Prohibits temporary major capital improvement increases for buildings with a pattern of violations unless the applicant proves the improvement will.

This bill amends the emergency housing rent control law to prohibit temporary major capital improvement increases for buildings where the owner has demonstrated a pattern of violations unless the applicant shows by clear and convincing evidence that the proposed improvement will directly and substantially remedy those violations. A "pattern of violations" is defined as three or more violations issued by a municipal department within the look-back period, which is 24 months before the application filing.
