Legislation for the expansion of the Alternative Enforcement Program (AEP) under the NYC Safe Housing Act was introduced at City Hall on Tuesday. The current law highlights 200 of the city’s worst multiple dwelling buildings with severe violations, and forces owners to bring them up to code.
Council Speaker Christine Quinn and NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) Commissioner Rafael Cestero announced proposed changes to the law to include asthma triggers, such as mold and vermin infestations, and to encompass more than twice as many units.
