New York S04108 amends the administrative code to charge owners of residential buildings the actual cost of demolition if the building is deemed unsafe due to arson. Owners must pay the demolition costs if ordered by the commissioner. The bill exempts cases where the arson was committed by the legal owner or an occupant. Owners have ten years to cure any back taxes or present liens on the property, with interest fees waived. The act takes effect immediately.
