVALUABLE. WE DO NEED TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION ABOUT THE INFLUENCE, ONCE AGAIN, AS I STATED, TO PRICE IN ADDITION TO AN PROPRIETOR'' S CAPACITY TO ATTAIN THE DEMANDS IN THE EXPENSE.
>> > > I KNOW IT ' S DIFFICULT AND, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE ISSUES I HAVE IS THE SIZE OF TIME THAT INDIVIDUALS LACK SERVE, ESPECIALLY ON GAS AND OBVIOUSLY, IT'' S SIMPLY– I INTENDED TO PUT THAT OUT. I AM THANKFUL TO HEAR YOU'' RE TALKING W AS YOU ALWAYS DO, WITH THE STAKEHOLDERS INCLUDED. I WOULD MORE THAN HAPPY TO ONWARD YOU IF YOU NEED MORE. THANKS. THANKS, MR. CHAIR. I NEED TO GO OFF. >> > > MANY THANKS. SO THE FINAL CONCERN, I AM SORRY, THE FINE WILLA EXPENSE INCLUDED IN THE SCHEDULE LATE, AS A RESULT OF THAT LATENESS, I AM GOING TO READ THE CONCERNS INTO THE DOCUMENT. AND NOT NEED THE ANSWERS TODAY BUT HAVE A REASONABLE EXPLAINING THAT YOU WILL RETURN TO ME AFTER I REVIEW THEM WHICH IS INTRODUCTORY 2265, A NEIGHBORHOOD REGULATION TO ACT MEND THE CITY OF NEW YORK IN REGULAR TO [FAINT] HOW DO THE REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE COSTS DIFFER FROM THE EXISTING NEEDS A LANDLORD MOUNTS, OVEN KNOB COVERS? CANISTER PERMANENT OVEN– I'' M SORRY.
CANISTER PERMANENT STOVE SAFETY KNOBS WITH INCORPORATED LOCKING MEASURES BE SET UP ON EXISTING STOVES? WOULD THIS EXPENSE REQUIRE A PROPRIETOR TO INSTALL A NEW STOVE? WOULD A TENANT BE ABLE TO CHOOSE WHETHER THEY NEED PERMANENT STOVE SAFETY AND SECURITY KNOBS WITH INTEGRATED SECURING ACTIONS OR STEVE KNOB COVERS? IS THERE A BENEFIT TO ONE OVER THE OTHER? JUST HOW MUCH DO PERMANENT SAFETY KNOBS WENT GRATED LOCKING SOLUTION COST? DOES THE ADMINISTRATION SUPPORT THE COSTS? IF NOT, WHAT ARE THE INTEREST IN THE COSTS AND ARE THERE SUGGESTED MODIFICATIONS? AGAIN, THERE IS A PRACTICAL ASSUMPTION THAT IN A TIMELY FASHION YOU WILL CERTAINLY RETURN. >> > > CERTAINLY, THANKS, CHAIR. >> > > THANKS, I HAVE COMMENTS FROM MY COLLEAGUE BEN CALIS. >> > > COMMISSIONER LARACA, THIS IS THE VERY FIRST TIME I SEE YOU TESTIFYING. I HAVE CRUCIAL QUESTIONS. HOW ARE YOU DELIGHTING IN BEING COMMISSIONER AND HOW WAS YOUR SUMMER SEASON? >> > > I CAN EFFECTIVELY REPORT OR GLADLY REPORT THAT I SUCH AS BOTH. JUST LIKE EVERY LITTLE THING, IT'' S ALWAYS TOO SHORT.
>> > > I GENERATE MY TIME. >> > > THANK YOU, SIR. >> > > THANK YOU FOR YOUR STATEMENT. I BELIEVE WE'' RE GOING TO BEGIN TO HEAR STATEMENT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THANKS AGAIN COMMISSIONERS. FOR YOUR TIME ONCE AGAIN, HPD IF YOU CAN OBTAIN BACK TO United States ON THE EXCEPTIONAL THINGS, IT WOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY VALUED IN A PROMPT STYLE. >> > > THANK YOU >>. > > THANK YOU. FIRST WE ' LL ACCEPT TESTIMONY FROM SETTING UP PARTICIPANT RICHARD GODFRIED. THIS THEN MURRAY COX AND ORLANDO GUZMAN. IF THE FREE COULD SIGN UP WITH AT THE PLATFORM, WE'' LL BEGIN THE TESTAMENT WHEN YOU ' RE READY. ONCE AGAIN, RICHARD GODFRIED, MURRAY COX, AND ORLANDO GUZMAN. ASSEMBLY MEMBER GODFRIED. I ASSUME WE LOST YOUR ENTIRE PANEL. YOU'' RE ON YOUR OWN. ONLY, WE CANISTER ' T ADD THE TIME OF THOSE NOT THERE.
THANK YOU. THEY'' RE IN THE TERRACE. CONTAINER WE PROVIDE ONE SECONDLY TO JOIN US AT THE PODIUM? THANK YOU. YOU TIN BEGIN WHEN READY MUCH I ASK THAT YOU OFFER YOUR NAME BEFORE THE TESTAMENT. WE'' RE ALLOWING 2 MINS ON THE CLOCK. NOT FOR THE SETTING UP PARTICIPANT BUT ALSO FOR THE PARTICIPANTS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THANK YOU SETTING UP MEMBER GODFRIED, IF YOU COULD PLEASE LEAD US OFF. >> > > THANKS. I AM SETTING UP PARTICIPANT RICHARD GODFRIED AND AFFIRMING IN BEHALF OF STATE LEGISLATOR BRAD HOLMAN. WE ASSISTANCE INTRODUCTORY 2309 INTRODUCED BY COUNCIL MEMBER CALOS. THE COSTS WILL CERTAINLY STRENGTHEN THE CITY'' S CAPABILITY TO MAKE SURE COMPLIANCE WITH STATE AND SEA LEGISLATIONS. THE CITY'' S REAL ESTATE COST CRISIS HAS BEEN INTENSIFIED BY THE PROLIFERATION OF ILLEGAL TEMPORARY SERVICES. THEY REASON RENTS TO RISE AND TAKE AN APPROXIMATED 15,000 DIVISIONS OUT OF THE REAL ESTATE MARKET. BY OPENING UP THOSE UNITS TO TRANSIENTS, PLATFORMS LIKE AIRbnb COMPROMISE THE HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE AND SAFETY FOR PEOPLE THAT STAY IN APARTMENTS.
THAT HAVE MADE FANTASTIC PROGRESSION, BUT WE HAVE MUCH TO GO. IT'' S ESTIMATED THAT 85% OF ALL ACTIVE AIRbnb LISTINGS IN NEW YORK CITY ARE ILLEGAL. INTRODUCTION 22309 WILL CERTAINLY OFFER REGULATORS NEW TOOLS BY, TO NAME A FEW POINTS, ONE NEEDING SO- CALLED HOSTS TO ACQUIRE An ENROLLMENT NUMBER AND REGISTER ANNUALLY. TWO, REQUIRE SYSTEMS SUCH AS AIRbnb OR HOME AWAY TO HAVE REGISTRATION NUMBERS FOR UNITS THEY ADVERTISE. WHILE WE ASSISTANCE 2309, WE SUGGEST THE COMPLYING WITH MODIFICATIONS.
ONE, MAKE THE TEMPORARY RENTAL COMPUTER REGISTRY OPENLY VIBE WITH REGISTRATION FIGURES AND COMPLETE ADDRESS INFORMATION. 2, CALL FOR AN ANNUAL REPORT BY THE CITY ON THE PROCEDURE OF THE REGISTRATION SYSTEM. AND, 3, CALL FOR, REQUIRE SUITABLE TAX OBLIGATION REGISTRATION COLLECTION AND REPAYMENT DEVICES. SIMILAR REGULATIONS HAVE ACTUALLY COME ON SANTA MONICA AND BOSTON. IN BOSTON, AIRbnb HAD TO WITHDRAW OVER HALF OF ITS LISTINGS BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT REGISTERED. AIRbnb AND COMPARABLE PLATFORMS MAINTAIN SAYING WHAT EXCELLENT NEIGHBORS THEY ARE. BY MAKING SURE THAT THEIR TECHNIQUES LIVE UP TO STATE AND CITY SPECIFICATIONS AND REGULATIONS, INTRODUCTORY 2309 WILL CERTAINLY ASSIST MAKE THAT SO. THANK YOU QUITE. >> > > MANY THANKS, ASSEMBLY MEMBER. ANYBODY ELSE CAN GO NEXT.
>> > > GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS ORLANDO GUZMAN. I AM THE DIRECTOR FOR NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION AT THE MIX ALLIANCE AND WHERE OUR CITIZEN AREA ORGANIZATION IN NORTH BROOKLYN. OF ALL, IT'' S WONDERFUL SEEING YOU ALL RIGHT HERE AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SCHEDULING THIS HEARING. IT'' S BEEN, I ASSUME, CONCERNING 16 MONTHS GIVEN THAT I HAVE AFFIRMING RIGHT HERE. GLAD TO BE RIGHT HERE. I AM RIGHT HERE IN SUPPORT OF THE PARTNERSHIP, AND TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF INTRODUCTION 2309. NORTH BROOKLYN IS ONE OF THE AREAS WITH THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OFLESSINGS OF ILLEGAL– LIFE LISTINGS OF ILLEGAL SHORT-TERM LEASINGS IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK CITY. I DESIRE TO PLACE IN CONCRETE INSTANCES WHAT EQUATE INTO THE AREA. WE HAVE A WAVE OF DISPLACEMENT WHERE TENANTS ARE BEING DISPLACED EACH DAY, AND THERE IS An ABSENCE OF GAIN ACCESS TO, ESPECIALLY TO RENTAL FEE SUPPORTED APARTMENT OR CONDOS.
AT THE VERY SAME TIME, TENANTS ARE BEING PHASED IN– ENCOUNTERING HARASSMENT, CONFRONTING LANDLORDS WAREHOUSING UNITS, DENYING TO LISTING THOSE SYSTEMS INTO THE MARKET FOR RENT STABILIZED UNITS. AT THE VERY SAME TIME, LISTING THOSE UNITS IN VARIOUS SYSTEMS AS I TEMPORARY SERVICE. WE UNDERSTAND TOURISTS CONCERN THE CITY AND INTEND TO INTRODUCE IT BUT SOMETIMES THERE ARE CONSTRUCTS WHERE CELEBRATIONS ARE GOING ON UNTIL 2:00, 3:00, 4:00 IN THE MORNING ON A MONDAY. YOU USEED TO THINK WHAT YOU'' RE GOING TO FEEL IF YOU GO TO SOMEONE and work LISTED BELOW YOU OR ABOVE YOU IS PARTYING SINCE THAT COMING OUT OF THE CITY. THIS IS GOING TO ASSIST CURB A BIT THE PROHIBITED LISTINGS. THE OTHER ESSENTIAL POINT IS THAT WE DON'' T OPPOSE RENTERS WANTING TO OBTAIN SOMEONE TO ASSIST WITH THE LEASE.
WE'' RE CONCERNED ABOUT PRODUCTION A BUSINESS FROM DID OF AREN'' T RENTERS, LANDLORDS AND ONLINE OPERATING SYSTEMS OUT OF THE VARIATION OF NEW YORKERS. THANK YOU A LOT. I AM HERE TO SOLUTION AND CONCERNS. >> > > THANKS FOR THE PERFECT TIMING, MR. GUZMAN. >> > > GREAT AFTERNOON, EVERYBODY. I AM MURRAY COX, THE OWNER OF INSIDE AIRbnb. A JOB THAT COLLECTS DATA WORLDWIDE. I HAVE COME TO BE AN PROFESSIONAL ON POLICY GUIDELINE AND PARTICIPATION BY COLLABORATING WITH CITIES ALSO ALL OVER THE WORLD. I AM A PARTICIPANT OF THE UNION AGAINST LEGAL HOTELS. YOU WILL HEAR FROM OTHER TENANTS TODAY. I ASSUME CHAIRCON– THANK CHAIR CORNEGY FOR LETTING ME TESTIFY AND OTHERS FOR HAVING ME RIGHT HERE. FOR SEVERAL YEARS, THE CITY BATTLED TO CONTROL ILLEGAL TEMPORARY RENTALS. IN FEBRUARY 2020, BEFORE COVID, THERE WERE 50,000 LISTINGS, 26,000 WERE ENTIRE HOME LISTINGS, OVER HALF.
> > SPECIALISTS MAY BE CERTIFIED BY OUR COLLEAGUES IN THE DEPARTMENT OF CUSTOMER WORKER DEFENSE. > > IF THERE ARE NO MORE QUESTIONS ON THAT SPECIFIC EXPENSE WE WILL MOVE INTO 2259, A LOCAL REGULATION IN CONNECTION TO AN EXTENSION OF THE DEADLINES FOR EVALUATION AND MODIFICATION OF THE BUILDING VOID GAS PIPING SYSTEM INSERTING COMMUNITY DISTRICTS. > > WE– I INDICATE I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT ANY WAYS YOU BELIEVE WOULD BE MORE EFFECTIVE OUTREACH AS I DISCUSSED. > > THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER. > > THANK YOU FOR YOUR TESTAMENT.THE CITY SAID THAT UP TO 15,000, NIGHTS OF REAL ESTATE HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THE REAL ESTATE MARKET AND THEY CLAIMED THAT IN 2020, AND AS LOTS OF AS 35,000 WERE ILLEGAL.
INTRO 2309 BASED ON SANTA MONICA LAWS WHERE THEY PRESENTED IT AND RETURNED 400 UNITS BACK TO THE IRREVERSIBLE RESIDENTIAL MARKET AND THAT IS IN A CITY 1% THE SIZE OF NEW YORK CITY CITY. REGARDING 90,000 LOCALS THERE. 2309 IS REQUIRED TO MINIMIZE ILLEGAL CONVERGES, REAL ESTATE AND RISKY STRUCTURES, REMOVAL AND USE OF LEASE AND SUPPORTS OF TOURISTS IN BUILDINGS AND NEIGHBORHOODS. WE THINK THAT THERE ARE ESSENTIAL ATTRIBUTES THAT SHOULDN'' T BE ELIMINATED FROM THE COSTS, INCLUDING INFORMATION COVERAGE, REQUIRING TENANTS TO ASK APPROVAL AND TO RESTRICTP HOSTED RENTALS IN ONE- OR 2- FAMILY MINUTES. I URGE THE COUNCIL TO PASS INTRO 2309, A AND I THANKS. >> > > THANK YOU. I INTEND TO FACTOR OUT, THOUGH, YOUR STATEMENT INCLUDING FOOTNOTES WAS VERY REVITALIZING. I AM A RESEARCH ADDICT MYSELF. I APPRECIATED AND I GUESS MO MY RECREATION THAT NEVER EVER OCCURS, I WILL CERTAINLY PROBABLY CHECK OUT VIA IT. >> > > I APPROPRIATE THAT.
>> > > THANK YOU A LOT FOR THE DETAIL. >> > > OK >>. > > I VALUE THE SUGGESTION ALSO THANKS. WE'' RE GOING TO PHONE CALL THE NEXT PANEL. WHICH CONTAIN– IT YOU SEARCH. I'' M SORRY. INDEED. I AM SORRY BEN CALOS HAS QUESTIONS. >> I SAY SORRY. > > I WILL TAKE E 3 MINS ASK THE INQUIRIES AND THANKS FOR AWAITING 3– SORRY, TWO HOURS TO TESTIFY. FOR HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM OF TEMPORARY LEASINGS AND WHY IS IT AN PROBLEM RADIOIZING TO THE LEVEL OF INTERVENTION AND FROM MURRAY COX, THE CHAIR, A PREVIOUS ANALYST THE COMMON COUNCIL MENTIONED, THERE ARE A GREAT DEAL OF VIVID GRAPHES. IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN THE GRAPHES AND SOME OF THE INFORMATION. >> > > WE STARTED SERVICING THIS CONCERN IN 2004. WE MADE OUR BIGGEST, I BELIEVE, PRELIMINARY PROGRESSION WAS WHEN WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE MAYOR'' S OFFICE OF SPECIAL ENFORCEMENT, WE DRAFTED AND IN 2010, GOT PASSED THE ILLEGAL HOTEL REGULATION.
A FEW YEARS AFTER THAT, WELL, THE MAYOR'' S OFFICE OF SPECIAL ENFORCEMENT, HAVE AN BEFORE THAT LAW WAS REALLY ACTIVE IN AIDING TO TAKE CARE OF PROHIBITED RESORTS. THEY WERE REALLY AGGRESSIVE IN APPLYING THE REGULATION. THE LEGISLATION– THE PROHIBITED HOTEL ISSUE IS A TROUBLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT'' S A MEANS FOR LANDLORDS TO WITHDRAW RENT-REGULATED DEVICES FROM THE REAL ESTATE MARKET AND STILL ATTRACT NEXT FROM THE DEVICES. IT WITHDRAWS FRAGMENTS FROM THE REAL ESTATE MARKET THAT ARE QUICKLY NEEDED AND AS HAS BEEN ALREADY CLAIMED, YOU RECOGNIZE, FOR THE REGULAR LESSEES IN THE DEVELOPING WHERE DEVICES ARE MADE USE OF FOR PROHIBITED HOTELS OPERATIONS, YOU HAVE NOISE TROUBLES, SECURITY. YOU HAVE UNFAMILIAR PEOPLE IN THE CONSTRUCTING THAT NOBODY UNDERSTANDS THAT THEY ARE. THERE ARE FIRE, UNIQUE FIRE CODE PROVISIONS THAT PUT ON HOTELS THAT DON'' T RELATE TO ILLEGAL HOTEL PROCEDURES. >> > > MANY THANKS, SETTING UP PARTICIPANT. I HAVE ONE MORE MINUTE FOR THE SOLUTION TO MY QUESTIONS. IF YOU WOULDN'' T MIND YIELDING TO MURRAY COX. >> > > THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN. THERE ARE TWO AT THE KNOW OF MY STATEMENT AND WITH SOME DATA ON THE SECOND TO THE LAST PAGE WITH A TIMELINE OF THE VARIETY OF AIRbnb LISTINGS GIVEN THAT 2014.
I HAVE CONSTANTLY CORRELATED THEM WITH SECRET EVENTS LIKE GUIDELINE ENFORCEMENT. THE TREND IS BEING UP UNTIL 2020 UNTIL COVID. NONE OF THE GUIDELINES HAD ANY INFLUENCE. IT ALSO PROVIDES An EXCELLENT TIMELINE OF THE VARIOUS EVENTS THAT HAPPEN. ON THE LAST PAGE, I DID AN ANALYSIS FOR THE EUROPE OWN PARLIAMENT. AND A RECORD THAT INCLUDED A CASE STUDY OF NEW YORK CITY. AND I LOWERED THE LISTINGS LIKE COMMERCIAL. A PERSON THAT HAS GREATER THAN ONE HOME ON AIRBNB, RENTING OUT FULL-TIME AND PRIVATE SPACES. THEY MADE UP 45% OF LISTINGS. 82% OF EARNINGS AND THERE ARE VARIOUS OTHER STATISTICS THERE TOO THAT YOU CANISTER ALWAYS ASK ME ABOUT LATER.
>> > > MANY THANKS BROWSE FOR YOUR TESTAMENT AND THE MINDFUL DETAIL THAT THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER PUT INTO THE PANEL. VALUE IT. >> > > THANKS >>. >'> WE ' RE GOING TO TELEPHONE CALL THE 2ND PANEL AND THAT CONSISTS OF APRIL McGUYVER, D.J. DANDOPONI AND NICKY JAY FRANZITA I SAY SORRY IF I HAVEN'' T GOTTEN ANYBODY ' S NAME CORRECT. I ASK THAT PRIOR TO THE TESTAMENT, YOU OFFER'YOUR NAME SO IT ' S DETAILED IN THE DOCUMENT. >> YOU CAN BEGIN WHEN
READY. > > GOOD MID-DAY. JAY CARNEGIE AND COUNCIL MEMBER CALOS. I THANK YOU FOR THE TIME. AND THANK THE COUNCIL PARTICIPANT FOR SPONSORING THIS. REPRESENTING 300 HOTELS WITH ROUGHLY 85,000 AREAS AND PRECOVID, WE HAD 35,000 WORKERS. WE ARE COMING OUT HIGHLY IN SUPPORT OF INTRODUCTORY 2309. FOR YEARS, THE PROHIBITED SHORT-TERM RENTAL STRAIGHT IS I SUBSTANTIAL ISSUE AS IT IS FOR THE HOUSING SECTOR. THE SHORT-TERM SERVICES UNDERCUT THE ECONOMIC VIGOR OF THE INDUSTRY IN NEW YORK AND THE VAST INCREASE TO THE CITY'' S TAX INCOME,$ 3.5 BILLION PRECOVID. AND ON THE THE SENTOR OF $22 BILLION. THEY HAVE ALSO– HOUSING AS WE KNOW, AND THEY STRONGLY SUPPORT THE PASSAGE. PROVIDING An IMPORTANT ACTION IN CURBING THE ISSUE OF ILLEGAL HOTELS AND OUR INDUSTRY IS DECIMATED WITH THE ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF COVID, OF 35,000 STAFF MEMBERS, BEAR WELL I 15,000 ARE AT THEIR JOBS AND THE TEMPORARY SERVICE INDUSTRY IS THRIVING. THE RESERVATION SERVICES TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THOSE WHO– IN THOSE SYSTEMS AND THIS BILL WOULD PREVENT– PUT IN PLACE. I MAY MENTION THAT BOSTON AND SANTA MONICA HAVE IT AND HAVE HAD ACTUALLY MALE RESULTS.
NOT JUST FOR OUR MARKET BUT THE CITIES ALSO. AND WE, WE WANT– HANDING STRONGLY REMEMBERS IT TO BE PASSED EXPEDITIOUSLY. IT WILL ENABLE THE REBIRTH OF OUR MARKET AND BRING BACK BOTTOMS IN TAXES OF CITY AND PRESCRIPTION BACK EMPLOYMENT TO THOUSANDS OF LAID OFF EMPLOYEES. THANKS. >> > > THANKS FOR YOUR TESTIMONY. >> > > THANK YOU. > > NOW. > > OK. [FAINT]> > > GREAT AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS APRIL McGUYVER, THE EXEC MANUFACTURER OF THE PIPES OH, CITY OF NEW YORK, PORTRAYING MALL AND BIG UNION, HUGE UNION MASTER PLUMBINGS, manufactures and engineers.
THE MISSION IS TO SAFEGUARD THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELLNESS AND SAFETY WITH THE ENFORCEMENT OF RISK-FREE PIPES CODEES. I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE CONSULTED WITH YOUR WORKPLACE SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LOCAL LEGISLATION 52 RELATED COSTS. THAT IS WHAT I AM BELOW TO GO OVER TODAY. AS WE HAVE MENTIONED TO YOUR WORKPLACE BEFORE, WE'' RE COMPONENT OF THE ASSUMPTIONS FUNCTIONING GROUP WITH CON ED, THE NATIONAL GRID, THE NORTHEAST GAS ASSOCIATION AND MASTER'' S COUNCIL. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER THE LION’S SHARE OF THE LAST YEARS ON GAS SAFETY AND SECURITY LAWS. IT'' S ESSENTIAL TO THE MARKET AND THE SECURITY OF NEW YORKERS. SO WE DO TAKE THE LOCAL LEGISLATION 152 EVALUATIONS QUITE SERIOUSLY. AND WE ARE RIGHT HERE TO MENTION 2377, BUT I DID WISH TO SAY, WITH RESPECT TO TWO 59, 2321, AND 2361 THAT, YOU UNDERSTAND, REGIONAL 152 IS MANDATING CRITICAL SECURITY EVALUATIONS.
NONE EXPANSION OR HARDSHIP PROGRAM FACTOR TO CONSIDER NEED TO BE THOROUGHLY BALANCED BY THE COUNCIL WITH THE PURPOSE OF SAFETY. OUR KEY EMPHASIS GETS ON 2377, WHICH LOOKS FOR TO CLARIFY THE SCENE OF THE REGIONAL REGULATION 52 PERIODIC GAS EVALUATION. WE COMMEND THE CHAIR FOR ACKNOWLEDGING THE REGULATION BECAUSE ITS EXECUTION WHICH HAS TO DO WITH 2 YEARS CURRENTLY. AND IT DOES REQUIREMENT TO BE FIXED. HOWEVER, WE RESPECTFULLY BELIEVE IT DEALS WITH SHORT OF THE REQUIRED AMENDMENTS AND I DID– I WILL CERTAINLY SUBMIT IF I HAVEN'' T ALREADY, ELECTRONICALLY, MY FULL CREATED TESTIMONY. I WON'' T GO VIA IT'. IT ' S A LITTLE LONG. BUT WE DO BELIEVE THAT THE SCOPE SECTION REQUIRES EXTRA REVISIONS. AS OPPOSED TO WHAT IS PROPOSED RIGHT HERE. IT SHOULD CLAIM THAT, OH, SORRY. THANK YOU. IT NEEDS TO STATE THAT THE SSCOPE AND INSPECTION SHOULD INCLUDE ALL AESTHETICALLY ACCESSIBLE GAS LINES. NOT INSIDE RESIDENTIAL TENANTS BASES, BUT ANYWHERE THE POINT OF ACCESS LIES. AND I WILL REST THERE. I DO HAVE SEVERAL OTHER ITEMS AND I HOPE THAT WE CAN CONTINUE THIS DISCUSSION WITH YOUR WORKPLACE AND DIVISION OF BUILDINGS.
>> > > I DEDICATED TO REMAIN TO DEAL WITH YOU TO BARGAIN THOSE COSTS TO An AREA WHERE IT ' S NOT HAZARDOUS? AND I HAVE COMMITTED TO DOING THAT. THE LAST FEW DAYS, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO GET BACK AND FORTH AND DOESN'' T MEAN THAT THE SETTLEMENT STOPPED AND YOU HAVE BEEN AROUND LONG SUFFICIENT TO KNOW THE PROCESESS IS NECESSARY.

PETER AMATTO, FROM CSEC FOR SHORT, WHOSE MEMBERS CONSIST OF SITE-SAFETY MANAGERS AND COORDINATORS IN NEW YORK CITY CITY. OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS INCLUDE THE FORMER DOB INSPECTORS AND MYSELF, A PREVIOUS ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER AT THE DIVISION OF BUILDINGS. CSEC'' S GOAL IS TO ADVOCATE FOR SECURITY ON AND AROUND NEW YORK CITY BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION SITES. THE LAST FEW YEARS, WE FUNCTIONED CAREFULLY WITH THE BRAND-NEW YORK CITY COUPLE, MAYOR'' S WORKPLACE, AND DO B SHAPE LEGISLATION LIKE NEIGHBORHOOD LAW 196. C SEC SENT INTRODUCTION 2263 BUT REGARD THERE REQUESTS SHORTENING THE EFFECTIVE DATE TO 18 MONTHS RATHER TTHAN 3 YEARS AND THE ONE FLOORING OF LOLL 196 WAS NOT IMPLEMENTING FOR DEFENSE SOONER. THAT TOOK 3 1/2 YEARS AND AS YOU BEAR IN MIND FROM THE COMMISSIONER LARAQUE'' S TESTAMENT EARLIER TODAY, 75 FATALITIES HAVE HAPPENED IN NEW YORK CITY CONSTRUCTION THE PAST 5 1/2 YEARS WHICH IS OVER ONE WORKER EACH MONTH. FAR WAY TOO MANY. ALL FREQUENTLY, NEW YORKERS REVIEW A CONSTRUCTION EMPLOYEE ACQUIRING KILLED. THE BULK OF THE CASUALTIES ON, CUR ON LOW- RISE BUILDINGS LOWER BE THAT 10 STORIES.
OF THE 7 DEATHS, 5 REMAINED IN LOW-RISE STRUCTURES. DOB AND OSHA PUBLICIZED THE NEED TO PROKING IT IT ACT EMPLOYEES. EXECUTING THIS LAW IS ESSENTIAL TO IMPROVING SECURITY THROUGHOUT NORTHBOUND AND DOING SO WILL INDICATE EMPLOYEES AND PEDESTRIANS ARE PROTECTED FROM DAMAGE SOONER. DON'' T WAIT 36 MONTHS. IT WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH TIME FOR PLANNERS and managers TO OBTAIN QUALIFIED, MANY THANKS TO THE ACTIONS BY COUPLE TO SHORTEN THE PROCESS AND THERE IS COMPETENT SITE SAFETY SPECIALISTS AVAILABLE WITHIN THE TIME DURATION TO BEGIN OVERSIGHT. ANY FURTHER DELAYS ARE ESSENTIAL AND THERE THERE IS AN 18 MONTH A PRINTES IS PROGRAM THAT IS AVAILABLE FOR VETERANS AND CIVILIANS. AND THE HOUSING BOARD'' S COMMITTEE FOR THIS REGULATIONS, THE BUILDING COREVISION WILL CERTAINLY MAKE CERTAIN EVEN MORE WORKERS, MOST OF WHOM ARE INDIVIDUALS OF SHADE, WILL HAVE SAFER TASK SITES AND WILL CONSERVE LIVES.
THANKS FOR HOLDING THIS HEARING. WE WELCOME THE CHANCE TO FUNCTION WITH YOU AND WE'' RE AVAILABLE AT YOUR COMFORT TO DISCUSS THIS FURTHER. >> > > THANKS FOR YOUR STATEMENT.> > > GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS KYLE ISHA IRMAEL. I WANT TO– I AM Standing For AIRbnb TODAY. I WANT TO THANKS FOR ALLOWING STATEMENT TO BE SUBMITTED FOR INTRODUCTORY 23 INJURY 9. WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT NEW YORK CITY COULD BE ON THE VERGE OF MAKING CLEAR THE LAW AND SECURING THE RIGHTS AND CAPABILITIES OF RESIDENTS TO EARN ADDITIONAL EARNINGS TO ENABLE THEM TO REMAIN IN THEIR RESIDENCE, AFFORD TAXES, MAKE INFRASTRUCTURE FIXINGS AND SATISFY OTHER FINANCIAL PROBLEMS.
IT WOULD CALL FOR MODIFICATIONS TO ATTAIN THIS. AS CONSTRUCTED, THIS COSTS PUTS UNDO BURDENS ON NEW YORKERS. IT WOULD HAVE A CHILLING EFFECT ON NOW AND RESPONSIBLE RESIDENTS SEEKING WAYS TOAR ADDED MONEY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. AND WE FULLY SUPPORT THE SYSTEM, THE BILL WOULD CALL FOR THAT ORGANIZES HIRE AND DESIGNER ENGINEER OR EXAMINER TO LICENSE THE PREMISES. NOT ONLY EXISTS NO OTHER CITY IN NORTH AMERICA REQUIRING THIS THAT WOULD EXPENSE HOLDS UPWARDS OF $500 AND PLACE NEW YORK CITY CITY AT A NEGATIVE ASPECT, BUT SONGS OUT THE EXPENSIVE BURDEN THAT DOESN'' T APPLY TO THE COUNTLESS DEALS THAT LANDLORDS AND TENANTS INIT INTO IN NEW YORK CITY CITY'' S RENTAL MARKET ON A DAILY BASIS.
THE INTENSION IS TO ENSURE SAFETY, NEW YORK CITY CITY IS PREPARED TO ENSURE SAFETY AND SECURITY CRITERIA, GIVEN THE TEMPORARY LEASING OPERATING SYSTEMS REQUIRED TO RECEIVE. AIRbnb HAS NUMEROUS PLAN IN PLACE. THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE COSTS REQUIRES TEMPORARY LEASING HOSTS WHO ARE RENTERS TO OBTAIN WRITTEN IDEA FROM LANDLORDS. THIS IS ANOTHER PERSON HONOROUS REQUIREMENT AND PLACED ON THE POTENTIAL HOSTS WHO WOULD OFTEN THAN NOT FIND YET DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN ANY ADDITIONAL WRITTEN PERMISSIONS FROM THEIR LANDLORD BEYOND THEIR EXTENSIVE LEASE. RATHER THAN THE POINT OF ENROLLMENT, WE ASSISTANCE GIVING ORGANIZES OR TENANTS WITH A SYSTEM TO ACT TEST THE LEASE DOES NOT PROHIBIT HOME SHARING. THE EXPENSE STANDS FOR AN CHANCE FROM THE LAST MAJOR CITIES IN THE GLOBE TO ESTABLISH A CLEAR REGISTRATION AND REGULATORY STRUCTURE FOR TEMPORARY LEASINGS.
I WILL SEND MY STATEMENT IN WRITING. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. >> > > THANKS FOR YOUR TESTAMENT.> > > EXCELLENT MID-DAY. MY TESTIMONY SAID GREETINGS, BUT BELOW WE ARE LATER. >> > > HOUR WE ARE. >> > > I WILL BE QUICK. MY NAME IS JULIE SAMUELS. THANKS CHAIRMEN CORNEGY AND MEMBERS OF THE REAL ESTATE COMMITTEE FOR ASSISTING US. I REPRESENT TECH NYC, A NONPROFIT COALITION OF EVEN MORE THAN 800 BUSINESS, INVESTORS IN THE CITY. I WANT TO BEGINNING BY SAYING THAT NEW YORK CITY IS GOING TO RECOVER FROM THIS PANDEMIC BECAUSE OUR GOVERNMENT INNOVATION INDUSTRIES, LOCAL BUSINESSES ARE ALL COLLABORATING HAND-IN-HAND AND NOT JUST REVIVE, BUT TO GROW OUR ECONOMY, WHICH IS WHY I AM RIGHT HERE THESE DAYS TO SEND TESTIMONY REGARDING EP32 2309. THE QUESTION IS NO LONGER WHETHER HOME SHARING HAS A DUTY IN NEW YORK CITY. THE QUESTION WE NEED TO ASK NOW IS HOW DO WE EFFECTIVELY MANAGE HOME SHARING TO ASSISTANCE TENANTS AND REVIVING NEW YORK CITY CITY'' S EXCURSION UMP INDUSTRY TO BRING BADLY– TOURISM SECTOR TO BRING BADLY NEEDED EARNINGS FOR NEIGHBORHOODS AND FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THE BOROUGHS? THEY NEED ACCESS TO HOME SHARING AS YOU LEARNT THROUGH KYLE, YOU RECOGNIZE, VIRTUALLY EVERY OTHER MAJOR CITY ON THE PLANET HAS A ROBUST HOME SHARING INDUSTRY IN THOSE CITIES.
AND SO, WE REQUIREMENT TO DISCOVER A WAY TO MAKE THAT HELP BRAND-NEW YORK AS L. SMALL SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS ENJOY INCREDIBLE BENEFITS. AREAS SEE REMARKABLE ADVANTAGES AND VARIOUS OTHER ONCE AGAIN, THE INQUIRY IS NOT WHEN– THE CONCERN IS NOT IF BUT WHEN WE FIND A WAY TO MAKE THIS WORK. WE'' RE WORRIED ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC EXPENSE. WHICH WILL STOP PRESENT HOSTS FROM USING THEIR SPACE LEGALLY, EFFICIENTLY AND EFEFFICIENTLY. THE NEED TO HOST, FOR HEARING AN ENGINEER, ENGINEER OR INSPECTOR IS BURDENSOME AND AS YOU SPOKE WITH KYLE AND AS I DETAIL IN MY WRITTEN TESTIMONY.
THERE ARE MANY ALTERNATIVES TO MAKE CERTAIN SAFETY AND SECURITY IN TEMPORARY RENTALS THAT PUT ON'' T CREATE THIS KIND OF FINANCIAL PROBLEM. I WOULD EXPLAIN THAT REQUIRING RENTERS TO OBTAIN WRITTEN IDEA FROM THEIR LANDLORDS IS PROBLEMATIC. ANY NORTHBOUND NEW YORKER HAVING TO TAKE CARE OF AN ABSENTEE PROPERTY OWNER UNDERSTANDS IT THIS IS THE SITUATION AND THERE ARE METHODS AROUND THIS AS WELL, SIMPLER EVEN MORE EFFECT OF WAYS LIKE PROHIBIT HOME SHARING IN LEASES. IN OTHER WORDS, WE ARE WANTING TO, YOU RECOGNIZE, DRAW OURSELVES OUT OF A GLOBAL PANDEMIC AND OUR CITY AND COMMUNITY ARE STILL HURTING.
WE OUGHT TO BE WORKING TOGETHER TO WELCOME NEW COMPANIES MODELS, TO BE IT SUCCESSFULLY EFFECTIVELY AND NO ONE IS RIGHT HERE STATING THERE MUST BE A BLANK CHECK FOR HOME SHARING. THAT IS NOT THE FACTOR. IF WE COLLABORATE, WE CONTAINER DISCOVER A CONSTRUCTIVE COURSE FORWARD FOR HOME SHARING IN NEW YORK CITY. THANK YOU EXTREMELY MUCH. >> > > THANKS QUITE FOR YOUR TESTIMONY. I HAVE CONCERNS FROM ASSOCIATE, COUNCIL PARTICIPANT CALOS. >> > > THANK YOU TO THE CHAIRPERSON. I AM DOING MY BEST TO KEEP THE INQUIRIES WITHIN THE TIME. FOR AIRbnb, THANKS FOR TESTIFYING. I WANT TO REITERATE IN SIMPLY– WHO BOTH AGREE.
I HEARD IT SPECIFIED PLAINLY, YOU SUSTAIN SIGNING UP FOR HOSTS? >> > > AIRbnb SUPPORTS REGISTERING FOR HOSTS. CORRECT. >> > > AMAZING. THANK YOU. JULIE, GOOD IT SEE YOU. THANKS. I–. >> > > HI, BEN >>. > > I AM– IS THIS? YOU CAN CALL ME WHATEVER YOU NEED. THE ONLY INDIVIDUALS WHO PHONE CALL ME COUNCIL PARTICIPANT ARE PEOPLE CRAZY AT ME, BELIEVE IT OR OTHERWISE. EVERY PERSON ELSE CALLS ME BEN. SO, IN REGARDS TO THE TESTIMONY, YOU ALSO SUPPORT ENROLLMENT OF HOSTS? >> > > WE DO. WE ASSISTANCE COLLABORATING TO DISCOVER A PATH FORWARD HERE.
>> > > AND SO, IT ' S MORE TO YOU, BUT IT'' S KIND OF OPEN QUESTIONS? SO, SOFTWARE DESIGNER HERE ATTEMPTING TO IDENTIFY WHAT IS THE SIMPLEST METHOD TO OFFER WITH THE CONCERN OF EITHER LANDLORDS AND TENANTS AND TO THE EXTENT THAT TENANTS MAY INTEND TO SHARE UNDER THE LAW THEY'' RE ABLE TO BUT THEY CANISTER'' T OFFER THEM THE WHOLE SYSTEM. THE INQUIRY COMES FROM An INFORMATION VIEWPOINT, YOU HAVE WASTE IN, TRASH OUT. REQUIRING INDIVIDUALS TO HAND IN A LEASE, NEW WE END UP HAVING LAWYERS THAT MIGHT PRICE MORE THAN OTHERS TO EVALUATION AND FIND OUT WHAT DOES THE LEASE EXCUSE, THE MAJORITY OF IN NEW YORK CITY HAS A REQUIREMENT THAT LANDLORDS APPROVE A SUBTENANT. IF YOU INTENDED TO SUBLET YOUR UNIT BECAUSE YOU'' RE LEAAVING EARLY, WHATEVER, YOU NEED, I BELIEVE, ALMOST EVERYLOS HAS THAT THEREFORE, THE WRITTEN PERMISSION LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING SIMPLE KNOWLEDGEABLES HAVING AN ADDENDUM. FROM A MODERN TECHNOLOGY FACTOR, FOR EITHER OF YOU, MAINLY FOR TECH NYC, WHAT IS AN CHOICE? >> > > WELL, LISTEN. I ASSUME NORMALLY TALKING, WE WOULD PREFER THAT IT'' S AT THE LEASE LEVELS THAT YOU PUT ON ' T NEED TO GO AND CHASE DOWN THE LANDLORDS. >> > > UH-HUH. > > AND THIS COULD BE A CONCERN OF IMPLEMENTING A. ONCE YOU'' RE IN LEASES, THEY TEND TO BE ONE YEAR. >>>> > > > > UH-HUH. >> > > AND WE ' RE TALKING ABOUT A NEW PIECE OF REGULATION THAT COULD BE MID-LOS, WHICH I PRESUME IS COMPLICATING AND AS A GENERAL STAGE, WE FRET ABOUT EACH ADDITIONAL WORRY ON THE CONTINUANT WHEN LEGAL AND– EFFECTIVE and prohibited TO SHARE. MAKES DETAILS HARDER. AS LONG AS WE CAN PLUSH IT GLOBAL, WE SEEM LIKE WE'' RE IN COMPANY. >> > > BE EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY QUICK. WITH SOMETHING HAVING CHOICE PATHWAYS. YOU CAN OBTAIN A LET FROM THE PROPERTY MANAGER THAT IS EASIER OR YOU SEND Y YOUR LEASE AND IF– WHICHEVER METHOD IS THE MUCH EASIER MEANS FOR THE APPLICANT.
>> > > YEAH, LISTEN. I HAVE TO THINK OF THAT. I GENERALLY AM IN FAVORITE OF OPTION PATHWAYS AND THE MAJORITY OF THE ITEMS OF LEGISLATION, WHEN YOU TAKE CARE OF REGULAR BRAND-NEW YORKERS WHO ARE NOT LANDLORDS, LAWYERS, WHATEVER. >> > > THANKS >>. >> > > THANKS. > > MANY THANKS COUNCIL MEMBER AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR STATEMENT.

THIS HAPPENED TWICE TO ME. IN JANUARY OF THE PRECOVID YEAR, THE COMMISSIONER HELD A HEARING TO GET PUBLIC COMMENT. I INDICATED IN MARCH. I COULD FIND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ON THE CITY WEBSITE. I CALLED OSC AND NEVER RECALLED. 2 OR THREE WEEKS LATER, OSC TURNED UP. I DECLINED TO LET THEM IN. MY PARENTS TAUGHT ME LONG AGO NEVER TO ALLOW ANY LEGISLATION ENFORCEMENT IN WITHOUT A WARRANT. NOTHING GREAT CONTAINER COME OF IT. AND AS THE LEAD POLICE OFFICER LEFT, HE PASSED ON THE SHOULDER AND SAID, WE HAVE OTHER WAYS OF ACQUIRING IN YO HOUSE. I RECEIVED A SENT BY MAIL NOTIFICATION OF DISMISSAL FOR FIFTY PERCENTS OF THE COSTS.
I WRONGLY BELIEVE THAT ALL WERE DISMISSED, AS I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY OTHER INTERACTION. WITHIN DAYS, FOUR VARIOUS OSC WENT TO MY DOOR AND PROVIDED EXTRA VIOLATIIONS WITHOUT SUPPLYING AN OPPORTUNITY TO CURE. OSC APPEALED THE DISMISSAL, REJECTED OFFENSES, RESULTING IN A FINE OF EVEN MORE THAN $10,000. CONTRIBUTE TO THIS, THE $30,000 I LOST FROM DEADBEAT LESSEES. I MET WITH THE OSC COMMISSIONER IN OCTOBER OF 2016. HE ALLOW ME KNOW THAT THE SMALL PRINT ON THE BACK OF THE CITATION HELD ME RESPONSIBLE EVEN IF NO NOTICE GOT HERE. HE ALSO PERMIT ME TO KNOW THAT HIS OFFICE LAGGED AND PUBLICLY SHARING HOW HIS OFFICE OF THE IMPLEMENTING THE LAW. THE COMMISSIONER IS COMMITTED TO THE IDEA THAT TEMPORARY SERVICE IS AT THE CORE OF THE DEMYSELF OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING. I ENTIRELY DIFFER. I AM FORTUNATE TO RESIDE ON A ROAD WHERE RED LINING KEPT MY ANCESTORS AWAY. INCREASINGLY, DESIGNERS ARE PURCHASING SMALL STRUCTURE AND. INSPECTLY DESTROYING STRUCTURE FOR LARGE DELUXE HOUSE. THEY'' RE RENTED ON THE BASIS AND NOT THE NEXT OF RENTERS. CONTROL REPORTED THE CITY IS DRAGGING ITS FEET IN OVER 1,000 UNINHABITED CITY-OWNED WHOLE LOTS AND MANY FOR MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY.
THERE ARE OTHER HOSTS AND PARTICULARLYY HOME OWNING ORGANIZES FEEL THAT WE ARE THE TARGET AND THINK THE RECOMMENDED REGULATION TO BE UNFAIR, SEVERE AND UP COOL. BASICALLY, DRACONIAN. THANK YOU. >> > > THANKS FOR YOUR TESTAMENT. >> > > HELLO. MY NAME IS ALFRED ROACHE. I AM PORTRAYING MYSELF. I COMPLETELY SUPPORT INTRODUCTORY 2309. I HAVE RESIDED IN MY STRUCTURE FOR 27 YEARS. AND I HAVE ACTUALLY NEVER FELT AS HARMFUL AS I DO NOW BY BAD ACTORS WHO ARE RENTING HOUSES IN MY STRUCTURE AND THEY DON'' T LIVE THERE. THEY'' RE RENTING TO GROUPS OF INDIVIDUALS, 6 TO 8 AT ONCE, AND THEY'' RE ALSO DOING RAVES EVENTS. THEY STARTED DOING RAVES CELEBRATIONS AT THE STARTING OF THE PANDEMIC BECAUSE CHILDREN COULDN'' T DO GO TO BARS.
> > GREAT MID-DAY. > > I WILL BE QUICK. > > AIRbnb SUPPORTS REGISTERING FOR HOSTS. > > I AM– IS THIS? > > HELLO.THEY HAVE 30 TO 40 INDIVIDUALS IN APARTMENTS DURING THE NIGHT BEING LOUD AND SMOKING CIGARETTES IN THE STRUCTURE.
WE HAVE A NONSMOKING STRUCTURE. THE PAYMENT IS SMALL. 40 SYSTEMS. OF THE 40 DEVICES, I CAN DETERMINE 6 SYSTEMS THAT ARE USED FOR ILLEGAL AIRbnb, BAD ACTORS ENTERING INTO MY BUILDING, LEAVINGNG GARBAGE AROUND, RATS, HOMELESS PEOPLE CONTAINER GET INVOLVED IN THE BUILDING DUE TO THE FACT THAT ALL KIND OF INDIVIDUALS HAVE ACCESS TO OUR SAFETY AND SECURITY CODE IN THE FRONT NOW. WE HAD A MEDICINE SUPPLIER WHO WAS DOING HIS SERVICE IN OUR STRUCTURE IN THE STAIRWELL FOR A GOOD YEAR UNLESS COVID CAME ABOUT AND HE CONTAINER'' T ENTER INTO THE STRUCTURE ANYMORE. SO, I DON'' T TREATMENT THAT AIRbnb IS LEGAL. I THINK THAT WE DEMAND AS LOTS AUTOMOBILE TO STOP THE CRIMINALS. I DON'' T THINK SUFFICIENT IS STATED CONCERNING THE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE Mistreating AIRbnb AND THE OTHERS TO THE DETRIMENT OF SOMEONE LIKE ME WHO STAYS IN MY STRUCTURE FOR 27 YEARS AND I DO THINGS LEGALLY.
THAT IS ALL I NEED TO SAY,. >> > > MANY THANKS FOR YOUR STATEMENT. > > NICE. I AM JOHN MUD. I HAVE BEEN LIVING WITHIN THE MID-TOWN NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE 1984, AND I HAVE BEEN THE PRESIDENT OF THE MIDTOWN SOUTH COMMUNITY COUPLE FOR AS LONG. I SUPPORT INTRO 2309. MSC RECOGNIZES THE HOUSING LACK AND THE MANIPULATION THEREOF AND HOW IT'' S CONTRIBUTING TO THE PORE HEALTH AND WELLNESS, EDUCATION, COSTS, CONCERN, DISPLACEMENT AND BEING HOMELESS. THOSE CONCERNS THREAT KNOWED WELLNESS OUT THERE IN THE ENTIRE SOCIETY. IT'' S NOT AN OVERESTIMATION TO SAY, THESE ILLEGAL HOTELS ADD TO THAT DANGER. ACCORDING TO AIRbnb DATA FROM THE FINANCIAL PLAN SNOUT, THIS AIRBNBE PHOTO INCREASES THE WORTH IN THE AREA AND PRESSES OUT THE NATIVE LOCALS– BASE ON INFO FROM THE HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW, THE EXISTENCE OF AIRbnb Urges LANDLORDS TO DECREASE LONG-TERM RENTALS S AN ENTER THE VACATION RENTAL MARKETS. I OBTAINED NUMEROUS ISSUES ABOUT CONSISTENT WEB TRAFFIC FROM TEMPORARY RENTALS AND COMPANIONS BEING WAREHOUSED.
WHAT THIS GENTLEMAN PRIOR TO MEED, I HEARD– ME CLAIMED, I LISTENED TO THAT A LOT OF TIMES FROM A GREAT DEAL OF PEOPLE IN THE AREA. I DIRECTLY EXPERIENCED THE CONTENT FLOW OF SUITCASES ROLLING IN AND OUT OF SMALL RENT-CONTROLLED AND STABILIZED WALK-UP IN WHICH I LIVE. IF YOU WERE GETTING IN A RESORT ROOM, I IMPLY THE OWNER OF THE DEVELOPING WHERE I LIVE SET UP A VISITOR CARD TO ALLOW PEOPLE ACCESS TO THE BUILDING AS. AND CURRENTLY, LOTS LANDLORDS IN QUEST OF EVEN MORE PROFITS WILL URGE LESSEES TO MOVE BY HARASSMENT AND DISREGARDING APARTMENTS AND BUILDING UPKEEP REQUIRES. I HAVE BEEN STEPPED IN SEVERAL TIMES IN BETWEEN LANDLORDS AND TENANTS WHO ARE– [INAUDIBLE] IN NEW YORK CITY, THE CONCERN OF BEING HOMELESS AND FORRABLE REAL ESTATE ARE ENTER TWINED. SHELTERS USED AS AN ALL-TIME HIGH. IT'' S UP 33 %OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS.
AND THE SIZE IT STAYS HAS RISEN 20 %. CURRENTLY, ADEQUATE HOUSING SUPPLY WOULD SAVE MOST OF THE 46%EVICTED AND OVERCROWDED AND 41% CAUGHT IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. THAT WERE RESIDING IN SHELTERS AND CONTRIBUTED TO THE 92,000 HOMELESS NEW YORKERS IN 2020. CURRENTLY, WHAT THE WOMAN STATED BEFORRE ME ABOUT THEM NOT BEING THE SOLE PERPETRATORS OF THE ISSUE AND SHE IS RIGHT TO MENTION THAT THE BETWEENERS HAVE A HEAVY HAND IN ALL OF THIS. THEY SQUASH OUT THE STRUCTURES AND DESTROY HOUSING. THIS IS A HOMELESS AND HOUSING SITUATION. I SUGGEST PARIS, BARCELONA, BERLIN, SANTA MONICA HAVE PUT IN POLICIES and guidelines IT'' S CONCERNING THE TENANT THAT IS Utilizing AIRbnb TO MAKE IT THROUGH IS ONE POINT. HAVING ONE CRUCIAL IS ONE POINT. BUT An OCCUPANT MAKING A COMPANY OUT OF LEASING APARTMENTS AND TAKING THEM OFF THE MARKETPLACES THAT IS ANOTHER POINT. WHICH– WE CANISTER SHORT SUPPLY AS IT IS. AND WE GOT TOO LOTS HOMELESS PEOPLE AVAILABLE AND WE DEMAND TO START BRINGING HOUSING INTO THE MARKETPLACE. SOME AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE. REALLY AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT IS ALL I REQUIRED TO SAY,. >> > > THANK YOU A LOT. THANKS ALL. THERE ARRE NO DOUBT FOR THI PANEL. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TESTIMONY.
IT'' S UNBELIEVABLY CRUCIAL TO HEAR EVERY VOICE ON EACH AND EVERY SINGLE SIDE AS WE ADVANCE LEGISLATION. THANK YOU. WE'' RE GOING TO CALL THE NEXT PANEL. WHICH CONSISTS OF MICHAEL McKEE, ESCAB– ESTEBAN [FAINT], SORRY, I CAN'' T SEE AND VIVIAN ARGUELLO. >> > > I BELONG TO THE UNION AND I WISH TO GO THROUGH THIS REAL QUICK TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN CROWN HEIGHTS, IN REGARDS TO SHORT- TERM RENTALS. YOU WILL CERTAINLY SEE THE FIRST ONE BELOW IS ACTUALLY TAKE THEN FRONT OF MY BODEGA AND SAYS NO PLACE TO HOLD YOUR AIRbnb Tricks, TRY THIS KEY NEST. THIS POPPED UP A BIT. SHORTLY AFTER THE 2017 PASSAGE OF THE BEDFORD UNION ARMORY REZONING, CAUSING SIGNIFICANT MODIFICATION IN THE DEMOGRAPHIC OF MY BLOCK. IF YOU MOST LIKELY TO THE NEXT WEB PAGE, YOU WILL CERTAINLY SEE THIS CRUCIAL NEST, WHICH I TOOK PLACE TO SEEK OUT, AND IT'' S A PHOTOS OF BASICALLY CENTRAL BROOKLYN AND THE PLACES WHERE THESE SECRET NEST LOCATIONS ARE IS LIKE A SPECTACULAR EXAMPLE OF WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE AREA IF YOU UNDERSTAND IT.
IT'' S BASICALLY EMPTIED OUT OF BLACK-AND-BROWN RESIDENTS. THE SECRET THING BELOW IS THOSE POINTS ARE OCCURRING, THE PROHIBITED SHORT-TERM LEASINGS ARE TAKING PLACE. WE NEED TO KNOW IN WHICH THEY HAPPENING, IN WHICH THEY HAVE THE INFORMATION AND WHERE TO HAVE THIS ENROLLMENT TO COMBAT THAT. AND WE NEED TO ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING. I HAVE PEOPLE CALLING ME ALL OF THE MOMENT ON MY BLOCK. PEOPLE THAT WE ORGANIZED SOCCERS FOR.– SOCCERS FOR. THE SOUND LEVELS ARE INCREASING. INDIVIDUALS WITH SUITCASES IN THE BUILDINGS. ALL OF THE THINGS YOU HEAR, EVERY ONE OF THE HORROR STORIES. WAS STRUCK BY ONE POINT THE BODYING PROPRIETOR TOLD ME. IT WAS NOT– BODEGA OWNER INFORMED ME. IT WAS ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS, MAIDS AND SERVICE WORKERS TURNING OVER CLEANING UP ROOMS. WE HAVE HOTELS RUNNING OUT OF THIS COMPONENT OF CROWN LEVELS. YOU TIN SEE THERE, FUNCTIONING THEIR MEANS DOWN INTO FLATBUSH NOW AND WE'' LL KEEP DOING SEE UP UNTIL WE THROW DOWN THE GAUNTLET. >> > > SO >>. > > MANY THANKS FOR YOUR TESTIMONY
>>. > > HI, MY NAME IS SUSIE. I AM A MEMBER OF ILLEGAL HOTELS CAMPAIGN FOR WESTSIDE COMMUNITY ALLIANCE. WE HIGHLY ASSISTANCE INTRODUCTORY 2309. IN 2004, AFTER MY APARTMENT WAS TURNED RIGHT INTO A BUSINESS USE HOSTILE– HOSTEL BY ADMINISTRATION, I ACCOMPANIED OTHERS TO FIGHT RESIDENTIAL– 7 YEARS AGO, THERE WAS NO CODE FOR AN ILLEGAL HOTEL AND THE DIVISION OF BUILDINGS WAS NOT EQUIPPED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. IN 2010, THEY WERE CHARGED WITH CRACKING DOWN ON ILLEGAL HOTELS. TO THIS CONFIRMED EFFECTIVE AGAINST LANDLORDS IN ORDER TO WRITE VIOLATIONS AND THE VIOLATIONS MUST GO THROUGH ECB BEFORE CHARGES CAN BE ENFORCED. ON THE OTHER HAND, IF A TEMPORARY SERVICE OPERATION IS LEGITIMATE, IT NEEDS TO BE RECOGNIZED AS UP AND WILL CERTAINLY RUN WITHOUT INTERBY ESTABLISH– INTERFERENCE BY ESTABLISHING PAERALTERS, INTRODUCTION 2309'' S REGISTRATION SYSTEM WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASE THE HUNCHES WORK. THANKS. >> >'> I ' M SORRY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY.> > > EXCELLENT MID-DAY, I AM MICHAEL McKEE FROM THE RENTERS POLITICAL ACTIVITY BOARDS AND A MEMBER OF THE COALITION AGAINST ILLEGAL HOTELS.
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS BILL FOR 2 YEAR. WE'' RE CONVINCED THAT An ENROLLMENT SYSTEM IIS IMPORTANT TO PUNISH ILLEGAL RESORT TASK. WE DON'' T BELIEVE THAT IN SPITE OF THEIR BEST EFFORTS, THE DEVICES THE CITY CURRENTLY HAS ARE AMPLE TO PURSUE BAD ACTORS, AND WE THINK THE REGISTRATION SYSTEM IS THE MEANS TO GO. I WANT TO MENTION FOR THE RECORD THAT WE HAVE MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO OBTAIN INPUT FROM BOTH THE OFFICE OF SPECIAL ENFORCEMENT AND THE MAYOR'' S WORKPLACE, AND WE HAVE BEEN STONE WALLED. WE TEMPT– STONEWALLED. WE TEE. ED TO OBTAIN INPUT PRIOR TO THE EXPENSE WAS INTRODUCED ON MAY 12th, AND WE ATTEMPTED TO GET INPUT FROM THEN SINCE AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN WILLING TO ENGAGE. WE HAVE BEEN DETERMINED TO GET THE COSTS DONE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR WHEN THERE IS A HUGE TURNOVER AT BOTH ENDS OF CITTY Y HALL.
WE WOULD HAVE TO BEGINNING THROUGHOUT WITH A CURRENTLY MAYOR AND CURRENTLY COMMON COUNCIL. ONCE AND FOR ALL, there IS SIMPLY NO TIME TO WASTE TO HAVE THE DEVICES THAT ARE GOING TO BE REQUIRED ON TO ELIMINATE UNLAWFUL HOTEL ACTIVITY. I INTEND TO BE CLEAR THAT OUR INTENT RIGHT HERE IS TO GO AFTER BAD ACTORS, LANDLORDS WHO CONVERT RESIDENTIAL APARTMENTS TO SHORT- TERM RENTALS. WE'' RE NOT INTENDING TO PURSUE MAMA AND POP HOME OWNERS FROM BROOKLYN, THAT INTEND TO RENT OUT A SPACE OR RENT THEIR HOMES. THAT IS COMPLETELY LEGAL. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE GOING TO BE ADJUSTMENTS NEEDED FOR THE BILL, AND WE'' RE READY TO TAKE PART IN THOSE DISCUSSIONS.
I WISH TO PROVIDE An UNIQUE MANY THANKS TO COUNCIL PARTICIPANT CALOS AND THE AUDIO SPEAKER'' S WORKPLACE WITH THE ASSIST WITH THE BILL. >> > > THANKS I ASSUME I HAVE CONCERNS FROM BEN KALLOS. >> > > ANDY JUST NEEDED TO SAY, THAT FOR CROWN HEIGHTS, ESTEBA IN, YOUR TESTIMONY IMPACT MEAWAY. THEY CALL A AIRbnb Community. THE EMAIL OR MESSAGE TO THE PERSON WHO IS GOING TO BE LEASING THE AREA, AND THEY NEVER MEET, THEY NEVER INTERACT. YES, I DON'' T KNOW EXACTLY HOW THAT FITS INTO THE PRESENT LEGAL STRUCTURE, I WEAR'' T THINK IT DOES. AND AGAIN, WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS THAT THERE ' S A GREAT DEALS OF MAIDS, SOLUTION WORKERS HE CLAIMED, IF YOU CONSIDER THE INTERNET SITE FOR THIS LISTING, I ASSUME WHAT THEY TELEPHONE CALL THEM IS SERVICED HOUSES, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY LIKE– IT IS ALMOST LIKE An ADMINISTRATION COMPANY OUT OF THESE PLACES AND THEY BOIL DOWN EVERY TWO BLOCKS CURRENTLY, SO THEY LAUNCHED IN THE NORTH EASTERN PARKWAY AND AFTERWARDS UNION STREET. NOW THEY'' RE DOWN ON CAROL BUT WORKING THEIR MEANS DOWN. THERE'' S 7 TRICK EACH and nests, IS IT ONE THEY'' RE OFFERING OR IS IT 10? WE DON'' T EVEN KNOW.
HE DIDN'' T EVEN KNOW BECAUSE THEY PROBLEM CODE. THEY DON ' T'REALLY KNOW WHAT ' S GOING ON. THEY GET PAID AND IT ' S NOT AIRBNB THEMSELVES THAT ' S DOING THIS. THEY ARE A COMPANION SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER. I DIDN ' T KNOW THEY EXISTED UP UNTIL I SAW THIS INDICATOR IN JUST A PAIR DAYS AGO BROUGHT UP THIS– IF YOU LOOK UNDER MANHATTAN THEY'' RE EVERYWHERE.
THEY'' RE OPERATING PRESENT MOMENT. > >> MANY THANKS. >> > > THERE DISAPPEAR CONCERNS FOR THIS PANEL. WE ARE GOING TO CALL THE NEXT PANEL. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TESTAMENT.

THERE WE GO. TIM? ONCE MORE, I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE, PRIOR TO YOU START YOUR STATEMENT, TO SPEAK NOISALLY AND CLEARLY, YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD >>. WHEN YOU ' RE READY, you CAN BEGIN. > > THANK FOR THIS POSSIBILITY TO SPEAK. MY NAME IS AMY THRASHER. I LIVE IN QUEENS. I HAVE BEEN AN AIRBNB HOST CONSIDERING THAT 2016. AFTER MY INITIAL ASSESSMENTS, AFTER THE FIRST QUARTER, I WAS GIVEN THE CONDITIONS OF SUPER HOST, WHICH I HAVE ACTUALLY KEPT EVERY QUARTER SINCE.
I MOVED TO NEW YORK CITY FROM SCRANTON, PENNSYLVANIA, IN 1980. THE BIGGEST TROUBLE I CAME ACROSS BACK THEN WAS ABSENCE OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN 1980. IN 1984 I WAS PRICED OUT OF MANHATTAN AND I RELOCATED TO QUEENS. IN 1998 I PURCHASED A SMALL HOME IN QUEENSNS. NOW I TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION MYSELF THE LUCKIEST LADY IN THE GLOBE DUE TO THE FACT THAT I HAVE A CHILD WHO IS A TRIP ASSISTANT, SO WE ARE ABLE TO FLY AROUND THE WORLD FREE OF CHARGE. WE CANISTER NOT AFFORD TO REMAIN IN RESORTS. SO WE STAYED IN AIRBNB. WHICH WAS HOW I WAS FIRST INTRODUCED TO AIRBNB AS A VISITOR. MY RESIDENCE IS A MOTHER/DAUGHTER, AND WHEN I PURCHASED IT MY DAUGHTER LIVED DOWNSTAIRS FOR SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE SHE GOT MARRIED AND VACATED. AFTER THAT MY BOY'' S DAD, TO WHOM I WAS ESTRANGED, HE RELOCATED THERE AND LIVED THERE FOR OVER A YEARS UP UNTIL HE DIED. THERE WAS NO OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS PARTICIPANT TO MOVE IN. I DIDN'' T KNOW WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO, BECAUSE DURING THAT TIME I WAS CHECKING OUT RETIRED LIFE AND DISCOVERED THAT I DID NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT MONEY FROM SOCIAL PROTECTION AND PENSION PLAN TO PAY MY HOME LOAN.
SO I DECIDED TO DEAL WITH UP THE APARTMENT AND RENT IT OUT ON AIRBNB. SOME AIRBNBERS STATE THAT THIS IS A SUPPLEMENT TO THEIR EARNINGS. IT IS NOT A SUPPLEMENT TO MY EARNINGS. IT IS MY INCOME. WITHOUT MY AIRBNB UNIT, I WOULD SHED MY HOME, AND I HAVE NO PLACE TO GO. MY CHILD LIVES UPSTATE IN A SMALL 2 ROOM RESIDENCE WITH An OTHER HALF, A TEENAGER, AND FIVE CANINES IN THE SNOW BELT. ON A CITY GIRL. I CAN'' T GO THERE. MY OTHER KID LIVES IN PENNSYLVANIA, IN WHICH I PUT ON'' T INTEND TO GO BACK, IN A COTTAGE WITH 19 PET CATS, SO YOU CANISTER IMAGINE HOW THAT SCENTS. I PUT ON'' T WANT TO GO THERE. MY OTHER KID SHARES A HOUSE WITH ANOTHER PERSON INDIVIDUAL. I CAN'' T GO THERE. I OFFER A SERVICE TO INDIVIDUALS THAT CAN NOT AFFORD TO REMAIN IN RESORTS. I WEAR'' T KNOW WHY THIS ARBITRARY EXPENSE STATES 2 PEOPLE. I MOSTLY LEASE TO FAMILIES. FAMILY MEMBERS TIN'' T RELAX IN A HOTEL SPACE WHERE THERE ' S TWO BEDS AND ONE CHAIR. I GIVE THEM WITH A GREAT ROOM TO RELAX, A FULL KITCHEN AREA, A YARD, AND THESE PEOPLE CONTRIBUTE TOTO THE ECONOMIC CLIMATE.
THEY GO TO THE SUPERMARKET. THEY MOST LIKELY TO THE RESTAURANTS. THEY USE THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM TO HEAD TO MANHATTAN. THEY ADD TO THE ECONOMIC CLIMATE OF NEW YORK CITY. THE CITY OUGHT TO BE TRYING TO ELEVATE United States UP RATHER THAN TEARING United States DOWN. THIS COSTS, I LOCATE THIS COSTS TO BE EXTREMELY APPROXIMATE, AND REALLY UNCERTAIN. WHY 2 PEOPLE? I PUT ON'' T UNDERSTAND. THE HOTELS, I UNDERSTAND THEY ' RE HAVING A PROBLEM, BUT THEIR TROUBLE IS THAT THEY ' RE LOSING BUSINESS TRAVELERS, NOT FAMILIES THAT I LEASE TO. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS COSTS IS TO REMOVE AIRBNB ENTIRELY. IT'' S ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE BIG GUY VERSUS THE LITTLE GUY, AND IT'' S THE MOST AWFUL PART OF CAPITALISM. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO DIRECT YOUR GAZE UP THERE, WHERE IT SAYS OUR COMMERCIAL PLAN SHOULD HOLD AN EQUAL AND NEUTRAL HAND. THANK YOU. >> > > THANK YOU FOR YOUR STATEMENT.> > > PRESS THE SWITCH. >> > > GREAT AFTERNOON, MY NAME IS VICTORIA MacLEOD.
AND I HAVE LIVED IN EAST FLATBUSH NEIGHBORHOOD. THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY AT THIS HEARING AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THIS WILL BE HANDY TO THE COMMUNITY OR THE ECONOMIC SITUATION. I FIND THAT INDIVIDUALS I LEASE TO, INDIVIDUAL HIGH– HAVE BEEN RUNNING AN AIRBNB FOR TWO YEARS. I BEGAN 2 YEARS BACK, AS I STATED, AFTER I RETIRED, AS A BACHELOR. I ADDITIONALLY WAS A SINGLE MOTHER WHOSE CHILDREN HAVE ACTUALLY GROWN UP AND GET ON THEIR OWN.
MY CHILD LIVES UPSTATE. AND THIS WAS AN CHANCE FOR ME TO BE INDEPENDENT AND TO SHOT NOT TO SEEK ASSISTANCE FROM THE STATE OR THE CITY. HOSTING AIRBNB B ADDITIONALLY ASSIST ME T STAY, AS I STATED, ACTIVE and independent. I HELP PEOPLE THAT WISH TO VISIT NEW YORK CITY BUT CANISTER NOT AFFORD THE RESORTS. IT SUPPLEMENTS MY RETIREMENT INCOME. IT INCREASES THE ECONOMIC SITUATION IN MY AREA, ESPECIALLY THE DINING ESTABLISHMENT INDUSTRY, AND THE COMPLETELY DRY ITEM INDUSTRY TOO. THEY ALSO OBTAIN TO SEE MY AREA IN THE LIGHT, NOT THAT WHICH THEY SEE IN THE MEDIA. THEY SEE THE ACTUAL AREA. I THINK THAT THIS COSTS WILL HARM THE COMMUNITY AND WILL CERTAINLY LIKEWISE HARM BRAND-NEW YORK CITY'' S ECONOMIC CLIMATE IF IT IS PAST AS IT IS. I'' M ASKING YOU TO CONSIDER WHETHER OR NOT SOME OF THE PENALTIES THAT WILL CERTAINLY BE LEVIED AGAINST AIRBNB MEMBERS WOULD BE REASONABLE ENOUGH, BASED ON THE EARNINGS WE ARE MAKING. THANKS FOR LISTENING TO MY TESTIMONY. >> > > ONCE MORE, THANK YOU A LOT FOR YOUR TESTAMENT. >> > > THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN. MY NAME IS TOM KALER. I'' M A PARTICIPANT OF THE WESTSIDE AREA PARTNERSHIP, THE PROHIBITED RESORT COMMITTEE. WE'' VE BEEN A BOARD BECAUSE 2004. KITCHEN AREA WAS BASICALLY THE GROUND NO FOR ILLEGAL HOTELS IN NEW YORK CITY CITY, BECAUSE OF TIMES SQUARE AND THE MOVIE THEATER AREA, OBVIOUSLY. ONE POINT I DESIRED TO DO THIS MORNING WAS READ INTO THE RECORD TO THE COMMITTEE RIGHT HERE, AIRBNB'' S ACTUAL DECLARATION IN THEIR IPO FILE SENT TO THE FCC ON NOVEMBER 16th, 2020, PAGE 45, IN WHICH THEY CLEARLY STATE TO THEIR INVESTORS, AS WELL AS INTO THE MUNICIPALITIES IN WHICH THEY FUNCTION, WE CANISTER NOT ASSURANCE THE SAFETY OF OUR HOSTS, GUESTS, AND THIRD PARTIES.
THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSTS, VISITORS, AND THIRD PARTIES HAVE RESULTED AND CAN FURTHER CAUSED CASUALTIES, INJURIES, VARIOUS OTHER BODILY HARM, SCAMS, INTRUSION OF PERSONAL PRIVACY, BUILDING DAMAGES. WE DO NOT VERIFY THE IDENTITY OF EVERY ONE OF OUR HOSTS AND GUESTS. CURRENTLY THIS IS WHAT AIRBNB IS TELLING THEIR INVESTORS. THIS IS WHAT THEY'' RE EXPRESSION TO INDIVIDUAL THAT THEY WISH TO PUT MONEY INTO THEIR ORGANIZATION. THE CONCERN FOR NEW YORK CITY IS WHAT OTHER SERVICE EXISTS IN THIS TOWN THAT STATES, WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THE PEOPLE THAT PARTICIPATE IN THAT COMPANY. FRANKLY, SIR, THERE'' S NONE THAT I KNOW. TO MY AIRBNB ORGANIZES, TO BOTH OF YOU, I SIMPLY INTENDED TO MENTION THAT THIS EXPENSE DOESN'' T IN FACT ADJUSTMENT ANY EXISTING LAW IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK CITY CITY.
IT JUST REQUIRES THAT HOSTS AND AIRBNB FOLLOW THE EXISTING REGULATIONS. THANKS. >> > > THANKS ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR TESTIMONY. THERE ARE NO DOUBT FOR THIS PANEL, SO WE ARE GOING TO CALL THE NEXT PANEL. THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR PERSEVERANCE. JUNE BROXTON. DANIEL R BEANIE. AND SONDRA MINGO. >> > > I ASK THAT BEFORE YOU SUBMIT YOUR TESTAMENT OR PRIOR TO YOU OFFER YOUR STATEMENT THAT YOU TALK YOUR NAME NOISALLY INTO THE MICROPHONE, TO MAKE SURE THAT IT CAN BE READ INTO THE RECORD. YOU CAN BEGIN WHENEVER YOU'' RE READY. >> > > GREAT MID-DAY, EVERYONE. MY NAME IS JUNE BROXTON. I STAY IN MANHATTAN AND I'' M A REALTY AGENT AND A PROPERTY MANAGER.
I OFFER AS A COACH FOR RITES OF FLOW PROGRAM IN HARLEM AND WESTCHESTER. I PARTICIPATE IN CHURCH AND SING INQUIRES IN MANHATTAN AND LONG ISLAND, AND I TAKE PLEASURE IN EXPANDING HERBS AND VEGGIES IN MY BACKYARD GARDEN. TODAY I AM HERE AS A PROPERTY OWNER. I REALLY HOPE– I HOSTED An AREA FOR 4 YEARS BUT QUIT AS A RESULT OF THE PANDEMIC, AND MY PURPOSE ARE TO DRAW BACK IN 2022. BUT I STARTED ORGANIZING FOR A FEW FACTORS. ONE BEING TO AID OTHERS THAT CONTAINER NOT AFFORD $400-$500 PER EVENING HOTELS. THAT'' S ME. 2, I LIVE ALONE AND WISH TEMPORARY COMPANIONSHIP AND NOT LONG-TERM. 3, I WAS FED UP WITH BEING A FULL-TIMIME PROPERTY OWNER WHILE FIGHTING AILMENTS, AND WHILE VACATIONING. BECAUSE YOU CAN CONTROL IT ON AIRBNB. YOU CAN NOT HAVE INDIVIDUALS THERE WHILE YOU ARE AWAY. YOU TIN NOT HAVE INDIVIDUALS THERE WHILE YOU ARE SICK, BUT IF YOU HAVE An IRREVERSIBLE OCCUPANT, SOMETIMES THAT'' S A PROBLEM. THEY DON'' T UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'' RE SICK. AND 4, I WAS TIRED OF BEING ABIDED WITH EACH OTHER WITH THOSE LANDLORDS THAT HAVE BIG STRUCTURES, AND I JUST HAVE TWO UNITS, WHICH I RESIDED IN MY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.
SO IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR SHORT- TERM RENTALS, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO OR HAVE DONE. IT HAS ACTUALLY SUPPLIED ME THE POSSIBILITY TO LEARN ABOUT PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES AND CULTURES, AND PROVIDE ME IDEAS OF PLACES TO GO TO FOR GETAWAY. THE EXTRA CASH HELPED ME TO PAY FOR MY EXTENSIVE MEDICAL BILLS, WHICH MY MEDICAL INSURANCE DID NOT COVER FOR MY SPECIFIC TREATMENTS. MY GUESTS, THEY USED TO GENERATE A LOT MONEY TO THE BURROWS. THEY KNEW ABOUT RESTAURANTS AND FOUND OUT ABOUT PLACES AND TAUGHT ME ABOUT THEM.
BUDGET-FRIENDLY REAL ESTATE, LET'' S DISCUSS AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THE PROPERTY– AS A PROPERTY REPRESENTATIVE I ALSO SAW 6- FIGURE INCOME INDIVIDUALS BUYING OR LEASING APARTMENTS FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO WOULD MAKE $80,000 OR $70,000, SO THAT IS WHAT BOOSTING OUR RATES UPTOWN, I CAN INFORM YOU THAT FOR SURE. I DEAL WITH ALL MY LESSEES AND VISITOR THE SAME, WHETHER LONG OR SHORT-TERM, SO WHY DOESN'' T OSC DO THAT? WHY DOESN ' T OSC DO THAT? WHY EXISTS An ISSUE FOR INDIVIDUALS REMAIN IN ONE WEEK VERSUS THOSE REMAIN IN ONE YEAR? IF THIS APARTMENT OR CONDO IS NOT SAFE FOR SOMEBODY FOR ONE WEEK THEN IT CONTAINER'' T BE SECURE FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR, SO WHY ARE WE THINKING OF THAT? AND WHERE IS THE ASSISTANCE WHEN WE HAVE NO TENANTS? I HAD NO OCCUPANT FOR 18 MONTHS.
NO ONE EXISTED, BUT I WAS FOLLOWING THE COULDN and guidelines'' T DO AIRBNB AND ALMOST LOST MY HOME. I'' M ATTEMPTING TOTO SAY TO YOU TODAY, I OPPOSE THIS COSTS, THIS REGULATION, SINCE I DID NOT PURCHASE MY HOME TO HAVE MY CITIZEN GOVERNMENT TELL ME THAT I TIN OR CAN NOT HOUSING IT. THE OSC ACTUALLY TOLD ME ONE DAY WHEN I CALLED, I COULD NOT RENT SHORT-TERM TO MY OWN MEMBER OF THE FAMILY CHECKING OUT, AND I FIND IT HORRIBLY ABSURD, UNFAIR, AND CONTROLLING. >> > > THANKS FOR YOUR TESTAMENT. >> > > THANKS, COUNCILMEMBERS. I'' M DANIEL R BEANIE AND MY FAMILY OF 6 HAS SURVIVED THE VERY SAME BLOCK IN BROOKLYN FOR FIVE GENERATIONS. PLEASE LET THAT SINK IN. 5 GENERATIONS ON THE EXACT SAME BLOCK. AND WITH YOUR ASSISTANCE I WISH ANOTHER PERSON FIVE GENERATIONS. I'' VE ALSO HAD THE BENEFIT OF CONFERENCE MOST OF YOU IN MY ABILITY OF VOLUNTEERING, BRINGING WELLNESS AND HOPE THROUGH THE ARTS IN NEW YORK CITY SCHOOLS. ACTUALLY, THE LAST TIME I WAS IN THIS SPACE, TREE PANDEMIC, I WAS INVITED, PART OF THAT NONPROFIT, AS THEY WERE GRANTED TO THE COUNCIL, AND HONOR. MY FAMILY MEMBERS ADDITIONALLY VOLUNTEERS FOR– FROM MY LITTLEST CHILDREN TO MY BIGGEST– FOR OUR REGIONAL CHURCH, AIDING THOSE IN REQUIREMENT.
WE HAVE BEEN HOSTING MY UPSTAIRS APARTMENT FOR 6 YEARS CURRENTLY. MY AIRBNB STORY, I HOPE, IS ONE THAT WILL INFLUENCE YOU ON HOW AIRBNB OR HOSTING SHORT-TERM RENTAALS AND MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR WONDERFUL MATTERS IN NEW YORK CITY CITY. THE WAY I LIKE TO BEGIN, HOSTING BEGINS WITH TODAY. AS WE SPEAK, WE HAVE A FORMER BROOKLYN COUPLE ALONG WITH THEIR TWO YOUNG CHILDREN REMAINING WITHTH US FREE OF COST. WHY FREE, YOU MIGHT ASK? THEY LEFT BROOKLYN TWO YEARS AGO, SURRENDERED LUCRATIVE JOBS IN THE CLINICAL FIELD TO HEAD TO LEBANON AND COLLABORATE WITH SYRIAN EVACUEES. THEY OFFERED IT ALL UP TO GO SERVE AND THEY'' RE RIGHT HERE ON BREAKS, TO GET A BREAK, BECAUSE IT'' S EXTREMELY HARD AND UNSAFE WHAT THEY'' RE DOING. THEY ' VE BEEN WITH United States FOR THE LAST FIVE WEEKS AND THEY WILL BE WITH US FOR TWO MORE WEEKS PRIOR TO THEY RETURN HOME, TO THEIR NEW HOME. THAT IS WHY WE HOST ON AIRBNB.
I PUT ON'' T CARE THAT AIRbnb IS LEGAL. WE DON'' T BELIEVE THAT DESPITE THEIR BEST EFFORTS, THE TOOLS THE CITY NOW HAS ARE APPROPRIATE TO GO AFTER BAD CASTS, AND WE THINK THE REGISTRATION SYSTEM IS THE METHOD TO GO. THEY OBTAIN PAID AND IT ' S NOT AIRBNB THEMSELVES THAT ' S DOING THIS. FAMILY MEMBERS TIN'' T RELAX IN A HOTEL SPACE WHERE THERE ' S 2 BEDS AND ONE CHAIR. THE HOTELS, I UNDERSTAND THEY ' RE HAVING A PROBLEM, BUT THEIR ISSUE IS THAT THEY ' RE LOSING SERVICE TRAVELERS, NOT FAMILIES THAT I RENT OUT TO.FROM THE REALLY STARTING WE OPENED UP OUR HOME TO PAL, BUDDIES OF BUDDIES, AND CHURCH GOOD FRIENDS, GENERALLY FROM DEVELOPING NATIONS, THAT COULD NOT AFFORD TO EVEVER STAY IN NEW YO BUT NEEDED TO BE RIGHT HERE. WE HAVE DONE THIS HUNDREDS OF TIMES.
IN BETWEEN THOSE UNIQUE VISITORS, AND IT IS AN HONOR TO BE COMPONENT OF THEIR STORIES, WE HOST AN AIRBNB SO WE CANISTER PAY OUR MORTGAGE, AND I'' VE BEEN OUT OF WORK FOR 2 YEARS, SO WE CONTAINER ACTUALLY STAY AND LIVE, AND NOT LEAVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE HAVE THE INMOST ORIGINS YOU CAN IMAGINE. I HAVE A REAL CONCERN THAT MORE GUIDELINE AND LEGISLATION WILL JUST SERVE TO DAMAGE United States. IT'' S A REAL BURDEN AND IT'' S VAGUE, WHICH LEADS TO ABUSE, AND IT ' S RESTRICTIVE. EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE WERE WENT TO BY THE MAYORS OFFICE OF UNIQUE ENFORCEMENT WHEN, AND IT WAS A SCARY and traumatic EXPERIENCE. WHILE THEY WERE NICE, IT WAS STILL SCARY. BEING RIGHTEOUS CITIZENS WHO RETURN TO OUR AREA, YOU MAY FIND IT UNSUBSTANTIATED, BUT THEY LITERALLY WENT THROUGHOUT MY WHOLE BUILDING, TOOK PHOTOS OF EVERY ROOM.
BEING A MINORITY HOME, WE WERE PRETTY SHAKEN UP BY IT. ACTUALLY, MY WIFE STAYED ENTIRELY OFF THE BEATEN TRACK. SHE COULDN'' T– SHE JUST COULDN ' T EVEN BE THERE. THE HISTORY BOOKS ARE BRIMMING WITH COUNCILMEMBERS WITH QUIT AND FRISKING, TURNED DOWN BY THE COUNCIL AND EVERYTHING. THIS IS NO VARIOUS. I ASK YOU TO CONSIDER THAT. SORRY FOR GOING OVER MY TIME. THANK YOU. >> > > THANKS FOR YOUR STATEMENT. IF YOU'WEAR ' T MIND ME ASKING, WHAT AREA IN BROOKLYN DO YOU LIVE >>? > > COBBLE HILLSIDE. >> > > THANKS, SIR. >> > > HELLO? GREAT AFTERNOON, COUNCILMEMBERS AND LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. MY NAME IS SANDRA MINGO. IMAI COMMUNITY PARTNER WITH THE 75th PRECINCNCT IN EAST NEW YOR WHERE I HOST. I HOST GOTTEN HEALTH CARE WORKERS FOR SOME OF THE NEIGHBORING HEALTH CENTERS. I ALSO FUNCTION IN A MAJOR HEALTH CENTER SYSTEM IN THE CITY. I STARTED HOSTING WITH AIRBNB BECAUSE OF MY EXPERIENCE WITH A TERRIBLE TENANT THAT WAS POSITIONED IN MY HOME BY THE CITY, AND AN EXPERIENCE THAT I DO NOT DESIRE TO REPEAT. THE DEVASTATION SHE DID TO MY HOME WAS INCREDIBLE. AND I NEED TO SAY, IT WAS MY HOUSE THAT I SIMPLY BOUGHT.
THE WHOLE AREA WAS RECENTLY RENOVATED, AND WHEN SHE WAS DONE IT APPEARED LIKE SHE HAD BEEN THERE HALF A CENTURY AND SEVERAL OF THE WALL SURFACES WERE MISSING OUT ON. AIRBNB ASSISTED ME TO PAY BACK INDIVIDUALS THAT I NEEDED TO BORROW MONEY FROM TO GET MY DEVICE BACK INTO HABITABLE CONDITION, AND MANY OF ALL, PAY MY HOME LOAN, AND KEEP MY HOUSE. CONSIDERING THAT I STARTED AIRBNB IN 2017, I MET A GREAT DEAL OF EXTREMELY NICE PEOPLE FROM 13 VARIOUS COUNTRIES. SOME HAVE TOLD ME, IF I DIDN'' T HAVE SUCH AN AFFORDABLE DEVICE, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CHECK OUT AMERICA. THEY UTILIZED MUCH OF THE SHOP IN OUR LOCATION AND STRAIGHT ADDED TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
THIS REGULATION INTIMIDATES TO PUT ME BACK IN THE SETTING IN WHICH I REQUIRED TO CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE TO KEEP MY HOME. MY HOME HAS ACTUALLY BEEN CHECKED BY THE DOD, THE HPD LOTS OF, MANY TIMES. I REVIEW 50 TIMES THEY'' VE BEEN TO MY HOME, RELEVANT IN WHICH THE HPV ACTUALLY NICKNAMED MY LITTLE GIRL 92. THAT'' S OUR RESIDENCE NUMBER. AND THEY WOULD SEE HER IN THE STREET AND PHONE CALL OUT TO HER, HI 92, WHAT'' S HAPPENING. THAT ' S HOW OFTEN THEY HAVE BEEN TO OUR RESIDENCE. THE COURTS HAVE ACTUALLY DEEMED MY UNITS, FOR THAT MATTER MY ENTIRE HOME, TO BE LEGAL AND SAFE.
WHAT WOULD BE THE POINT OF REGISTERING MY HOME FOR FURTHER EXAMINATION FROM AN AGENCY WHOSE POLICIES and guidelines ARE A MOVING TARGET? I AM A LAW-ABIDING CITIZEN AND BELIEVE THOSE WHO MISBEHAVE STARS OUGHT TO BE PENALIZED. THEY ALSO O DEMAND TO KN CLEARLY WHAT THE LEGISLATION IS AND WHAT THE REASONABLE PENALTIES ARE. I UNDERSTAND AIRBNB IS WORKING TO HELP TO CORRECT AND I WISH THEY'' RE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO DEAL WITH THE SITUATION PRIOR TO THIS BILL IS PASSED. >> > > MANY THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR STATEMENT. I ' M GOING TO RELOCATE TO THE NEXT PANEL. THERE IS NO INQUIRY FOR THIS PANEL. I DO INTEND TO THANK YOU, AS HOME OWNERS IN A CITY THAT PROGRESSIVELY EXPANDING UNAFFORDABLE, WE UNDERSTAND RIGHT HERE AT THE COUNCIL WHAT YOU'' RE DEALING WITH. SO THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TESTAMENT. IT IS A PLEASURE TO PUT A FACE TO THE NUMEROUS TALES THAT WE HEAR IN OUR OFFICE AND RIGHT HERE AT THE COUNCIL.
THANKS. WE'' RE GOING TO RELOCATE TO THE NEXT PANEL, BEGINNING WITH CHRISTOPHER LeBRON. TEMERITY RIVERA. AND KAREN BECK. >> > > MY COLLEAGUE BEN CALIPHS WILL CONDUCT THE HEARING FOR JUST A FEW MINUTES FOR ME WHILE I EXCUSE MYSELF. >> > > PLEASE IDENTIFY YOUR NAME AND COMPANY FOR THE RECORD. YOU MAY BEGIN WHENEVER YOU WANT. PLEASE TURN ON YOUR MICROPHONE. >> > > EXCELLENT MID-DAY, MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. MY NAME IS TAMARA RIVERA, COUNCIL REPRPRESENTATIVE FOR TH NEW YORK CITY CITY DISTRICT COUNCIL OF CARPENTERS. THANK YOU FOR ENABLING ME THE CHANCE TO TESTIFY ON BEHALF OF NEARLY 20,000 MEMBERS IN MY UNION. AS NEW YORK CITY CITY SEEKS TO RECUPERATE FROM THE ECONOMIC EFFECT OF THE PANDEMIC, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE INCENTIVIZE AND ENABLE THE GROWTH, MODERNIZATION, AND MANY IMPORTANTLY THE HEALING OF OUR IMPORTANT TOURIST INDUSTRY. I'' M HERE TO SUPPORT AIRBNB AND ITS CHOICE ON AMENDING THIS BILL. TOURISM IS SUCH AN ESSENTIAL PART OF NEW YORK CITY, CREATING JOBS, SUPPORTING RESIDENT BUSINESSES, AND TAKING MUCH NEEDED TAX OBLIGATION INCOME TO THE CITY, AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT AS TOURISM GOES BACK TO NEW YORK, HOME SHARING NECESSITY BE AN VITAL PART OF ENSURING TOURISM BENEFITS FOR ALL NEW YORKERS IN ALL OF OUR DIVERSE NEIGHBORHOODS.
THE RETURN OF TRAVEL TO THE CITY IS AIDING TO DRIVE CRUCIAL ECONOMIC IMPACT FOR A TOURISM ECONOMIC CLIMATE THAT SAW 67% LESS TRAVELING, $1.2 BILLION IN LOST TAX INCOME, AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF JOBS LOST. IT IS ALSO HELPING AIRBNB HOST MAKE ENDS MEET. THESE ARE EVERYDAY BRAND-NEW YORKERS THAT HAVE TRANSFORMED TO PERIODIC HOSTING IN THEIR RESIDENCE AS AN ECONOMIC LIFELINE DURING THE PANDEMIC. TODAY I STAND PRIOR TO YOU AS A HAPPY HOUSE OWNER, MANY THANKS TO THE ADVANTAGES OF A GREAT UNION JOB. WE ALL HAVE TO START SOMEPLACE. AS A YOUNG PERSON, LIKE LOTS OF NEW YORKERS, MY ROOMMATE AND I RELIED ON EACH OTHER TO ENDURE. SHARING MY HOME PROVIDED ME THE CHANCE TO CONSERVE MONEY AND RESOURCES. WITH THE INTRO OF 2309, WE ARE HOPE THAT NEW YORK CITY COULD FINALLY STEP TO CLARIFY THE LAW REGARDING HOME SHARING, AND ESTABLISH A CLEAR REGULATORY FRAMEWORK FOR THIS MARKET. IN DOING SO, WE NECESSITY ALSO SEEK TO SECURE THE RIGHTS AND CAPACITIES OF RESIDENTS TO EARN ADDITIONAL INCOME THAT WILL CERTAINLY ALLOW THEM TO REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES, AFFORD THEIR TAX OBLIGATIONS, MAKE FACILITIES FIXINGS, AND MEET OTHER FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS.
AS CURRENTLY WRITTEN, THOUGH INTRODUCTION 2309 WOULD ENACT EXPENSIVE AND REDUNDANT REQUIREMENTS ON EVERYDAY NEW YORKERS SEEKING TO MAKE ENDS SATISFY, THE REGULATIONS FALLS SHORT TO GIVE NEEDS TO THE CARRYING OUT AGENCY, THE WORKPLACE OF SPECIAL ENFORCEMENT, ON WHAT KINDS OF UNITS IN NEW YORK CITY CITY WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR A PERMIT. FURTHER, IT FALLS SHORT TO NEED THAT HOME SHARE PLATFORMS GATHER AND PAY TAXES TO THE CITY ON THEIR TRANSACTIONS. AN UNTAPPED FINANCING SOURCE THAT IS PAST D ESSENTIAL AS WE CLI OUT OF THE ECONOMIC DEVASTATION WROUGHT BY THE PANDEMIC. IN CLOSING, I'' LL JUST SAY THAT CURRENTLY, INTRO 2309 FAILS TO PROVIDE, BUT WE SIGN UP WITH AIRBNB AND STAKEHOLDERS ACROSS THE CITY AND URGING THIS ADVICE TO PASS AN MODIFIED WILL CERTAINLY THAT RESOLVES THE FACTORS RAISED TODAY. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. >> > > MANY THANKS FOR YOUR TESTIMONY.> > > SORRY, GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS KAREN BECK AND I AM A PROPERTY OWNER AT THE PARK CONDO.
I'' VE HAD A WHOLE LOT OF TESTIMONY BELOW RIGHT NOW AND THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LEGAL, SHORT- TERM RENTALS, AND ILLEGAL SHORT- TERM RENTALS. AND I SADLY LIVE THROUGHOUT THE HALL FROM AN ILLEGAL SHORT-TERM AIRBNB HOST. I BOUGHT MY HOME OVER FIVE YEARS EARLIER. I USED MY ENTIRE COST SAVINGS TO RESTORE THE HOME, AND ULTIMATELY, NOW I AM FORCED OUT OF THE HOME BECAUSE I DON'' T PICK TO LIVE ACROSS THE HALLL FROM A HOTEL. I LIVE ACROSS THE HALL FROM A ROTATING DOOR, TENANTS IN AND OUT, HOUSEKEEPERS IN AND OUT, LUGGAGE, UNFAMILIAR PEOPLE. I LIVE IN A FULL-SERVICE BUILDING. THAT DOESN'' T AID. BECAUSE THE CONCIERGE GET ON THE TAKE. THE'BOARD CONTAINER ' T IMPLEMENT THE GUIDELINES'. THE BUILDING CAN ' T IMPOSE THE RULES. AND WHEN I PURCHASED THE CONDOMINIUM FIVE YEARS EARLIER, I READ THE OFFERING G PLAN. I CHECK OUT THE REGULATIONS. AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY WE CANISTER ' T IMPLEMENT THE'REGULATIONS. WE DON ' T REQUIRED SIMPLY A LEGISLATION. WE DEMAND THE AIDS OF EVERYBODY BELOW IN NEW YORK CITY CITY, ORGANIZED LABOR, BOARDS, BUILDINGGS, TO GET WITH EACH OTHER AND ENABLE PEOPLE WHO WISH TO RESIDE IN PEACE TO DO SO.
I LIVE LIFE THROUGH AP POLL SO THAT I TIN DOCUMENT EVIDENCE FOR THE CITY, FOR THE BUILDING. I CALL 311. 311 TAKES 30 TO 40 DAYS TO COME AND EVALUATE THE FACILITIES. THE LESSEES ARE ALREADY GONE IN 30 OR 40 DAYS. THE HOMEOWNER IS BACK, OR ANYONE WHO, HIS ASSISTANT OR CLOSE FRIEND IS BACK IN THE HOME. IN CLOSING, I WISHED TO SAY THAT I SUSTAIN INTRO 2309 AND I PROMPT THE COMMON COUNCIL TO PASS IT. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME TODAY, AND I'' M SORRY I DISCUSSED A LITTLE LITTLE BIT. >> > > THANK YOU A LOT FOR YOUR TESTAMENT. WHAT I WISH IS HAPPENING TODAY IS THAT THE VIEWPOINTS THAT ARE BEING OFFERED BY VARIOUS VANTAGE THINGS IN THE CITY ARE BEING LISTENED TO BY EVERYBODY. SO IT IS OUR FOCUS ALWAYS AT THE NEW YORK CITY COUNCIL TO LISTEN INTENTLY TO WHAT'' S OCCURRING ON THE GROUND, SO THANKS A LOT FOR TAKING THE TIME OUT TO PROVIDE YOUR STATEMENT.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND IT IS ON THE RECORD, BUT MYSELF AND COUNCILMEMBER CALO'' S HAVE REALLY SET TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT WE CAN COME UP WITH THE VERY BEST ITERATION OF An EXPENSE THAT SERVES THE OBJECTIVE OF EVERY PERSON. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TESTAMENT. >> > > YOU ' RE WELCOME, MANY THANKS FOR HAVING ME. >> > > THAT MID-DAY, MY NAME IS CHRISTOPHER LeBRON, I'' M FROM KITCHEN AREA, NEW YORK CITY, AND I REPRESENT THE 47th STREET TENANTS ASSOCIATION. GOSH, WHERE TO REALLY BEGINNING? I WAS HERE THREE YEARS EARLIER ASKING FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO PASS COUNCILMEMBER CARLENE RIVERA'' S BILL, WHICH YOU DID. I WAS EXTREMELY GRATEFUL FOR THE WAY MOST OF US FUNCTIONED.
TODAY I'' M TALKING AND HOPE THAT YOU DO PASS TO 309, WITH NO MODIFICATIONS, AND LET ME TELL YOU QUICKLY WHY. IN 2009 I RETURNED HOME FROM ST. LOUIS UNIVERSITY TO MY PARENTS ON 47th STREET. MY MOMMY WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN A RENT STABILIZED APARTMENT THERE AFTER SHE HAD FINISHED IN 1978 FROM PRINCETON. SHE WAS ALSO ABLE TO GET A RENT- SUPPORTED APARTMENT FOR MY GRANDMOTHER, MY ABUELA. 47th STREET HAS BEEN EVERYTHING TO US. AS AN IMMIGRANTS, IT IS OUR HOME. NOT PUERTO RICO. COOKING AREA AND 47th Road.
THROUGHOUT THAT TIME, NEIGHBORS WENT AWAY AND WERE RAPIDLY CHANGED BY ILLEGAL HOTELS OPERATED BY MONITORING AND BY OUR BUILDING OWNERS. COOKING AREA, AS YOU ALL KNOW, IS A UNION WORKING COURSES LOCATION WHERE A MINIMUM OF IT WAS UNTIL AIRBNB EXPLOITED THE REAL ESTATE MARKET OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD. WE RESIDED IN CONCERN DAILY AS VACATIONERS CAN BE FOUND IN AND OUT 24-HOUR A DAY, SOME SOBER, SOME DRUNK, HAVING TO GRAB A BAT TO PROTECT MY DOOR WHEN SOMEBODY WAS DRUNK TRYING TO GET IN MY HOUSE IS PROBABLY AMONG THE A LOT OF TRAUMATIZING POINTS I'' VE EVER EXPERIENCED, AAND I EXPANDED UP IN THE SPLIT EPIDEMIC OF THE 1980S.
IN OTHER WORDS, THIS BILL IS GOING TO GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO REGISTER LEGAL TEMPORARY LEASINGS. AND WHAT'' S REALLY VITAL REGARDING WHY, COUNCILMEMBER, THIS IS AN VITAL VARIABLE. IF YOU GOOGLE AIRBNB, NEW YORK CITY OR LeBRON CURRENT TAB, YOU WILL CERTAINLY SEE EXACTLY WHAT TOOK PLACE WHEN ONE OF THE CELLAR STORAGE LOCATIONS WAS TRANSFORMED INTO AN PROHIBITED HOTEL. 26 APARTMENT OR CONDOS ON MY BLOCK WERE ELIMINATED FROM THE RENTAL MARKET. ACTUAL POSSIBILITIES TO PUT DOWN ORIGINS IN A CITY THAT WE'' VE ALL HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO OFFER. THANK YOU. >> > > THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR TESTIMONY. THERE ARE NO DOUBT FOR THIS PANEL. WE ARE GOING TO RELOCATE TO THE NEXT PANEL. WHICH CONSISTS OF PACKAGE ARETE. ALEX YOUTHFUL. SKIP CAROL. >> > > GREAT MID-DAY,'I ' M KITTS GARRETT, A RESIDENT OF CHELSEA AND SUPPORT INTRODUCTION 2309, COALITION AGAINST ILLEGAL HOTELS. 45 CHRISTOPHER STREET IS A CONDOMINIUM. OWNERS RENT OUT THEIR UNITS. I RENTED OUT ONE FOR EIGHT YEARS. WHEN AIRBNB OPENED, EACH WEEKEND BREAK PEOPLE WITH BACKPACKS GOT IN THEIR BUILDING.
THEY SCHEDULED HOMES FOR SHORT TERM REMAINS USING AIRBNB OR ONE PENALTY STAY, A LUXURY RESERVATION SITE THAT PROVIDES MULTIPLE UNITS IN OUR BUILDING, ALL ILLEGALLY. AS A SINGLE WOMAN, I WAS VERY AWKWARD WITH COMPLETE STRANGERS GOING INTO THE STRUCTURE. MY HOME WAS THE FIRST OF 18 UNITS TO BE BURGLARIZED, ALL UTILIZING A KEY, WITHOUT COMPELLED ENTRY. WHEN I ASKED TO SEE THE SECURITY FOOTAGE, I HEARD THAT THE CAMS WERE NOT WORKING THAT DAY.
WHEN I ASKED THE FRONT WORKDESK INDIVIDUAL WHY ALL THESE INDIVIDUALS WERE COMING AND GOING, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE ADVISED TO TURN OVER THE KEYS TO WHOMEVER ASKED FOR THEM. I RELOCATED TO A RENTAL DEVELOPING WITH A STRICT PLAN THAT PROHIBITS TEMPORARY RENTALS, SO I COULD FEEL SAFE. FOR THE SECURITY OF THE HOUSE, THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THE INDIVIDUALS WISHING TO USE SHORT-TERM STAYS, THERE NEEDS TO BE A LAWFUL SYSTEM THAT LISTS DEVICES, WHICH HAS BEEN CERTIFIED FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY, SANITATION, AND PROTECTION. THEY OUGHT TO BE EQUIPPED WITH SPRINKLERS AND SMOKE AND CARBON MONOXIDE GAS DETECTORS.
KEYS SHOULD BE HANDED OVER IN A SAFE WAY INSTEAD OF BEING LEFT IN A BODEGA, WHERE ANY PERSON CAN MAKE A MATCH. AIRBNB NOW HAS MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE EMPLOYED AS DILEMMA MANAGERS WHO TAKE CARE OF HARD INSTANCES TAKING CARE OF CLIENTS WHO RESERVE A PROPERTY, THAT HAVE BEEN, ROBBED, HAD HOME DESTROYED, AND ALSO DIED. FOR THE SAFETY OF GUESTS, THE PHOTO OF NEW YORK CITY CITY AS A SAFE VISITOR LOCATION, PLEASE PASS INTRODUCTORY 2309. IT WILL CERTAINLY PROFIT INDIVIDUAL WHO WISH TO RENTAL FEE THEIR FEATURES LAWFULLY AND AID KEEP PEOPLE SAFE, AND BOOST OUR TAX OBLIGATION BASE. >> > > MANY THANKS FOR YOUR TESTIMONY.> > > MY NAME IS SKIP CAROL. I'' M A 61 YEARS OF AGE IMPAIRED MALE THAT IS AN AIRBNB HOME.
I'' VE RESIDED IN MY HOME GIVEN THAT 1960. I INTEND TO SAY THANKS TO THE BOARD MEMBERS AND THE CHAIRPERSON FOR HEARING MY STATEMENT. 3 YEARS AGO I WAS HERE AT THIS EXTREMELY TABLE, TELLING YOU REGARDING THE OFFICE OF SPECIAL ENFORCEMENT AND HOW THEY GAVE ME TICKETS IN 2017. YOU GUARANTEED ME THAT I WAS SAFE WITH THE BRAND-NEW LEGISLATION DUE TO THE FACT THAT I HAD A 2 FAMILY HOME. 10 DAYS AFTER THAT, THEY WERE BACK AT MY HOME AGAIN AND THEY GAVE ME FOR MORE TICKETS. I BATTLED THEM. I EXPERIENCED FOUR LEVELS OF COURTS AND FINALLY, THE CITY APPEALED A FINAL TIME, AND AFTER THAT THEY WON. I DON'' T COUNT ON THE WORKPLACES OF SPECIAL ENFORCEMENT TO PERFORM WHAT YOU ASSUME THEY ARE GOING TO DO. THEY TARGETED ME. THEY HARASSED ME, ALL DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS DOING AIRBNB IN MY OWN HOME, IN MY SISTER'' S OLD AREA. I WEAR'' T UNDERSTAND–'I DON ' T UNDERSTAND THEIR THINKING. THEY SAID 3 YEARS AGO THAT THEY WOULD DEAL WITH ME THE SAME AS THEY WOULD A PROPERTY MANAGER WITH 60 UNITS IN THE STRUCTURE.
I'' M OBVIOUSLY NOT THAT. I'' M NOT A NUMBER. I DON ' T OWN A RENTAL RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OR A RESIDENCE. IT ' S MY HOME, AND ALL I ' M DOING IS TRYING TO KEEP THERE SO I'TIN REMAIN IN THIS CITY, THE CITY THAT I ' VE BEEN >> MY WHOLE LIFE. THANK YOU SIGNIFICANTLY. > > >> THTHANK YOU FOR THE TESTIMON > > MY NAME IS ALEX YOUTHFUL, I ' M GOING TO READ RIGHT FROM THE PAGE. GREAT MID-DAY ALL, MY NAME IS ALEX YOUTHFUL, An OCCUPANT IN MIDTOWN IN A RENT MANAGED BUILDING AND A MEMBER OF THE WESTSIDE COMMUNITY ALLIANCE, THOUGH MY ASSERTIONS TODAY ARE MY OWN. THERE IS AN ASPECT OF INTRODUCTORY 2309 WHICH I ENJOY, AND ALSO ONE DOWNSTREAM BENEFIT THAT ISN'' T AS OBVIOUS. IN THE BUILDING IN WHICH I LIVE, ORGANIZES HOSTING VISITORS WERE NEVER PHYSICALLY PRESENT AND ARE STILL NEVER PHYSICALLY PRESENT.
INTRODUCTION 2309 WOULD MAKE IT CLEAR THAT ON HELD REMAINS ARE ILLEGAL. ON HOSTED STAYS SEVERELY IMPEDE TENANTS LEGAL RIGHTS TO FEE PROCESS. IF A TENANT UNION DESIRES TO DO A 7 An APPLICATION TO GET RID OF THE PRESENT PROPERTY SUPERVISOR IN SUPPORT OF A BRAND-NEW ONE, EMPTY UNITS AND GUESTS AND THIRD-PARTY HOST NEED TO NOT BE RELATED TO AS LESSEES. TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORY, A 7 An APPLICATION, ACTUALLY ANY APPLICATION NEEDS THAT A TENANT OR TENANT UNION PRESENT YOUR HOUSE IN COURT An APPLICATION WHERE THE GATHERED SIGNATURES STAND FOR 30% OF THE PLAN OF LEASE HOLDING PERSON TENANTS. AT THE THREAT OF STATING THE OBVIOUS, I MUST EMPHASIZE THAT EMPTY APARTMENTS ARE NOT TENANTS. VISITORS CERTAINLY AREN'' T RENTERS, EITHER. AN ACCURATE HEAD COUNTS OF ACTUAL TENANTS IS IN THIS SITUATION CRUCIAL, BUT BECAUSE LANDLORDS HAVE CONFUSION AND PROBLEMS AND ULTIMATE FAILING IN TENANT PETITIONS REACHING MANDATORY 30% WHICH REAL ESTATE COURT CALLS FOR, LANDLORDS WILL CERTAINLY REMAIN TO HOLD BACK AS MUCH RESIDENTIAL L DATA AS POSSIBLE WHILE ALSO ENCOURAGING GUESTS FROM ONLINE PLATFORMS TO BE IN BUILDINGS.
THIS CHOICE REPRODUCES COMPLICATION, SO THAT THE GUESTS ARE MISTAKEN FOR LESSEES, WHICH STRIKES THE ODDS TO THE LANDLORD'' S ADVANTAGE AS THE 30 % REAL ESTATE COURT GOAL COMES TO BE UNCLEAR FOR THE RENTER UNION. INTRODUCTORY 2309 WOULD AID TO ALLEVIATE PROPRIETOR'' S UNWILLINGNESS TO GIVE INFO. THE BIG ELIMINATE FOR MY STATEMENT IS THAT ILLEGAL HOTEL TASK STANDS IN THE MEANS OF THE RIGHT TO DUE PROCESS. THANKS. >> > > THANK YOU MUCH DURING– THANKS SIGNIFICANTLY FOR THE TESTIMONY. >> > >'WE ' LL PHONE CALL THE NEXT PANEL. CHARLIE SANBORN, MR. WOLF, FELICE BARBER. MR. SANBORN. RYAN MENELL. RYAN MENELL. DONALD RAN SAY. I ASK THAT YOU SPECIFY YOUR NAME CLEARLY FOR THE RECORD BEFORE RELEASING YOUR TESTAMENT.
YOU TIN BEGIN WHENEVER YOU LIKE. >> > > GREAT AFTERNOON, MY NAME IS WOLF, AND THANK YOU FOR CHAIRING THIS TESTAMENT, THANK YOU FOR STAYING WITH THE ENTIRE THING AND IN FACT GETTING THE PHONE AND RETURNING MY CALL TWICE, WHEN I CALLED YOU AND WE SPOKE FOR OVER 15 MINUTES. THAT FOR ME WAS AN REMARKABLE MOMENT. I'' M THE COPRESIDENT OF THE HEBREW STARS FOUNDATION/UNION. WE WERE FORMED 3 CENTURIES AGO IN 1898. WE ARE 14 YEARS OLDER THAN ACTORS EQUITY AND ALL OUR MEMBERS ARE MEMBERS OF CAST EQUITY. THE MATERIAL OF NEW YORK THAT MADE NEW YORK THE MOVIE THEATER FUNDING OF THE GLOBE WERE THE UNIONS AND THE ACTING UNIONS OF THE HEBREW STARS UNION THAT MADE SECONDLY METHOD THE YIDDISH CINEMA CAPITAL OF THE WORLD, WHERE WE HAD 14 THEATERS DURING ITS HEYDAY, AND BROADWAY.
NEITHER OF US EVER WENT ACROSS THE UNION LINE, OR A PICKET LINE, WHEN WE WERE PICKETING. WE BOTH HAVE FANTASTIC REGARD, AND NEW YORK BECAME THE CINEMA RESOURCES SINCE OF US. I'' M BELOW TO TALK ABOUT THE SPECIFIC SITUATIONS THAT RESIDENT REGULATION 152 ENFORCES ON US IN 2351 AND 2359 THAT EFFORT TO ADDRESS THE SCENARIO, BUT NOT YET, AND IT DOESN'' T REALLY HIT THE MARK. THE LEGAL ADVICE MAY NEED TO DO A LITTLE TWEAKING RIGHT HERE TO GET US JUST A LITTLE CLOSER TO IN WHICH WE NEED TO BE. OUR BUILDING HAS BEEN VACANT FOR TEN YEARS. WE HAVE NOT HAD GAS IN OUR BUILDING IN 21 1/2 YEARS, MOST LIKELY 40 YEARS, BUT DISADVANTAGE ED WILL VERIFY 21 1/2 YEARS, BUT THEY WILL NOT HALLOW ANYTHING. THEIR RESPONSE TO US IS, WELL, YOU REQUIRED TO GO OUT AND HIRE FOR $3000 A MASTER PLUMBING TECHNICIAN, WHO WILL CERTAINLY AFTER THAT FILE A REPORT SO WE WENT HAVE LIABILITY, BUT THEY WILL CERTAINLY VALIDATE THAT WE DON'' T HAVE ANY GAS IN OUR STRUCTURE. THERE DESIRES 2015, THOSE 2 SOULS THAT WERE LOST NOT TO HUNDRED YARDS FROM OUR STRUCTURE DOWN ON EAST SEVENTH ROAD, BECAUSE WE GO TO 31 EAST SEVENTH STREET, THE SURGE. CON ED CAME IN AND CHANGED OUR GAS PIPELINE ON THE WHOLE ROAD. THEY DID NOT EVEN PROVIDE United States A FEEDER PIPE. WE HAVE NO GAS CUT OFF VALVE. 29 TO 31 HAVE CUT OFF VALVES BUT WE HAVE NO GAS. THEY'' RE ASKING US TO HAVE OUR EXPOSED GAS INTERNAL PIPING EXPECTED EVERY 4 YEARS WHEN SOUND JUDGMENT TELLS YOU THAT WE HAVE NO OBJECTIVE OF EVER UTILIZING OUR STRUCTURE. IT IS UNINHABITED. IT HAS NEVER BEEN HOUSES. IT HAS NEVER BEEN ANYTHING BUT A UNION HALL, A SHAPE OF POL, AND A GATHERING PLACE. SO WE DON'' T HAVE INCOME FROM THINGS LIKE THAT. WE ARE TRYING TO CREATE A NEIGHBORHOOD SPACE, A YIDDISH MOVIE THEATER, A TRAINING AREA FOR THE LOWER EAST SIDE, A JEWEL I WISH THAT THEY WERE STILL RIGHT HERE TO HEAR THIS, THE GOOD WE ARE TRYIING TO PERFORM. FORCING US TO CONFORM WITH FOUR YEAR INSPECTIONS WHEN COMMON SENSE REVEALS THAT WE HAVE NO GAS PIPING, AND WHEN WE GO TO THE BUILDINGS DEPARTMENT, AND WE DID SPEAK– I'' LL SURFACE WITH THIS– WHEN WE DID SPEAK– WHEN WE ATTEMPTED TO SPEAK WITH COMMISSIONER LAROCCO, THERE WAS NO REACTION.
THERE WAS NONE AFTER FIVE CALLS AND MY VISITS THERE, NONRESPONSIVE. WHAT I AM CLAIMING IS HOLD United States TO THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE REQUIREMENTS. AVOID US FROM GETTING GAS. THAT WOULD BE A FIX. IF YOU AVOID United States FROM ACQUIRING GAS AND YOU HAVE THE DIVISION OF BUILDINGS CONFIRMING WE HAVE NO GAS, THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT TO CHANGE AND CHECK GAS PIPING THAT IS NEVER GOING TO BE USED BECAUSE IF WE RAISE THE MILLIONS REQUIRED TO CREATE THIS COMMUNITY SPACE, MENTOR ROOM, YIDDISH CINEMA AND IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCE MOVIE THEATER ON 31 EAST SEVENTH STREET, WE WILL HAVE CUTTING EDGE PIPES IN LOCATION. BUT THIS IS A DIFFICULT SHIP, SO IF IT GOES UNDER 22, 59 OR 2321, THE DIFFICULTY IS APPRECIATED THAT YOU HAVE DONE. IT JUST REQUIRES A LITTLE TWEAK, A LITTLE OF PERK TO ASSIST US OUT RIGHT HERE. LEGAL ADVICE I UNDERSTAND CANISTER DO IT. I'' M NOT A LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE, I'' M JUST A REALISTIC AUDIO SPEAKER. I VALUE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. >> > > THANKS FOR YOUR PERSEVERANCE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY.
>> > > THANKS >>. >'> THANK YOU. I ' M FELICE BARBER, ELDERLY SUPERVISOR OF POLICY AND EXTERNAL MATTERS AT THE GENERAL CONTRACTORS ORGANIZATION IN NEW YORK. THANK YOU FOR THE CHANCE TO TESTIFY TODAY IN OPPOSITION TO INTRODUCTION 2278 A, THE CITY'' S PROPOSITION FOR LICENSING OF GENERAL CONTRACTORS. THE GCA REPRESENTS THE UNIONIZED HEFTY CIVIL CONTRACTORS THAT CONSTRUCT NEW YORK CITY CITY'' S PUBLIC FUNCTIONS INFRASTRUCTURE, ROADS, BRIDGES, WATER AND SEWER SYSTEMS, TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS AND PARKS THAT GIVE THE REALLY STRUCTURE FOR NEW YORK CITY.
GENERALLY, WE ARE NOT AGAINST GENERAL CONTRACTOR LICENSING REQUIREMENTS. WE ARE OPPOSED TO INTRO 2278 A AS DRAFTED AND OUR COMPANY BELIEVE THE COSTS TAKES THE WRONG TECHNIQUE TO LICENSING. THE EXPENSE TRIES TO FIT LICENSING OF GENERAL CONTRACTORS INTO A SPECIALIZED PROFESSION LICENSING VERSION, WHICH IS NOT APPLICABLE TO GENERAL PROFESSIONAL WORK. ESSENTIALLY TRYING TO FIT A SQUARE PEG INTO A ROUND OPENING. THE LICENSING PROPOSAL AS DRAFTED WOULD PUT ON ANY SPECIALIST WITH A DEPARTMENT OF STRUCTURE PERMIT.
IT'' S A REAL CONCERN AND IT'' S VAGUE, WHICH LEADS TO ABUSE, AND IT ' S RESTRICTIVE. SHE COULDN'' T– SHE JUST COULDN ' T EVEN BE THERE. ACTUAL CHANCES TO PUT DOWN BEGINNINGS IN A CITY THAT WE'' VE ALL HAD THE ADVANTAGE TO OFFER. > > >> THTHANK YOU FOR THE TESTIMON > > MY NAME IS ALEX YOUNG, I ' M GOING TO READ RIGHT FROM THE PAGE. I'' M NOT A LAWYER, I'' M SIMPLY A COMMONSENSE AUDIO SPEAKER.SUCH A PROPOSITION WOULD ENCOMPASS PUBLIC CITY FUNCTIONS, FRAMEWORK SERVICE PROVIDERS MIGHT BE REQUIRED TO PULL A LICENSE FOR WORK THAT IS ANCILLARY TO THE OVERALL PROJECT SUCH AS A WALKWAY SHED FOR A BRIDGE OR VARIOUS OTHER FACILITIES TASK, FUNCTION THAT IS ANCILLARY TO THE OVERALL FACILITIES PROJECT SHOULD BE EXEMPTED FROM GENERAL SPECIALIST LICENSING NEEDS. SPECIALISTS DEALING WITH CITY PUBLIC FUNCTIONS PROJECTS MUST UNDERGO AN EXTENSIVE OBLIGATION REVIEW AND BACKGROUND CHECKS FROM THE CITY'' S PURCHASE AWARDS PROCEDURE, THEREBY ENSURING THAT ONLY RESPONSIBLE CONTRACTORS WERE AWARDED CITY AGREEMENTS. EFFICIENCY OF SETTLEMENTS ALSO REQUIRED FOR CITY PROCUREMENTS ENSURING THAT CCONTRACTORS DOIN BUSINESS WITH THE CITY HAVE A BASE LEVEL OF FINANCIAL ABILITY BEFORE THEY CANISTER BE AWARDED A CONTRACT.
THE DEMANDS OF THE LICENSING PROPOSITIONS ARE AS A RESULT NOT PERTINENT TO PUBLIC FUNCTIONS TASKS, FURTHER SUPPORTING THE NEED TO EXEMPT PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE FROM THIS PROPOSAL. THE BILL IS DRAFTED ALSO IS NOT ABOUT PROTECTING THE EMPLOYEES SECURITY. MAY I CONTINUE? THANK YOU. IT'' S NOT CONCERNING PROTECTING AND GUARANTEEING RISK-FREE WORKSITES. IF THAT WERE THE CASE IT WOULD ESTABLISH SPECIFICATIONS OF TREATMENT, TESTING, RECORDKEEPING, OR SUCH.
OTHER DC LICENSING PROPOSITIONS TAKE THIS TECHNIQUE. THE EXPENSE ASSIGNS BLAME TO THE INDIVIDUAL PULLING THE DOB LICENSE WITHOUT SETTING FORTH ANY CRITERIA OR SPECIFICATIONS RELATING TO SECURITY, EFFECTIVELY MAKING THAT INDIVIDUAL THE DESIGNATED OFFENDER THAT WILL ENABLE DOB TO HAVE An IMAGE OP TARGETING A SPECIFIC PERSON. BY TAKING THIS TECHNIQUE, THE BILL TYPE OF NEGATIVELY IMPACT SAFETY AND SECURITY BY DRIVING OUT RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUALS FROM OFFERING AS THE AUTHORIZATION DESIGNEE. NO ONNE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD ACCEPT A PLACEMENT TO FUNCTION AS A DESIGNATED ACCUSED FOR THEIR FIRM. THE COSTS FURTHER FALLS SHORT TO INCLUDE ANY DUE PROCESS ARRANGEMENTS.
THE RETRACTION OF THE GC PERMIT IS LEFT AT THE CONVERSATION OF THE COMMISSIONER, LEAVING AN INDIVIDUAL OR COMPANY IN JEOPARDY OF BEING PUT OUT OF SERVICE AT THE IMPULSES OF A PUBLIC OFFICIAL. THERE ARE NO STEPS LAID OUT FOR PRESENTING A PROTECTION OR FOR GRADUATED ENFORCEMENT PROVISIONS. WE WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK IN COLLABORATION WITH THE COUNCIL AND THE CITY TO ESTABLISH A FAIR AND BALANCED RAPOZA LAND WE BEBELIEVE THAT THE EXPENSE BEFORE THE COMMON COUNCIL TODAY TAKES THE WRONG METHOD. THANK YOU QUITE. >> > > MANY THANKS FOR YOUR TESTAMENT.> > > EXCELLENT AFTERNOON, MR. CHAIR. I AM THE EXEC VICE PRESIDENT OF THE STRUCTURE TRADES PERSONNEL ORGANIZATION.
WE REPRESENT 1100 UNION CONTRACTORS IN NEW YORK CITY, EMPLOYING OVER 100,000 UNION EMPLOYEES. WE ARE BELOW THIS PARTICULAR AFTERNOON TO STATE OUR RESISTANCE TO INTRODUCTION 2278 A, AND JUST FOR SOME CONTEXT, AS I'' M GOING TO BOUNCE AROUND A LITTLE, BUT YOU'' VE HEARD A GREAT DEAL OF THE POINTS CURRENTLY. I WAS THE LEGISLATIVE SUPERVISOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF BUILDINGS FOR 11 1/2 YEARS, AND IN THE EXCLUSIVE BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION FIELD NOW FOR ALMOST 9, AND HAVE MANAGED THE LICENSING OF GENERAL CONTRACTORS FOR PRACTICALLY TWENTY YEARS. THIS COSTS ISN'' T ABOUT SAFETY AND SECURITY. AS'YOU ' VE HEARD, IT ' S REGARDING MAKING ONE INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS AND THERE IS NOTHING ELSE WORD FOR IT. EVEN A SMALL CONTRACTOR IN NEW YORK CITY, WORKING IN BRROOKLYN COULD HAVE 20 OR 30 JOBS GOING AT THE VERY SAME TIME. IS IT RIGHT OR IS IT SAFER TO HAVE A SINGLE PERSON ARE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THOSE 30 JOBS? THE DOB OUGHT TO BE ALLOWING MULTIPLE DESIGNEES PER BUSINESS, OR REQUIRING IN SOME CASES, SO THAT THERE IS A PERSON THAT IS ULTIMATELY IN CHARGE OF MAKING SAFETY AND SECURITY DECISIONS FOR THOSE INDIVIDUAL WEBSITES. HAVING ONE PERSON BE IN DESIGNATED IN A CORPORATE WORKPLACE FOR A LARGE BUSINESS OR ONE PERSON IN– SOME ENTREPRENEUR TRAINING OF THEIR GARAGE AND A SMALL COMPANY, IS NOT THE RIGHT METHOD TO SAY THAT THIS IS ABOUT SAFETY.
IT'' S CONCERNING HAVING A SINGLE PERSON DOB CONTAINER GO AFTER. SIMPLY A QUICK INSTANCE. ONE OF THE COMPANIES THAT WE REPRESENT, AND THESE PAGES ARE ALL FILLED, I'' LL SHOW IT TO YOU. 200 WEB PAGES OF SAFETY AND SECURITY DEMANDS NOT MANDATED BY THE CITY CODE. O.K.? THE COMPANY WORKPLACES OF GENERAL CONTRACTORS IN NEW YORK CITY CITY, THEY HAVE LAWYERS. THEY HAVE SHAREHOLDERS. A FEW OF THESE COMPANIES ARE PUBLICLY TRADED, AND CONSEQUENTLY THEY ARE CONSIDERING SECURITY. THE COMMISSIONER HERSELF MENTIONED THAT THE LAST 2 1/2 YEARS HAVE BEEN SAFER THAN THE FIVE PRIOR. WE INTEND TO WORK WITH THE DIVISION. WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE CATCHING THE RESPONSIBLE CELEBRATION WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG, NOT SIMPLY SOMEONE THAT CONTAINER WALK OUT OF AN WORKPLACE AND SAY WE GOT THE CROOK, BECAUSE THIS EXPENSE, THIS LICENSING PLAN DOES NOT AT ALL RECORDED THE CROOK.
THANKS. >> > > MANY THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR TESTIMONY. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR STATEMENT. IS THERE ANY INQUIRY FOR THIS PANEL? >> > > THANKS, WE ' LL CALL THE FINAL PANEL FOR TODAY. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PERSEVERANCE AND YOUR DESIRES AND COMMITMENT TO HAVE YOUR TESTIMONY PARTICIPATED IN THE DOCUMENT. WE WILL SPEAK WITH SHAWN OPERATING, LUCY BLOCK, ADELIA RAMOS D ALMEIDA,– I'' M SORRY, ALSO, IS JOSEPH CLINTON STILL BELOW? PLEASE SPEAK YOUR NAME NOISALLY RIGHT INTO THE MICROPHONE PRIOR TO YOU START YOUR TESTAMENT SO IT CONTAINER BE PARTICIPATED IN THE RECORD, AND YOU CANISTER BEGIN WHEN YOU'' RE READY.
CAN WE GET HIM A CHAIR AT THE END? THANKS, YES. PLEASE BEGIN. >> > > HI, GREETINGS, GOOD AFTERNOON. THANK YOU FOR THE POSSIBILITY TO TESTIFY. MY NAME IS JOSEPH CONDON. I'' M AFFIRMING ON PART OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD REAL ESTATE ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM, ALSO KNOWN AS CHIP. WE ARE REAL HOUSING SUPPORTERS FOR OUR MEMBERS PROVIDE RENTAL HOUSING FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THE FIVE BOROUGHS. CHIP MEMBERS ARE LONG-LASTING RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OWNERS. THEY HAVE GREAT RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR OCCUPANTS AND HAVE END UP BEING PART OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS IN WHICH THEY PROVIDE REAL ESTATE. THIS TESTIMONY TODAY IS TO CALL YOUR INTEREST TO THE CO NH GROWTH EXPENSE, T 2021-7880.
IT IS NOT An EXPENSE THAT GOT ON THE INITIAL COMMITTEE CALENDAR THAT FINISHED LATE RECENTLY. THE EXPENSE WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE PILOT PROGRAM WILL CERTAINLY BE ON THE SUGGESTIONS OF HPV AND WITHOUT ANY PROOF OF THE PRESENT PROGRAM WORKING. WE WOULD LOVE TO TELEPHONE CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO A FEW OF THE ADVERSE EFFECTS THAT THE PROGRAM HAS ON LESSEES AND THEIR COMMUNITIES, WHILE THE PROGRAM PLANS TO ORIGIN OUT OCCUPANT HARASSMENT, IT ALSO TRAPS TENANTS INTO SUBSTANDARD STRUCTURE SITUATIONS, STRUCTURES PLACECED ON THE LISTING GRADUALLY END UP BEING VACANT AS RENTERS RELOCATED OUT ORGANICALLY AND OWNERS ARE INCAPABLE TO RE-RENT THEIR UNITS BECAUSE THEY CONTAINER NOT OBTAIN A LICENSE TO UPGRADE A COOKING AREA OR A BATHROOM OR PIPES OR ELECTRICAL ENERGY.
IT LIKEWISE ASKED– THE PROGRAM LIKEWISE ACTS AS A TYPE OF REDLINING BECAUSE BANKS HESITATE TO LEND TWO BUILDINGS ON THE CO NH CHECKLIST. WHEN LOOKING AT THE AREAS FOR THE CO NH APPLIES, THIS IS CONCERNING TO CHIP. 70% OF CO NH BUILDINGS ARE FROM ONLY 11 AREA DISTRICTS IN NEW YORK CITY CITY. THE MAJORITY OF THESE COMMUNITIES ARE LOW AND MODERATE INCOME FAMILY MEMBERS OR COMMUNITIES WHERE HOUSING IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM. THE CARBON MONOXIDE NH PROGRAM SECURES LESSEES INTO THEIR SITUATIONS BECAUSE NO BRAND-NEW PROPRIETOR WILL PURCHASE A STRUCTURE ON THE CARBON MONOXIDE NH CHECKLIST. ARGUABLY THE CO NH SERVES TO QUICKEN AREA DETERIORATION BY PREVENTING MAINTENANCE OF UNITS AND COMPELING PROPRIETORS TO LEAVE REAL ESTATE UNITS EMPTY, AS OPPOSED TO RE-RENT THEM. WE RECENTLY LEARNED OF A 6 DEVICE ROUND STONE IN BROOKLYN IN WHICH THE OWNER BELONGS TO THE CARBON MONOXIDE NH PROGRAM BUT HAS ESSENTIALLY BEEN BANKRUPT BECAUSE FIVE OF THE UNITS ARE UNINHABITED.
THEY CAN NOT BE RE-RENTED IN THEIR CURRENT PROBLEM AND THE PROPRIETOR IS STUCK IN THE PROGRAM. SIMPLY TO CLOSE OUT, THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER INTEREST IN THE CARBON MONOXIDE NH PROGRAM, INCLUDING WHETHER IT PREVENTS THE CAPABILITY OF HOUSING PROVIDERS TO MAKE AN APARTMENT LEADFREE. THERE SCHEDULE PROCESS WORRIES FOR STRUCTURES ON THE LIST ITSELF, AND THE STANDARD USED TO PUT PROPRIETORS ON THE LIST IS LACKING. WE ASK THE BOARD TO TAKE EVEN MORE TIME TO EXAMINE THE IMPACT OF THE PROGRAM, WHETHER IT WORKS OR WHETHER IT IS EVEN NECESSARY ANYMORE. THE GLOBE HAS ACTUALLY CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY GIVEN THAT 2018. SPECIFICALLY THE PASSAGE OF HST P.A., WHICH CHANGED THE RENT LAWS TO PROTECT AGAINST BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION RELATED RENTAL FEE INCREASES IN BETWEEN TENDENCIES. THANKS FOR TAKING THIS STATEMENT. WE SENT WRITTEN TESTIMONY FOR THE RECORD AND I VALUE YOUR TIME AT THE HEARING TODAY.
>> > > MANY THANKS FOR YOUR STATEMENT. PLEASE CONNECT TO MY WORKPLACE IMMEDIATELY. >> > > GREETINGS OR GREAT MID-DAY, MY NAME IS SEAN RINEY AND I'' M ADDITIONALLY HERE TO TESTIFY IN STRONG OPPOSITION TO THE GROWTH OF THE CARBON MONOXIDE NH PROGRAM. I'' M A BROKER OF APARTMENT BUILDINGS BY TRADE. I HAVE NO BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN EITHER DIRECTION. I PUT ON'' T OWN ANY STRUCTURES UNDER THIS PROGRAM, BUT I DO NEED TO SIT IN LOTS LIVING ROOMS WITH PEOPLE THAT DO, AND IT'' S VERY DIFFICULT SITTING THROUGHOUT FROM SOMEONE THAT'' S FUNCTIONED THEIR ENTIRE LIFE FOR A BUILDING AND HAVE TO LET THEM KNOW THAT IT'' S WORTH LESS, THAT IT CANISTER NOT BE SOLD AT ANY PRICE, THAT THE PROBLEMS THEY ARE UNDER IN TERMS OF MAKING REPAIR WORK OR JUST TRYING TO SELL OR REFINANCE THE BUILDING, THERE IS ABSOLUTUTELY NO SERVICE FOR THEM, AND YOU TIN'' T OFFER A BUILDING AWAY. THE CO NH PROGRAM DOES EXACTLY THE REVERSE OF ITS INTENT AND ATTEMPTS TO SWELLING IN HARASSMENT WITH DETERIORATING STRUCTURES. WHEN YOU CAN'' T GET An AUTHORIZATION TO SOLUTION SOMETHING, NO ONE WILL CERTAINLY ENTER IT.
THE STRUCTURES ARE SCARLET LETTERED AND THE LESSEES CONSEQUENTLY END UP STAYING IN THE SAME EXACT DILEMMA THAT THEY'' RE IN. I BELIEVE WE CONTAINER ALL UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN YOU MAKE SOMETHING VALUELESS, THAT'' S GENUINELY WHAT OCCURS. IT DOESN ' T HOLD ANY VALUE. SECONDLY, MY TESTAMENT, THE CHECKLIST IS TOTALLY APPROXIMATE. IT COMPOUNDS A BUNCH OF VARIOUS THINGS, AND LIKE JOSEPH MENTIONED, JUST NEEDED A LOT EVEN MORE THOUGHTFUL EVALUATION. IT IS ALSO MY TESTAMENT THAT CITY COUNCIL NEED TO REALLY TAKE A LOOK AT THE INTENTION OF THIS, DUE TO THE FACT THAT I BELIEVE THERE IS A SERVICE THAT AIDS DO THE REVERS AND MAKES REPAIR SERVICES EASIER, AND PUTS IT ON TOP OF THE LIST RATHER THAN PUTTING IT ON A FIVE-YEAR SCARLET LETTER CHECKLIST THAT INFORMS EVERYBODY WHO WISHES TO BUY IT, KEEP AWAY, DISAPPEAR.
THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME OUT. >> > > THANK YOU FOR THAT TESTAMENT. THAT WAS STRAIGHT AND TO THE FACTOR. >> > > GREAT MID-DAY. MY NAME IS ADELIA D ALMEIDA. I RESIDED IN THE BUILDING AT 216 WEST 94th STREET GIVEN THAT 2009 THAT HAS BEEN IN VIOLATION FOR ILLEGAL HOTEL BECAUSE STRUCTURE, BY THE MAYORS OFFICE ENFORCEMENT. HOWEVER IT DOESN'' T STOP. THERE ' S ABOUT TO BE 300 UNLAWFUL RESORT AREAS BEING LEASED. I LIVED THERE FOR 26 YEARS. I'' VE BEEN PESTERED GIVEN THAT THE RESORT THINGS STARTED. I'' VE BEEN STONEWALLED BY EVERYBODY, I'' VE BEEN COMPLAINING LATELY TWO TIMES A DAY. THEY'' VE BEEN BRUSHING OFF THE PROBLEMS. THERE WAS A STATEMENT OF NO HARASSMENT IN 2007. AFTERWARDS THEY ACTUALLY RETALIATED ON THE OCCUPANTS THAT TESTIFIED VERSUS THEM, IN CALLING POLICE FOR INTIMIDATION.
MORE THAN WHEN. BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION NOISE, MISUSE, BULLYING, DISRESPECT, ASSAULT, STALKING. WITH COVID, THINGS GOT EVEN WORSE. THEY BEGINNING PLACING HOMELESS PEOPLE THEREIN AND DOPE DEALER MOVED IN. IT SCENTS ALL OVER THE cops and the place IS NOT REALLY BEEN HELPFUL. THEY SAY THAT SANCTUARIES HAVE MEDICINES. I'' VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS BREATHING SINCE LAST SEPTEMBER. I'' M 65 YEARS OF AGES AND A CANCER CELLS SURVIVOR. I'' M AN IMMIGRANT FROM BRAZIL. I UTILIZED TO LOVE NEW YORK. I'' M TRYING, BUT THINGS IS TO HAVE THE SPECIAL ENFORCEMENT TO ACCOMPLISH ALL THESE BUILDINGS IN NEW YORK, THE ISSUES, WHAT THEY INFORMED ME, THEY HAVE THREE INDIVIDUALS TO ENFORCE THE REGULATIONS OF UNLAWFUL RESORTS. IN THE WHOLE CITY OF NEW YORK CITY MANY LEGISLATIONS. I DON'' T KNOW WHO IS GOING TO BE RESTING OVER ME TONIGHT. THEY ARE LEASING PER HOUR. I DON'' T KNOW THAT IS GOING TO GET ON MY SIDE, IF THERE WILL CERTAINLY BE MEDICATION DEALING, DRUG MANUFACTURING, MEDICATION PACKAGING, DRUG CIRCULATION.
FOR EVERYBODY TO SEE. I PAY MY OWN RENTAL FEE AND I PAY MY COSTS. PLEASE HELP US. 215 WEST 94th Road, THE OWNER WAS APPREHENDED FOR DONATING CASH ILLEGALLY TO POLITICIANS IN 2014. I PUT ON'' T KNOW IF I OPEN MY DOORS IF THERE WILL CERTAINLY BE DRUGS, THE MEDICATION GANGS, THAT'' S GOING TO BE OUTSIDE THAT DOOR. IT'' S MY HOME. > >> MANY THANKS FOR YOUR TESTIMONY. >> > > EXCELLENT AFTERNOON, THANKS FOR THE POSSIBILITY TO TESTIFY. MY NAME IS LUCY BLOCH, I'' M A RESEARCH AND PLAN AFFILIATE AT COMMUNITY HOUSING GROWTH OR NHC, THANK YOU FOR LINGERING AND THE CHANCE TO TESTIFY. SO WE COORDINATE THE UNION AGAINST OCCUPANT HARASSMENT AND WE COLLABORATE WITH COUNCILMEMBER BRAD LANDER IN 2017 TO PASS THE ORIGINAL PILOT PROGRAM. SO WE ARE IN ASSISTANCE OF THE COSTS FOR THE GROWTH OF CARBON MONOXIDE NH AND WE ARE PARTICULARLY DELIGHTED Y TO SEE SOME IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS AND EXPANSIONS TO THE REGULATIONS. WE DID AN ANALYSIS OF THE PILOT PROGRAM REVEALING THAT DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROGRAM WAS REALLY IMPORTANT, BUT THE PROGRAM NEEDED ADJUSTMENTS IN ORDER TO HAVE EFFECT THAT WAS MEANT OF QUITING RENTER HARASSMENT, STOPPING THE DISPLACEMENT OF TENANTS IN LOW INCOME AREAS OF SHADE AND PROTECTING OUR AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE.
WE ALSO DID SOME EVEN MORE CURRENT RESEARCH CONSIDERING THE ENFORCEMENT OF HARASSMENT CASES GENERALLY. WHAT WE FOUND IS THAT OUT OF 7126 TENANT HARASSMENT CASES OVER THE LAST 5 1/2 YEARS, AT THE MAJORITY OF 165 SITUATIONS ROTATED IN AN UNFAVORABLE FINDING FOR THE RENTER. WE FOUND BETWEEN 1.8 AND 2.3 OF ALL OCCUPANT HARASSMENT INSTANCES RESULTING IN A LOCATING AGAINST THE OCCUPANTS, THAT'' S CONCERNING 30 PER YEAR. I REALIZE MY TIME IS GOING OUT. I PROVIDED A REALITY SHEET WITH A LITTLE MORE DETAILS ON THAT RESEARCH STUDY.
I DESIRED TO EMPHASIZE SOME OF THE PARTS OF THE REGULATION THAT WE THINK WERE REALLY IMPORTANT, WHICH IS THE DEVELOPMENT RIGHT INTO DISTRICTS THAT ARE AT HIGH RISK OF DISPLACEMENT BASED ON THE NEW VARIATION INDEX THAT'' S BEEN CREATED BY THE CITY AFTER INTRODUCTION 1572. SINCE THEY HAVE THE MOST TO EARNINGS OFF OF, tenant HARASSMENT IN THOSE AREAS WHERE DISPLACEMENT IS THE BEST DANGER. WE ALSO THINK THAT THE DIRECT PAYMENT TO TENANTS IN THE REGULATION WITH A FINDING OF HARASSMENT BY HPD IS INCREDIBLY VITAL, CURRENTLY IN THE PILOT PROGRAM THERE IS NO DEVICE FOR TENANTS TO BE COMPENSATED FOR HARASSMENT THAT THEY FACED IN THE PAST, SO WE THINK THAT THOSE TWO COMPONENTS ARE REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN IN THE REGULATIONS AND I JUST INTENDED TO EXPLAIN THAT THE FUNCTION OF CO NH IS LINKED TO HARASSMENT. IT DOESN'' T PREVENT PROPERTY OWNERS FROM MAKING REPAIRS ON STRUCTURES. IT PREVENTS THEM FROM GETTING ALLOWS TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS IN ORDER TO PROFIT EVEN MORE OF OF THEIR BUILDINGS WITH A PURPOSE, AND THE EFFECT OF THE PROGRAM IS NOT TO STOP THOSE LANDLORDS FROM MAKING ESSENTIAL REPAIR WORK. THANKS. WE SENT WRITTEN STATEMENT AND I'' LL BE COMPLYING WITH UP WITH SOME MORE IN-DEPTH TESTAMENT.
>> > > ONCE MORE THANKS ALL FOR YOUR TESTAMENT, THANKS FOR THE TESTIMONY WE RECEIVED TODAY FROM ALL SIDES. THIS IS VALUABLE AND UNBELIEVABLY IMPORTANT AS WE AS A CITY REALLY TRY TO MAKE AN INITIATIVE TT ENSURE THAT WE CONTAINER PROTECT THROUGH SAFETY AND ALSO TO ENSURE THAT PEOPLE'' S HOMES ARE UNDAMAGED THROUGH THIS PANDEMIC AND AS WE MOVE FORWARD, SO MANY THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TESTAMENT. WE ARE NOW BEGINNING THIS PARTICULAR HEARING ON HOUSING AND STRUCTURES TODAY. THANK YOU. THANKS, BEN.
AS'YOU ' VE HEARD, IT ' S CONCERNING MAKING ONE INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS AND THERE IS NO OTHER WORD FOR IT. > > THANK YOU, WE ' LL PHONE CALL THE FINAL PANEL FOR TODAY. I DON'' T OWN ANY STRUCTURES UNDER THIS PROGRAM, BUT I DO HAVE TO SIT IN LOTS LIVING AREAS WITH INDIVIDUALS THAT DO, AND IT'' S REALLY TOUGH RESTING THROUGHOUT FROM SOMEONE THAT'' S FUNCTIONED THEIR ENTIRE LIFE FOR A BUILDING AND HAVE TO TELL THEM THAT IT'' S VALUE LESS, THAT IT CAN NOT BE SOLD AT ANY PRICE, THAT THE CONDITIONS THEY ARE UNDER IN TERMS OF MAKING REPAIRS OR SIMPLY LOOKING TO OFFER OR REFINANCE THE STRUCTURE, THERE IS ABSOLUTUTELY NO SOLUTION FOR THEM, AND YOU TIN'' T PROVIDE A STRUCTURE AWAY. I PUT ON'' T KNOW IF I OPEN MY DOORS IF THERE WILL CERTAINLY BE MEDICINES, THE MEDICINE GANGS, THAT'' S GOING TO BE OUTSIDE THAT DOOR. IT'' S MY HOME.
