Bill Summary: A 11135 (2025-2026) – New York

Title

Relates to expanding the definition of interim multiple dwelling to provide protections for certain residents

Purpose and intent

The bill expands the current legal definition of “interim multiple dwelling” (IMD). The primary aim appears to be extending protections for residents within or associated with properties that fall under this expanded IMD category, addressing concerns over displacement, safety, and tenant protections during periods of transition or redevelopment.

Key provisions (anticipated content based on title)

Note: The summary below reflects typical elements associated with expanding IMD protections. For precise statutory language, refer to the bill text once available.

  • Expansion of IMD definition: Broadens eligibility criteria or geographic/situational scope for properties designated as interim multiple dwellings.
  • Resident protections tied to IMD status:
    • Enhanced tenant rights during the IMD designation period (e.g., notices, eviction protections, relocation assistance).
    • Safeguards against coercive displacement or excessive rent increases while a property is considered an IMD.
  • Operational and administrative rules:
    • Criteria for designating a property as an IMD (e.g., occupancy thresholds, building type, construction/renovation status).
    • Requirements for property owners or managers to maintain certain standards (habitable conditions, safety, and compliance with local housing laws) during IMD designation.
  • Oversight and enforcement:
    • Roles of housing agencies or departments in monitoring IMD properties.
    • Penalties or remedies for non-compliance with IMD-related protections.
  • Effective date and transition:
    • When the expanded IMD definition takes effect.
    • Any phased or transitional provisions for existing IMDs or pending designations.

Who would be affected

  • Residents: Individuals living in properties designated as IMDs, who would gain expanded protections during the IMD designation period.
  • Property owners and managers: Entities responsible for properties designated as IMDs, subject to additional regulatory obligations and enforcement mechanisms.
  • Housing agencies: State or city agencies involved in designation, oversight, and enforcement of IMD protections.

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Current status: As of the latest action, the bill has been REFERRED TO HOUSING (April 24, 2026).
  • Legislative path: After referral, typically moves to committee hearings, potential amendments, and floor votes in the New York Assembly. If passed, would proceed to the Senate and/or be subject to reconciliation.
  • Effective date: The bill will specify an effective date for the expanded IMD definition and associated protections, which could be immediate or phased.

Additional notes

  • The bill lists Tony Simone as a co-sponsor, indicating bipartisan or cross-party support typical for housing-stability measures.
  • Specific dollar figures, percentages, or detailed procedural steps will be clarified in the full bill text. Readers should consult the final enacted language for exact provisions, timelines, and enforcement mechanisms.
