Host Mark Levine, of NYC property management company EBMG LLC goes over Intro. 1120-A, also known as "The Timing Bill". Although Mayor Adams vetoed this before leaving office, the NYC Council overrode the veto and this is now LAW.

Follow me on TikTok! @markinrealestate

Timing to watch out for: Applications that are received by the Agent or the Board have 45 days to be reviewed and a response has to be placed in writing. If there are additional materials to be submitted for review, the clock will stop and then start again once the materials are submitted. The Purchaser can also reach out once the 45 days are over and if there is no response within 10-days from that point, then the application is deemed to be approved.

This will have considerable impact on how management companies and boards oversee their internal application process, interview protocols and approvals and all parties have to ensure that applications being reviewed are done so in accordance with law and avoid any discriminatory practices (as usual).

Our firm will be building out an internal software package specifically to track and monitor all applications that will come into our office to ensure compliance.

If you're interested in attending our February 22, 2026 10amEST zoom session on financials, please feel free to email us at nycrealestatepodcast@gmail.com and we will send you the invite.

Find Mark now on TIkTok @markinrealestate

Among other parts,\ the new law gives adjoining property owners (the person seeking access, or the “licensee”) the right to seek court intervention if a property owner (the person granting access, or the “licensor”) refuses to grant access or does not respond to multiple notices seeking access within sixty days. The prospective licensor also must identify its tenants so that the prospective licensee can join them in the litigation if necessary.
