§ 5. This local law shall take effect immediately and shall be retroactive to and shall be deemed to have been in full force and effect on and after the effective date of a state law authorizing such exemption. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions of the administrative code, any person who on the effective date of such state law would have been eligible for a rent increase exemption order pursuant to such code but for the fact that his or her income exceeded the twelve thousand twenty five dollar income limitation in effect before the enactment of this local law, and who as a result of the enactment of this local law increasing the maximum income limitation to fifteen thousand dollars is eligible as of the effective date of a state law authorizing such exemption, for such order, may file an application for such order within ninety days of the enactment of this local law, and any such order issued to such applicant shall be effective as of the effective date of such state law.
