2017 New York City Apartment Management Checklist

2017 New York City Apartment Management Checklist is the definitive source of information on the myriad of complex laws that govern the management of New York City apartment buildings. In this completely updated edition for 2017, readers will find clear and comprehensive explanations of all the pertinent rules, regulations, and requirements that owners and managers need to know to stay compliant…and profitable.

Including important discussions of recent laws and forms, the 2017 NYC Apartment Management Checklist gives you access to the forms contained in this edition—as well as bonus forms—all in one place through the convenient online companion site.

Throughout the 2017 edition of the Apartment Management Checklist, the text of laws and forms relating to each chapter have been updated to reflect changes made since the last edition.

Highlights include:

• Chapter 6, Boiler Inspections & Access, discusses the mandatory DOB NOW: Inspections program for online scheduling of inspection appointments.
• Chapter 10, Cooling Tower Maintenance, covers the new state and city regulations involving the registration, operation, and maintenance of cooling towers.
• Chapter 11, Elevators, discusses new Local Law 101, which requires the Department of Buildings to refer to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development immediately hazardous elevator violations in multiple dwellings that are found after inspection to be uncorrected by the owner.
• Chapter 45, Water & Sewer Bills, discusses the legal dispute over FY 2017 Water Board rates.

In addition, New York City government web pages have been largely overhauled, providing easier access to information on various topics. Where we refer to city web pages, we’ve provided the most recent URLs available.

FREE CHAPTER: Backflow Prevention Devices (from the New York City Apartment Management Checklist 2017 Edition.)

Owners must install special plumbing devices, known as backflow prevention devices, on the main water pipes that supply their buildings. The device prevents building water from flowing back into the city’s water mains. Owners should have a licensed professional engineer or registered archi­tect submit plans to the city before installing the device, get a permit to install it from the Dept. of Buildings (DOB), get a master plumber to install it, get the device inspected and tested when first installed, and have it tested at least once a year by a state-certified backflow prevention device tester who is employed by a licensed plumber.
