Relates to a private right of action concerning sidewalk sheds

This bill allows tenants in New York City neighborhoods with over one million people to sue their landlords if the landlord keeps a sidewalk shed up without a valid permit or for more than thirty days without doing necessary repairs. It also permits lawsuits if a shed is dangerous or violates city safety codes, enabling tenants to request court orders to remove the shed and seek financial compensation or legal fees. Before filing a suit, a tenant must first notify the landlord in writing and wait thirty days, unless the landlord is acting in bad faith or fails to fix the problem. The law defines specific situations where a shed is allowed, such as when it is needed for exterior wall repairs required to prevent unsafe conditions.
