Summary — S.3043 (Print S3043A)

Title: Relates to compliance by New York city marshals with filing requirement regarding service of a notice of eviction

Main purpose / intent

S.3043 is intended to strengthen compliance by New York City marshals with the statutory filing requirements that document service of eviction notices. By clarifying or reinforcing filing obligations for marshals who serve notices of eviction, the bill seeks to increase transparency and accountability in eviction enforcement and to improve recordkeeping that affects tenants, landlords and courts.

Note: the full bill text was not provided (the version content supplied is not legible), so the summary below is based on the bill title and available legislative metadata (Print S3043A). Specific statutory language, exact filing timelines, and enforcement mechanisms should be consulted in the bill text when available.

Key provisions (based on title / intent)

  • Clarifies that New York City marshals who effect service of a notice of eviction must comply with existing or newly specified filing requirements that document that service occurred.
  • Likely requires submission of proof of service (e.g., affidavit/return of service or other documentation) to a designated public office or court file in accordance with the procedures and deadlines set out in the bill.
  • May establish procedures for monitoring or enforcement of filing obligations (administrative oversight, penalties, or disciplinary measures) — exact enforcement provisions are not available in the provided materials.
  • Aims to ensure accurate records for courts, local housing agencies, and tenants regarding the service of eviction notices.

Who would be affected

  • New York City marshals (primary regulated actors) — responsible for timely and accurate filing of proof of service.
  • Tenants facing eviction — improved documentation could protect tenant rights by creating clearer evidence of proper notice and service.
  • Landlords and property managers — may experience procedural changes in eviction processing.
  • Courts, clerks, and local housing or administrative agencies — would receive and manage additional/clarified documentation; could see changes to case processing and oversight.
  • Legal service providers and tenant advocates — access to better records when defending eviction cases.
