Includes temporarily erected structures in the definition of substandard or insanitary area
This bill amends New York State law to explicitly include "temporarily erected structures" (such as scaffolding) in the legal definition of a "substandard or insanitary area." The change expands the scope of areas eligible for urban renewal programs by adding these temporary structures to the list of qualifying conditions alongside blighted neighborhoods, deteriorated properties, and infrastructure. This allows local governments to address safety or blight concerns related to temporary construction sites as part of broader urban renewal efforts. The bill directly affects cities and towns implementing urban renewal programs under state law.
