S.4361

Amends rent receivership statute to mandate court appointment of receiver for buildings with severe code violations.

Amends the rent receivership statute to require the court to appoint a receiver for buildings that endanger tenant health or safety due to severe code violations. The court must appoint a receiver if the building has persistent violations for at least 90 days or a pattern of recurrent violations. The receiver manages the building and uses tenant rent deposits for repairs. The court may dismiss complaints if violations are minor or tenants are in default. The owner remains responsible for taxes and liens.
