Ordinance amending Administrative Code Chapter 37 “Residential Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance” by amending Section 37.13 “Keys” to provide that: the landlord must provide additional keys/key-sets within fourteen (14) days of a tenant’s written request unless the landlord denies the request in writing within that time period (the current ordinance does not set a deadline for providing the additional keys/key-sets), and failure to respond within the fourteen days constitutes a substantial decrease in housing services; the landlord may charge only for documented replication costs and may not require other charges or deposits or terms or conditions of any kind, and imposing such other terms or conditions constitutes a substantial decrease in housing services; a tenant’s petition to the Rent Board to decide a disputed request may include a failure to respond within fourteen days, or a disagreement regarding terms or conditions for the additional keys/key-sets; and, unreasonable denial of additional keys/key-sets also constitutes a “substantial" decrease in housing services (the word “substantial” is new in this provision).
