New York A06574 allows tenants to sue landlords in cities with a population of one million or more over sidewalk sheds.

New York A06574 creates a private right of action for tenants against landlords in cities with a population of one million or more over sidewalk sheds. Tenants can sue for injunctive relief and damages if the landlord maintains a sidewalk shed without an active permit, keeps it for over thirty days without work, makes it perilous, or fails to maintain it properly. Tenants must notify the landlord of the alleged violation before suing and cannot sue if the landlord corrects the issue. The act defines "covered repairs" and "sidewalk shed" and takes effect ninety days after becoming law.
