Public Housing Law Section 616
Leasing of units owned by a housing access voucher local administrator
1.
If an eligible individual or family assisted under this article leases a dwelling unit (other than a public housing dwelling unit) that is owned by a housing access voucher local administrator administering assistance to that individual or family under this section, the commissioner shall require the unit of general local government or another entity approved by the commissioner, to make inspections required under § 613 (Inspection of units)section six hundred thirteen of this article and rent determinations required under § 614 (Rent)section six hundred fourteen of this article. The housing access voucher local administrator shall be responsible for any expenses of such inspections and determinations, subject to the appropriation of funds for this purpose.2.
For purposes of this section, the term “owned by a housing access voucher local administrator” means, with respect to a dwelling unit, that the dwelling unit is in a project that is owned by such administrator, by an entity wholly controlled by such administrator, or by a limited liability company or limited partnership in which such administrator (or an entity wholly controlled by such administrator) holds a controlling interest in the managing member or general partner. A dwelling unit shall not be deemed to be owned by a housing access voucher local administrator for purposes of this section because such administrator holds a fee interest as ground lessor in the property on which the unit is situated, holds a security interest under a mortgage or deed of trust on the unit, or holds a non-controlling interest in an entity which owns the unit or in the managing member or general partner of an entity which owns the unit. * NB Expires May 1, 2030
