N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. tit. 19 § 1262.1
NOTE
The list of conditions constituting violations of the Multiple Residence Law contained herein has been promulgated by the State Building Code Council pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 291 of the Laws of 1966. The Council was further directed to designate from this list, those conditions which it proposes to classify as rent impairing.
Because of the complexity of application of the provisions of the Multiple Residence Law to the various classes of occupancies and the various kinds of construction the Council approved the tabular form of presentation to most clearly designate the applicability of the violation.
Although every effort was made to include all conditions which might be construed to constitute a violation of the Multiple Residence Law, most attention was directed to those conditions which are deemed to be inimical to the welfare of the occupants. Descriptions of conditions contained in the list are worded so as to summarize the actual conditions found in some buildings that violate the intent of the provisions of the Multiple Residence Law and to suggest the corrective work necessary.
The list is intended as a guide to interpretation of the provisions of the Multiple Residence Law. In each case reference is made to the applicable section and subdivision of the Law or the rule number of the Rules and Regulations promulgated pursuant to the provisions of the Multiple Residence Law. In all cases for an exact wording of the provision, the Multiple Residence Law or the Rules and Regulations must be consulted.
The numbered columns indicate the various classes of occupancies and the various kinds of construction regulated by the Multiple Residence Law. A check mark or a note within a column indicates that a particular condition applies to that class and kind of multiple dwelling. In connection with this applicability, it should be noted that section 329, subdivision 2 of the Multiple Residence Law provides in effect that in municipalities which have accepted the applicability of the State Building Construction Code, the provisions of articles four, five, six and seven of the Multiple Residence Law become inoperative with respect to the construction of multiple dwellings in such municipalities so long as the State Building Construction Code is applicable and operative.
