Legislative Update-Criminal Background Searches Materially Curtailed

We are pleased to announce that our partner, Geoffrey Mazel, Esq., has recently written an article that was published on the front page of the January edition of the Queens Bar Bulletin regarding the recent passage of Intro 632 by the New York City Council. The intended effect of this bill is to severely limit property owners, including Cooperative Boards, from performing criminal background checks on prospective buyers and rental tenants.

 

We encourage you to read this article and if you have any questions or concerns regarding this legislation, please feel free to contact us. Of course, you are always welcome to contact us with any questions you may have concerning your Co-op/Condo.
