* § 576-c. Loans to housing development companies by a municipality. 1. In addition to the powers granted to municipalities pursuant to this article, a municipality, acting by its supervising agency, may make loans for the purposes of acquisition, rehabilitation or construction of dwelling accommodations to a non-profit housing development fund company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of such company, a partnership the controlling interest of which is held by such company and which has agreed to limit profits or rate of return of investors in accordance with a formula established or approved by the company, or a private developer which has agreed to limit profits or rate of return of investors in accordance with a formula established or approved by the company, which agrees to provide housing accommodations exclusively for persons and families of low income, at least thirty percent of whom are referred to it by a municipality and have prior to their initial occupancy in such accommodations resided in emergency shelter facilities operated by or on behalf of the municipality or who are otherwise in need of emergency shelter as determined by the municipality, providing, however, that in the case of a building acquired by such a company, subsidiary, partnership, or developer the obligation to provide housing accommodations for such persons shall be applicable only to dwelling accommodations which are or become vacant after the date of acquisition. Such loans may be made for such period of time and pursuant to such terms and conditions as may be required by the municipality, and the supervising agency of such municipality may provide that the amount of the note and mortgage shall automatically be reduced to zero in five equal decrements commencing on the tenth year after the initial occupancy date, provided that, as of the date of such reduction, such accommodations have been and continue to be owned and operated in a manner consistent with an agreement with the municipality contained in such note and mortgage to provide housing for such persons. Notwithstanding such provision as contained in the note and mortgage, the loan shall be reduced to zero only if, prior to or simultaneously with delivery of such note and mortgage, the supervising agency made a written determination that such reduction would be necessary to ensure the continued affordability or economic viability of such housing project. Such written determination shall document the basis upon which the loan was determined to be eligible for evaporation. 2. Notwithstanding the provisions of, or any regulation promulgated pursuant to, the emergency housing rent control law, the local emergency housing rent control act, the emergency tenant protection act of nineteen seventy-four, or any local law enacted pursuant thereto, upon completion of the rehabilitation of any building used primarily for residential purposes, in a jurisdiction in which rents are regulated pursuant to any of the above laws and which is aided by a loan pursuant to this section made by the municipality, the supervising agency shall establish the initial rent for each rental dwelling unit within the building. All dwelling units within the building subsequent to establishment of initial rents by the supervising agency shall be subject to either the rent stabilization law of nineteen hundred sixty-nine or the emergency tenant protection act of nineteen seventy-four, or both, if applicable to the locality. The tenants in occupancy of such a dwelling unit regulated pursuant to any of the above laws shall be offered a choice of a one or two year lease at the initial rents established by the supervising agency notwithstanding any contrary provisions of, or regulations adopted pursuant to, the rent stabilization law of nineteen hundred sixty-nine and the emergency tenant protection act of nineteen seventy-four. The supervising agency shall cause all tenants in occupancy of each dwelling unit affected bythe provisions of this subdivision to be notified of and have an opportunity to comment on the contemplated rehabilitation. Such notification shall advise such tenants of the approximate expected rent increase and the subsequent availability of a one or two year lease. Such notification and opportunity to comment shall be provided before the rehabilitation and again after the construction is completed and before the establishment of the initial rents. 3. The supervising agency shall use its best efforts to ensure that activities carried out pursuant to this article are structured so as to minimize the likelihood of any involuntary economic displacement of tenants who reside in multiple dwellings which are the subject of such activities. However, if temporary physical displacement is required as a direct result of rehabilitation work which is performed in such multiple dwelling receiving a loan pursuant to this article, suitable temporary relocation arrangements shall be provided. * NB Effective until July 1, 2014 * § 576-c.
