NYC L.L. 2012/006 In relation to a child fatality review advisory team

L.L. 2012/006 Enactment date: 2/16/2012 Int. No. 751-A By Council Members Arroyo, Palma, Cabrera, Comrie, Fidler, James, Koslowitz, Mark-Viverito, Mendez, Vacca, Williams, Gonzalez, Vann, Rodriguez, Eugene, Rose, Levin, Dromm, Recchia, Chin, Koo, Van Bramer, Jackson, Ferreras, Koppell, Mealy, Barron, Crowley and Garodnick A Local Law to amend local law number 115 for the year 2005, relating to child fatalities, in relation to a child fatality review advisory team. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The Child Fatality Review Advisory Team, created by Local Law 115 of 2005, conducts a comprehensive, multiagency and multidisciplinary review of all child deaths in New York City. Their work highlights trends and patterns regarding how and why children die in New York City, and helps the City create policies and take actions to prevent other such deaths and improve the health and safety of New York City's children. Local Law 115, by its own terms, was deemed repealed on January 30, 2012. The Council finds that this review must occur at the City level to ensure that the characteristics of child protection that are unique to a large urban area such as New York City are appropriately identified and addressed. The Child Fatality Review Advisory Team promotes cooperation and communication among the various City agencies involved in investigating child fatalities and facilitates the provision of services needed by children and families. Therefore, the Council finds that making permanent the New York City Child Fatality Review Advisory Team is necessary to identify preventable social and family circumstances that contribute to child fatalities; provide recommendations regarding the investigation and prevention of child deaths; and identify problems in practices and recommend solutions. § 2. Section 4 of local law no. 115 for the year 2005 is amended to read as follows: § 4. This local law shall take effect ninety days after its enactment into law [and shall be deemed repealed on January 30, 2012]. § 3. This local law shall take effect immediately and shall be deemed to have been in full force and effect on and after January 30, 2012.

NYC L.L. 2012/007 In relation to requiring such department to track and report deaths of homeless persons in the city of New York

L.L. 2012/007 Enactment date: 2/16/2012 Int. No. 753-A By Council Members Palma, Brewer, Cabrera, Chin, Comrie Jr., Crowley, Dickens, Dromm, Fidler, James, Koslowitz, Lander, Levin, Mark-Viverito, Mendez, Vacca, Williams, Wills, Gonzalez, Vann, Rodriguez, Eugene, Rose, Arroyo, Recchia, Van Bramer, Jackson, Ferreras, Lappin, Koppell, Mealy, Barron, Garodnick and Sanders Jr. A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York and local law number 63 for the year 2005, relating to tracking and reporting by the department of health and mental hygiene, in relation to requiring such department to track and report deaths of homeless persons in the city of New York. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. In 2005, at the time Local Law 63 was enacted, Department of Homeless Services (DHS) reports indicated that there were approximately 35,000 people living in the shelter system. According to DHS data from December 2011, nearly 40,000 homeless men, women and children were residing in the shelter system, including approximately 17,000 children. Furthermore, according to DHS's most recent estimate, as of January 2011 more than 2,600 people were unsheltered. Prior to the enactment of Local Law 63, the City did not report how many deaths occur within the homeless population, where they occur, or the causes behind them. Local Law 63, by its own terms, was deemed repealed on January 30, 2012. The Council finds that in order to meet the needs of homeless New Yorkers, whose numbers have increased in recent years, the City needs to extend existing legislation requiring the periodic gathering of information regarding deaths of homeless people. Tracking and reporting these deaths helps the City better understand the challenges faced by homeless persons in New York City, and assists in the creation of policies and programs designed to safeguard such persons and prevent future unnecessary deaths. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. Section 4 of local law number 63 for the year 2005 is amended to read as follows: § 4. Effective date. This local law shall take effect immediately after its enactment into law [and shall be deemed repealed on January 30, 2012]. § 4. This local law shall take effect immediately and shall be deemed to have been in full force and effect on and after January 30, 2012.

No. 29-A By Council Members Brewer, Fidler, Gentile, Gonzalez, James, Lander, Palma, Nelson, Lappin, Dromm, Garodnick, Reyna, Mealy, Vann, Jackson, Levin, Cabrera, Gennaro, Williams, Van Bramer, Rodriguez, Halloran and the Public Advocate (Mr. de Blasio) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to publishing open data. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The council hereby finds and declares that it is in the best interest of New York city that its agencies and departments make their data available online using open standards. Making city data available online using open standards will make the operation of city government more transparent, effective and accountable to the public. It will streamline intra-governmental and inter-governmental communication and interoperability, permit the public to assist in identifying efficient solutions for government, promote innovative strategies for social progress, and create economic opportunities. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect immediately.

NYC L.L. 2012/024 In relation to requiring the department of environmental protection to undertake an assessment of the electricity generation capability of the city's water …

L.L. 2012/024 Enactment date: 5/1/2012 Int. No. 534-A By Council Members Gennaro, Barron, Brewer, Cabrera, Fidler, James, Koppell, Koslowitz, Lander, Palma, Seabrook, Van Bramer, Vann, Williams, Mark-Viverito, Levin, Nelson, Koo, Lappin, Rodriguez, Garodnick, Rivera, Greenfield, Vacca, Vallone, Jackson, Eugene and Halloran A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring the department of environmental protection to undertake an assessment of the electricity generation capability of the city's water supply and wastewater treatment systems and bodies of water within the city's jurisdiction. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The Council finds that the City of New York has a substantial interest in determining the inherent power generation potential of the City's water systems. The City's water supply system, a wonder of modern-day engineering, relies nearly entirely on gravity to transport water from our upstate reservoirs to the City. This means of delivery has the potential to generate energy in a manner that does not harm water quality or interfere with water distribution. A system that harnesses this water flow may provide the City with emissions-free energy, which would reduce the City's greenhouse gas emissions-as the City is obliged to do under Local Law No. 22 for the year 2008, the New York City Climate Protection Act. Power generated by our water supply system would not require costly and environmentally-damaging dams to be constructed; instead, it may be possible, subject to operational and economic considerations, to take advantage of existing infrastructure by utilizing hydropower technologies to capture energy and potentially achieve cost savings. Accordingly, the Council finds that it is in the best interests of the City to study the potential to generate clean energy using hydropower from our water supply and wastewater treatment infrastructure systems, as well as the bodies of water within the City's jurisdiction. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect immediately.

NYC L.L. 2012/027 In relation to establishing a prevailing wage requirement for building service employees in city leased or financially assisted facilities

L.L. 2012/027 Enactment date: 5/15/2012 Int. No. 18-A By Council Members Mark-Viverito, Barron, Brewer, Cabrera, Dromm, Eugene, Ferreras, Foster, Gonzalez, Jackson, James, Koppell, Koslowitz, Lander, Mendez, Palma, Reyna, Sanders Jr., Van Bramer, Williams, Vann, Chin, Arroyo, Rose, Rodriguez, Rivera, Gennaro, Lappin, Dickens, Mealy, Gentile, Crowley, Vacca, Seabrook, Garodnick, Comrie, Levin, Ulrich and the Public Advocate (Mr. de Blasio) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York in relation to establishing a prevailing wage requirement for building service employees in city leased or financially assisted facilities. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The Council finds that the City, as a promoter of economic development, commits significant resources, including millions of dollars in subsidies and incentives, for development projects across the city. Further, as a tenant, the City spends millions of tax dollars each year leasing space for City agencies from private landlords. Building service work has traditionally been a gateway to the middle class for New York City residents, particularly for immigrants. The Council is concerned, however, that in some cases, those who benefit from city leases or economic development incentives do not ensure that the building service employees they employ or utilize receive the prevailing wage. This failure has the potential to destabilize neighborhoods and to undermine the City's middle class tax base. The intention of the Council in enacting this section is to ensure that funding provided, in whole or part, by the City is not used to this effect. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect in one hundred eighty days.

NYC L.L. 2012/028 In relation to sun control devices

L.L. 2012/028 Enactment date: 5/16/2012 Int. No. 340-A By Council Members Dilan, Brewer, Cabrera, Chin, Comrie, Fidler, Garodnick, Gonzalez, James, Koppell, Koslowitz, Lander, Mark-Viverito, Palma, Vann, Williams, Rodriguez, Van Bramer, Jackson, Dromm, Gennaro, Barron, Eugene, Levin and Halloran A Local Law to amend the New York city building code, in relation to sun control devices. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Statement of findings and purpose. Sun control devices help combat heat gain and prevent glare, decreasing the energy needed to cool a building. Presently, the New York city building code permits these shading devices to project a maximum of 10 inches beyond the street line of a building, thus limiting their effectiveness. This bill would increase the maximum allowable projection of a sun control device beyond the street line of a building to 2 feet 6 inches, in alignment with proposed revisions to the zoning resolution of the city of New York, in order to expand the effectiveness of such sun control device. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 11. This local law shall take effect on July 1, 2012.

This local law shall take effect 120 days after its enactment into law and shall apply to contracts and subcontracts for which bids or proposals are first solicited after such effective date; provided, however, that the commissioner of investigation and the city's chief procurement officer shall take such measures as are necessary for its implementation, including the promulgation of rules, prior to such effective date.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. This bill shall be known and may be cited as the "Whistleblower Protection Expansion Act." * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3.

This local law shall take effect 90 days after it shall have been enacted into law, and shall apply to claims filed or presented prior to, on or after such date[, and shall remain in effect until the first day of June, 2012 when it shall be deemed repealed; provided, however, that such expiration date shall not apply to any civil enforcement action brought pursuant to section 7-804 of the administrative code of the city of New York that was commenced prior to such date but has not by such date reached a final disposition]. § 5. This local law shall take effect immediately upon enactment and shall apply to claims filed or presented prior to, on or after such enactment date; provided, however, that section 4 of this local law shall be deemed to be in force and effect on and after June 1, 2012.

Notwithstanding any provision of chapter 8 of title 11 of the administrative code of the city of New York to the contrary, any person required to pay the tax imposed under chapter 8 of title 11 of such code with respect to a medallion taxicab, who had been required to pay such tax to the taxi and limousine commission pursuant to section 11-809.2 of such code, as added by local law number 73 for the year 2011, and as in effect prior to the amendments made by the local law that added this section, but has not paid such tax to the taxi and limousine commission, shall file the return required pursuant to section 11-807 of such code and pay the installment of such tax required to be paid pursuant to subdivision c of section 11-808 of such code to the commissioner of finance no later than the later of the thirtieth day after this act shall have become a law or July 20, 2012. § 6.

NYC L.L. 2012/036 In relation to using a vehicle licensed by the taxi and limousine commission to facilitate sex trafficking

L.L. 2012/036 Enactment date: 6/22/2012 Int. No. 725-A By Council Members Ferreras, Vacca, Barron, Brewer, Cabrera, Comrie, Dickens, Fidler, Foster, James, Koslowitz, Lander, Levin, Mark-Viverito, Palma, Recchia, Reyna, Rose, Sanders Jr., Van Bramer, Williams, Wills, Jackson, Lappin, Vallone, Rodriguez, Dromm, Garodnick, Chin, Arroyo, Koppell, Koo, Gennaro, Mealy and Ulrich A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to using a vehicle licensed by the taxi and limousine commission to facilitate sex trafficking. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative Intent. The Council finds that sex trafficking is a problem in New York City, and that some drivers in the City, including some who are licensed by the Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC), knowingly use TLC licensed vehicles to facilitate sex trafficking. More specifically, some drivers knowingly engage in a business of transporting individuals to patrons for purposes of prostitution, procuring and/or soliciting patrons for the prostitution, and receiving proceeds from such business in collaboration with traffickers and pimps. It is therefore necessary to combat this activity by establishing penalties against those who are misusing TLC licenses in this manner and by requiring those who hold or are obtaining TLC licenses to become informed about the laws governing sex trafficking and promoting prostitution. It is not the Council's intent to penalize TLC-licensed drivers for lawfully accepting a fare or for failing to investigate illegal activities that may be occurring within their vehicle without their knowledge. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 5. This local law shall take effect ninety days after its enactment into law, except that the taxi and limousine commission shall take all necessary action, including the promulgation of rules, prior to such effective date.

NYC L.L. 2012/039 In relation to the waiver of public employee organizations' rights when submitting grievances to arbitration under the New York city collective bargaining law

L.L. 2012/039 Enactment date: 6/28/2012 Int. No. 658-A By Council Members Sanders, James, Williams, Lappin, Seabrook, Gennaro, Barron, Jackson, Eugene, Lander, Levin, Mealy, Mark-Viverito and Ulrich A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the waiver of public employee organizations' rights when submitting grievances to arbitration under the New York city collective bargaining law. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The Council hereby finds that recent litigation has resulted in a judicial decision which holds that, when a public employee organization files a waiver to submit a grievance to arbitration pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement which the organization has with a public employer, the public employee organization waives its right to bring other administrative or judicial actions to address alleged violations of other statutes or rights not contained in the collective bargaining agreement. The Council finds that such a result is contrary to the New York City Office of Collective Bargaining's longstanding interpretation of the local law. The Council further finds that such a result unfairly prejudices the City's public employee organizations and the members they represent and that no similar waiver requirement exists in the New York State Taylor Law. Legislation is therefore necessary to rectify this disparity, in order to clarify that a public employee organization waives only its right to submit an alleged contractual dispute under the collective bargaining agreement and no other right when it submits a grievance to arbitration at the New York City Office of Collective Bargaining. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect immediately.

NYC L.L. 2012/041 In relation to bringing it up to date with the 2009 edition of the international plumbing code, with differences that reflect the unique character of the city

No. 807-A By Council Members Dilan, Eugene, Gonzalez, Koo, Seabrook, Williams, Jackson, Rodriguez, Dromm, Lappin and Gennaro (by request of the Mayor) A Local Law to amend the New York city plumbing code, in relation to bringing it up to date with the 2009 edition of the international plumbing code, with differences that reflect the unique character of the city. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative intent. This local law implements section 28-601.1 of the administrative code, which requires triennial updates of the New York city plumbing code to reflect changes in the International Plumbing Code. These amendments will bring the New York city plumbing code up to date with the 2009 International Plumbing Code published by the International Code Council, with differences to accommodate the unique nature of construction in the City. The local law is divided into parts from A through O with each part comprising amendments to a separate chapter or appendix of the code in separately numbered sections within the part. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 2. Notwithstanding any other law or rule tables, figures or equations in graphic or PDF format to be added to the New York city plumbing code pursuant to this local law need not be underlined to denote new matter being added. The absence of underlining to denote new matter being added shall not affect the validity of such tables, figures or equations. § 3. This local law shall take effect on the same date as the effective date of a local law amending the administrative code of the city of New York in relation to bringing the New York city building code up to date with the 2009 edition of the International Building Code published by the International Code Council.

NYC L.L. 2012/042 In relation to the New York city panel on climate change and the New York city climate change adaptation task force

L.L. 2012/042 Enactment date: 9/22/2012 Int. No. 834-A By Council Members Gennaro, Brewer, Fidler, Gonzalez, James, Koppell, Koslowitz, Lander, Levin, Palma, Rose, Wills, Rodriguez, Dromm, Lappin, Jackson, Williams, Chin, Greenfield, Sanders Jr. and Vacca A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the New York city panel on climate change and the New York city climate change adaptation task force. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The Council finds that, in order prepare for and mitigate the expected impact of climate change on New York City's communities, vulnerable populations, public health, natural systems, critical infrastructure, buildings and the economy, to help fulfill the goals of PlaNYC 2030, and to augment the New York City Climate Protection Act, Local Law No. 22 for the year 2008, the New York City Panel on Climate Change and the New York City Climate Change Adaptation Task Force should be institutionalized. The Council also finds that climate scientists project that temperatures, sea levels and some extreme weather events will increase dramatically in the coming decades. The Council further finds that many of these variables could have a significant effect on New York City's future and that identifying and gauging these variables could help the City prepare an intelligent response to climate change. Therefore, the Council finds that it is in the best interests of the City to institutionalize and regularly convene the New York City Panel on Climate Change and the New York City Climate Change Adaptation Task Force, for the purpose of advising the City on climate change projections and adaptation. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect one hundred eighty days after enactment, except that that the mayor shall take all actions necessary for its implementation, including the appointment of panel and task force members, prior to such effective date.

This local law shall become effective immediately and shall be deemed to have been in full force and effect on September 21, 2011; provided, however, that the amendments made to section 17-804 of the administrative code of the city of New York by section one of this local law shall become effective thirty days after the enactment of this local law.

NYC L.L. 2012/045 In relation to fines for illegal conversions of dwelling units from permanent residences

L.L. 2012/045 Enactment date: 10/2/2012 Int. No. 404-A By Council Members Brewer, Cabrera, Foster, Gentile, Koppell, Lappin, Palma, Reyna, Williams, Rodriguez, Dromm, Mealy, Mendez, Mark-Viverito, Rivera, Jackson, Dickens, Garodnick, Vann, Lander, James, Chin, Barron, Gennaro and Koo A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to fines for illegal conversions of dwelling units from permanent residences. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative Findings and Intent. The Council finds that apartments within residential buildings have been converted to uses contrary to their intended purpose, most notably as short-stay hotel rooms, particularly in certain neighborhoods. These practices occur despite existing prohibitions in the City's Zoning Resolution and Administrative Code which creates significant health and safety concerns for occupants of illegally converted apartments within residential buildings and for other residents of these buildings. Furthermore, selected initial findings from the 2011 Housing and Vacancy Survey found a citywide rental vacancy rate of 3.12% which constitutes a ground for a "declaration of emergency" in terms of the lack of available apartments (Section 3 of Chapter 576 of the Laws of 1974 authorizing the extension of rent regulation). The Council also finds that the use of apartments for purposes such as short-stay hotel rooms drives down the already extremely limited supply of housing, including rent-regulated apartments, and places additional pressures on an extremely tight rental market. Moreover, this illegal practice denies permanent tenants the quiet enjoyment of their homes. While the Council recognizes that the use of property for purposes such as legal hotels and their related businesses are a significant sector of New York City's economy and provide wages and benefits to a large number of workers in New York City, there is an equally strong recognition of the need to discourage illegal conversions and thereby maintain needed rental apartments for permanent tenants. This legislation will increase fines for those who illegally convert residential units and buildings. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 4. This local law shall take effect sixty days after its enactment, except that the commissioner of buildings shall take such measures as are necessary for its implementation, including the promulgation of rules, prior to such effective date.

NYC L.L. 2012/060 In relation to requiring newly constructed multi-family residences to provide adequate space to store and sort designated recyclable material

L.L. 2012/060 Enactment date: 12/20/2012 Int. No. 575-A By Council Members Garodnick, Chin, Dromm, Fidler, Foster, James, Koppell, Lander, Mark-Viverito, Mendez, Palma, Rose, Williams, Koo, Rodriguez, Lappin, Gentile, Van Bramer, Jackson, Brewer, Barron and Gennaro A Local Law to amend the New York city building code, in relation to requiring newly constructed multi-family residences to provide adequate space to store and sort designated recyclable material. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. Recycling is good for the environment because it takes less energy and fewer resources to make new products out of recycled materials than from new materials. It also has the potential to save the city money as the cost of exporting waste to out-of-state landfills rises. At least 50% of New York's total waste stream (and 15% of residential waste) is currently recycled. Other large cities have exceeded this rate, and the City has set a goal of diverting 75% of solid waste from landfills. One barrier to increasing recycling rates in multi-family residential buildings is that many lack a dedicated room or exterior space to store and sort recyclables and waste. Without this dedicated space, it is challenging for residents or superintendents to keep recyclables separated from refuse. For this reason, many other cities and the Battery Park City Authority require that residential buildings provide a waste/recycling room for storing separated recyclables. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 4. This local law shall take effect January 1, 2014.
