A07876 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A7876A
 
SPONSOR: Carroll
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the real property law, in relation to requiring disclo- sure of information concerning flood insurance on residential leases   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section One of the bill creates a new Section 231-b of the Real Property Law that requires residential leases to provide notice of the flood risk and flood history of a leased premises, as well as a notice to tenants of flood insurance available to renters. Section Two of the bill provides the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: This bill would establish a flood risk "right to know" for renters. The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) currently gives New York's flood risk disclosure law a failing grade in part because New York's flood disclosure laws only apply to sales of residential real property, meaning that renters are not receiving adequate disclosures about the flood risks and history of the units they lease. Recent storms, like Hurricanes Ida and Henri, caused damage to thousands of apartments and extensive damage to the personal property of rental households. Robust flood disclosure is a necessary tool for protecting New Yorkers on the frontline of climate change. Vulnerable communities have repeatedly expressed concerns regarding the growing costs of flood damage in their homes, but renters from low-income communities experi- encing repeated flood events are often never warned about the risks they face when moving into a new home. Flood disclosure meets the fundamental goal of providing awareness and transparency for all residents, irre- spective of income. Studies have shown that knowing the level of one's risk helps change patterns of behavior related to flood insurance, increasing uptake of up to 15 percent or more.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: S.8439 of 2020 (Hoylman): Died in Judiciary   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: To be determined.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after it shall have become a law.
