Enactment #:
Title:
Ordinance amending Administrative Code Chapter 37 ("Residential Rent Stabilization and Arbitration
Ordinance") by renumbering existing Section 37.13 as 37.14 and renumbering existing Section 37.14
as 37.15, and by adding new Section 37.13 to provide that: each adult occupant is entitled to a
minimum of one key/key-set for the rental unit without charge; upon written request for extra keys/key-
sets stating the reason(s) (e.g., for the convenience of the occupant, such as admitting a service
provider or a delivery person or a houseguest) a landlord shall provide the requested extra keys/key-
sets unless within 14 days the landlord denies the request in writing as unreasonable (e.g., due to
unlawful occupancy or a pattern of lease violation); a request for an extra key/key-set may only be
denied for good reason; unreasonable denial of an extra key/key-set constitutes a decrease in
housing services; and, a tenant may file a petition for hearing on a disputed request for an extra
key/key-set, which shall be decided by an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), with the ALJ decision
appealable to the Rent Board.
