N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law § 390-E

Current through 2024 NY Law Chapters 1-59 and 61-121
Section 390-E - [Multiple versions] Unauthorized installation of certain security devices prohibited

No person, firm, partnership, association or corporation shall install any keyless security device used to control and secure access to the common areas of any residential building without the express written consent of the owner, board of managers, board of directors, or authorized party of such property. Where a keyless security device has been authorized, any installation of such device shall be performed by, or with the consent of, the owner, property manager, board of managers, board of directors, or authorized party in place in such building. The owner, board of managers, board of directors, or authorized party of such property consenting to the installation of a keyless security device shall provide written notice to occupants of the residential building no less than thirty days prior to installation of the keyless security device, which may be made by delivering a notice to each unit, either via physical or electronic means, or by posting the notice in a conspicuous location in each common area accessible to residents for a thirty-day period. Where notice is prescribed by the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of a cooperative or condominium, the owner, board of managers, board of directors or other authorized party may instead comply with the certificate of incorporation or by-laws. In no event shall the installation of such a system be considered a service nor be considered a reason, for any purpose, to increase rent. In no event shall the installation of such a system obstruct or adversely impact the manner in which residents of the residential building access such building.
