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." It directly affects urban renewal programs by expanding the types of areas eligible for redevelopment under these programs. The key mechanism adds these temporary structures to the list of features that can qualify an area as "blighted" or having a "blighting influence," allowing redevelopment efforts to address such structures. This change enables cities to include temporary structures in broader urban renewal initiatives aimed at eliminating blighting conditions.
