Directs the public service commission to notify local community boards in large cities before considering land sales by utility companies.

The bill amends the public service law to require the public service commission to notify the appropriate local community board in cities with a population of one million or more about any proposed sale or acquisition of real property by a gas or electric corporation. The commission must send this notice by certified mail within ten days of receiving an application for approval. The community board has thirty days to submit written comments and recommendations to the commission, which must address these submissions before making a decision on the application.
