Enactment #:
Title:
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).
