N.Y. Public Housing Law § 616: Leasing of units owned by a housing access voucher local administrator

* § 616. Leasing of units owned by a housing access voucher local

administrator. 1. If an eligible individual or family assisted under

this article leases a dwelling unit (other than a public housing

dwelling unit) that is owned by a housing access voucher local

administrator administering assistance to that individual or family

under this section, the commissioner shall require the unit of general

local government or another entity approved by the commissioner, to make

inspections required under section six hundred thirteen of this article

and rent determinations required under section six hundred fourteen of

this article. The housing access voucher local administrator shall be

responsible for any expenses of such inspections and determinations,

subject to the appropriation of funds for this purpose.

2. For purposes of this section, the term "owned by a housing access

voucher local administrator" means, with respect to a dwelling unit,

that the dwelling unit is in a project that is owned by such

administrator, by an entity wholly controlled by such administrator, or

by a limited liability company or limited partnership in which such

administrator (or an entity wholly controlled by such administrator)

holds a controlling interest in the managing member or general partner.

A dwelling unit shall not be deemed to be owned by a housing access

voucher local administrator for purposes of this section because such

administrator holds a fee interest as ground lessor in the property on

which the unit is situated, holds a security interest under a mortgage

or deed of trust on the unit, or holds a non-controlling interest in an

entity which owns the unit or in the managing member or general partner

of an entity which owns the unit.
