The City Council is reviewing two bills on illegal occupancy. Intro. 240 would allow DOB to issue violations based on circumstantial evidence such as multiple doorbells or mailboxes. Intro. 368 would force DOB to go to court to get a warrant for access in most cases where there was a complaint of illegal occupancy and the occupants didn’t let an inspector in. ABO pointed out flaws in both approaches and suggested that the City create a simpler mechanism for owners to get access to inspect and enforce codes without having to bring a holdover.
The City Economic Development Corporation has issued an RFP for development of an industrial facility at Hunts Point in the Bronx.
