Relates to requiring notice be provided to tenants prior to the beginning of work on a major capital improvement

This bill requires landlords in New York City to provide written notice to tenants before starting major capital improvements, such as essential repairs to heating, plumbing, or roofing. The legislation ensures that tenants receive clear information about any resulting temporary rent increases and the specific month when payments will begin, while prohibiting retroactive charges. By mandating this advance notification, the bill aims to give tenants adequate time to understand and respond to changes in their housing costs. The measure applies to significant building upgrades that are necessary for preservation or infrastructure, excluding routine operational expenses or cosmetic changes.
