A 3357 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to discrimination against owners of specific breeds of dog

This bill prohibits landlords and public housing authorities from denying occupancy or evicting tenants solely because they own a dog of a specific breed, size, or weight. It applies to both private apartment buildings and public housing projects, ensuring that lease restrictions cannot be based on the dog's breed alone. However, the law allows property owners to continue enforcing reasonable rules regarding dangerous dogs or general pet policies that apply to all animals regardless of breed. The legislation took effect immediately upon enactment.
