Section 214-A. Rent control; tax exemption  


Latest version.
  • 1.  Notwithstanding  the
      provisions of the emergency housing rent control law and the regulations
      promulgated pursuant thereto, so long  as  the  rents  for  any  housing
      accommodations in any multiple dwelling aided by a loan pursuant to this
      article  remain  subject to control by the agency, (1) the maximum rents
      for such housing accommodations shall be those prescribed by the  agency
      pursuant  to  the  provisions of this article; and (2) where the maximum
      rents for such accommodations, if the provisions of  this  article  were
      not  applicable,  would be prescribed by the provisions of the emergency
      housing rent control law and such regulations,  the  provisions  of  the
      emergency  housing  rent  control law with respect to evictions, and the
      provisions of such regulations with respect to evictions, and  no  other
      provisions   of   such   law   and  regulations,  shall  apply  to  such
      accommodations. However, upon the expiration of such rent control by the
      agency pursuant to this article, such  housing  accommodations  in  such
      dwelling, if they would have been fully subject to the provisions of the
      emergency  housing  rent  control  law  and such regulations immediately
      prior to such expiration, if not  subject  to  the  provisions  of  this
      article,  shall  again  be  subject  to  the provisions of the emergency
      housing rent control law and such regulations to the same extent and  in
      the  same  manner  as if such accommodations had not been subject to the
      provisions of this  article,  except  that  with  respect  to  any  such
      accommodations  again subject to the provisions of the emergency housing
      rent control law and such regulations,  the  maximum  rent  therefor  in
      effect  pursuant  to  the provisions of this article at the time of such
      expiration, shall be the maximum rent for such accommodations under  the
      emergency   housing   rent  control  law  and  regulations,  subject  to
      adjustment pursuant to such law and regulations, giving  due  regard  to
      all the equities.
        2.  The  municipality  may,  by  local law, provide for exemption from
      taxation of any increase in valuation resulting from  the  installation,
      alterations  or improvements performed with the aid of such loans or for
      abatement of taxation on such property, including the land, or for  both
      such  exemption  and abatement, to the same extent, for the same period,
      and under the same terms and conditions as such exemption or  abatement,
      or  both,  may  be  provided by local law enacted under the terms of any
      currently effective statute authorizing the granting of tax exemption or
      tax abatement, or both, in aid  of  the  rehabilitation,  alteration  or
      improvement  of  multiple dwellings or the elimination of unhealthful or
      dangerous conditions therein. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of
      any general, special or local law, a property aided by a  loan  pursuant
      to  this  article  shall  not  be  ineligible  for  tax exemption or tax
      abatement or both, as provided by local law enacted pursuant to statute,
      solely because such property is not subject to control  of  rents  under
      the  emergency  housing rent control law, but such tax exemption and tax
      abatement shall terminate if  and  when  such  property  is  subject  to
      control of rents neither under the emergency housing rent control law or
      this article.
