MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)   BILL NUMBER: A2134A SPONSOR: Dinowitz
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the multiple residence law and the multiple dwelling law, in relation to requiring owners and agents of multiple residences and multiple dwellings to provide names and contact information of resi- dents to emergency personnel   PURPOSE: To ensure that emergency services are able to determine the safety of the residents of a building after a fire.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one of the bill adds § 16 to the multiple residence law to require owners or agents of multiple residences to provide emergency personnel names and contact information of affected residents in the case of an emergency. Section two of the bill adds § 15 to the multiple dwelling law to require owners or agents of multiple dwelling to provide emergency personnel names and contact information of affected residents in the case of an emergency. Section three of the bill sets the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: On August 11, 2019, a fire in a Yonkers Apartment building displaced eighty-six people displaced from their homes.- The fire caused excessive damage to the five-story building and took 60 firefighters. Luckily, no one was injured by the fire but during the blaze emergency responders were unable to determine who was safely out of the building. When emer- gency personnel contacted the building ownership to determine if every- one was safely evacuated, it was difficult to get a list of who was living in the building and their contact. In the case of an emergency, first responders are best equipped to do their job and prevent the loss of life when they are fully informed. When triaging an emergency preventing the loss of life or injury is critical but when the information required to do so is withheld this task in even more difficult. This bill seeks to help preserve the life and health of residents of multiple dwelling/residence building by enabling emergency personnel to have access to the information they need.   LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2021-22: A.10286/S.240-B - Housing / Passed Senate   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect ninety days after becoming law.
