| * | Jennifer Gutiérrez | | | Creation of an office of residential displacement remediation and establishing a residential displacement remediation online portal. | Introduction | This bill would create an Office of Residential Displacement Remediation within NYC Emergency Management (NYCEM). The Office would function as a central support to City residents who have been displaced from their homes following a residential fire or other natural disaster. The Office would also provide information to displaced residents about required agency inspections and vacate orders, if applicable, and would function in an oversight capacity by monitoring agencies relevant to the disaster recovery process. Specifically, the Office would ensure agency compliance with procedures around necessary inspections, vacate orders (if applicable), and deadlines to ensure that displaced individuals are placed back in their residences in a timely manner. This bill would also create an online portal on the NYCEM website for displaced residents and building owners to receive information on post residential fire and natural disaster relief and status updates on relevant agency inspections and orders. Finally, this bill would provide status notifications to the community board, borough president, and council member representing the district where the residential fire or natural disaster occurred. | | |

| * | Jennifer Gutiérrez | | | Timeframe to correct department of buildings violations, requiring additional documentation when an owner seeks to demolish a building, and expanding the certification of no harassment program. | Introduction | This bill would require the respondent of a Department of Buildings violation to correct major and lesser violations within 30 days from the date of the order and correct immediately hazardous violations forthwith. DOB would also be required to publish a report on the time elapsed to correct violations in certain residential buildings, including information such as the number of days from the issuance of the notice of violation to when the correction was accepted by DOB and whether the violation remained uncorrected for more than 6 months. Additionally, this bill would require building owners to submit additional documentation when seeking to demolish a building. Finally, the bill would add orders of correction for Housing Maintenance Code violations as a factor to deny a certificate of no harassment under the Certification of No Harassment program. | | |

| * | Jennifer Gutiérrez | | | Creation of a residential fire emergency response guide. | Introduction | This bill would require the New York City Fire Department (FDNY), in consultation with NYC Emergency Management and other relevant agencies, to develop a residential fire emergency response guide for residents affected or displaced by a fire. This guide would serve as a resource to educate fire-displaced residents of potential next steps to take following a residential fire. The guide would also provide information on city, state, and federal agencies and organizations that provide aid to individuals affected or displaced by a residential fire. This bill would require FDNY to print and distribute the guide to affected residents at the scene of a residential fire and publish it on the department’s website in the designated citywide languages. Finally, the bill will require FDNY and relevant agencies to distribute the guide to individuals affected or displaced by a residential fire on location at post-fire inspections. | | |

| * | Jennifer Gutiérrez | | | Study and report on the feasibility of a low-cost and city-sponsored renter’s insurance program. | Introduction | This proposed legislation would require an office or agency designated by the Mayor to study and report on the feasibility of a low-cost, New York City-sponsored renter’s insurance program. Through this study, the office or agency would be required to explore the establishment of the program by identifying considerations such as potential funding mechanisms and types of coverage, identify the financial impact of the program on the City, and evaluate initiatives the City can undertake to implement the program, including but not limited to public-private partnerships. The office or agency would be required to report on the findings of the study to the Mayor and the Speaker of the Council no later than 1 year after the effective date of this bill. If the office or agency determines that the program is infeasible, the office or agency would have to include a statement explaining the reasons for infeasibility in the report. | | |
