2006 New York Code - Notification; Lease Notification.

 
    § 25-322. Notification; lease notification. a. Upon designation by the
  commission  of  any  improvement  or  property  as a landmark and of any
  landmark site, interior landmark or historic district, or any  amendment
  of  such designation, the owner of such improvement or property shall be
  notified in writing of such designation by the commission.  Such  notice
  shall  be  sent to the owner or owners at his or her or their last known
  address or addresses, as the same appear in the records of the office of
  the commissioner of finance or if there is no name in such records, such
  notice may be sent to the street address of the  improvement  parcel  or
  property   in  question,  addressed  to  "Owner".  The  failure  by  the
  commission to give notice of designation as required by this subdivision
  shall not invalidate or affect any actions or  proceedings  pursuant  to
  this  chapter  relating  to  such improvement parcel or property, except
  that no action or proceeding pursuant to subparagraph d of this  section
  shall be commenced until thirty days after such notice has been given.
    b.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  owner or person in charge of an
  improvement or property that is a  landmark,  interior  landmark  or  is
  located on a landmark site or within an historic district to ensure that
  every  lease  or sublease, or renewal thereof, between the owner or such
  other person in charge as lessor and a nonresidential tenant  as  lessee
  and  concerning  such  improvement  or  property shall contain a notice,
  conspicuously  set  forth  therein,  stating  that  in  accordance  with
  sections  25-305,  25-306,  25-309  or 25-310 of this chapter the lessee
  must obtain a permit from the commission before commencing any  exterior
  or  interior  work  on  the improvement or property, except for ordinary
  repair and maintenance as that term  is  defined  in  subdivision  r  of
  section  25-302  of  this  chapter.  When  an improvement or property is
  designated a landmark, interior landmark  or  as  part  of  an  historic
  district  during  the term of a lease or sublease of all or a portion of
  such improvement or property, the  lessor  of  such  lease  or  sublease
  shall,  within  thirty  days  after  being  notified  in writing of such
  designation by the commission or a person  in  charge,  send  a  written
  notice  as described above to all nonresidential lessees of such lessor.
  Such notice shall be  sent  by  certified  or  registered  mail,  return
  receipt  requested to all nonresidential lessees on the first two floors
  of the  improvement  or  property,  and  shall  be  sent  to  all  other
  nonresidential  lessees  by any means reasonably designed to ensure that
  notice is given.
    c. The commission  shall  promulgate  such  regulations  as  it  deems
  necessary to comply with the provisions of this section, with respect to
  notice requirements in all nonresidential leases for buildings under its
  jurisdiction.
    d.  Any  person  who  violates  subdivision  b of this section, or the
  regulations promulgated hereunder, shall be subject to a  civil  penalty
  of  not  more  than  five  hundred  dollars per violation which shall be
  returnable to the environmental control board.
