Section 102-06 of Chapter 100 of Title 1 of the Rules of the City of New York is being amended to clarify the provisions of the Homeowner Resolution Program that gives owners of one- and two-family homes who have not received any prior violations at the property within the past five years an opportunity to correct certain violating conditions prior to receiving a notice of violation and associated penalties.

Specifically, the proposed amendments:

• limit applicability of the program to existing buildings, excluding new construction, which must abide by strict construction safety standards;

• remove the eligibility of violating conditions that result in a Stop Work Order or a Vacate Order;

• allow for owners of properties to be assessed a re-inspection fee and issued a violation for conditions that still exist after the 60-day no-penalty grace period has passed and acceptable proof of correction has not been provided to the Department.

The reinspection fee in section 101-03 is being amended to align with proposed changes to section 102-06.
