This bill amends New York City's administrative code to define illegal conversions of dwelling units as a form of harassment. It specifically adds two new provisions: (1) illegally subdividing rooms, moving walls, or relocating buildings without legal permission, and (2) occupying units that violate multiple dwelling laws. These changes directly affect landlords who make unauthorized apartment conversions and tenants experiencing such violations. The law would allow tenants to pursue harassment claims against landlords who violate housing regulations through improper conversions. The bill is currently pending in the Housing Committee.
