Maddy summaryThis bill repeals specific rent calculation rules in New York City's administrative code. It removes paragraphs 3 and 4 of section 26-405, which previously used a "maximum gross building rental formula" to set maximum base rents for certain buildings.

Maddy summaryThis bill extends the time tenants have to respond to applications for major capital improvement rent increases in New York City from 60 to 90 days after receiving notice.

The key change modifies multiple sections of city housing law to replace "sixty" with "ninety" days in the timeline for tenant responses. The bill does not alter rent calculation methods or approval criteria, only the response window for tenants. This is a procedural adjustment to provide tenants with additional time to address such applications.
