Are there any statutes or Rules and Regulations that require the landlord to make full disclosure of his compliance with the turnover provisions of Local Law #1, directly to a tenant outside the context of litigation?
YES. The City of New York, imposed a requirement that landlords certify in writing to new tenants that all turnover work was in fact done and completed. HPD’s implementing rules state that with respect to work at turnover of a vacant apartment, an owner shall maintain or transfer to a subsequent owner records of work performed in dwelling units pursuant to this section in accordance with the record keeping requirements of § 11-06(c). In addition, the owner must make such records available to the new occupant of the dwelling unit upon the tenant’s request.
