New York A00156 amends the multiple dwelling law to restrict information gathered by smart access systems. It defines "smart access system" and "user" and requires owners to provide non-electronic entry methods if requested. It mandates that smart access systems include backup power and alternative entry methods. The bill prohibits the collection of biometric data and likenesses of minors, and limits data collection to account information and reference data. It requires owners to notify tenants of these provisions and provide keys at no cost.
