New York bill A07225 shifts liability for illegal housing unit conversions from residents to contractors, with building owners exempt unless they.

New York bill A07225 amends the administrative code to redefine liability for illegal conversions of housing units. It specifies that the contractor performing the construction work causing an illegal conversion will be held liable for any monetary penalties, instead of the residents. An "illegal conversion" is defined as creating or modifying a housing unit without obtaining the required approval or permits from the Department of Buildings.
