Yes RESOLUTION NO. 2024-178 – ACCEPT THE VACANCY SURVEY REPORT CONDUCTED BY THE VILLAGE ADMINISTRATOR, RELATING TO THE EMERGENCY TENANT PROTECTION ACT’S DECLARATION OF HOUSING EMERGENCY The following resolution was offered by Trustee Riobe-Taylor, seconded by Trustee Jean-Gilles. WHEREAS, Chapter 5, entitled “Emergency Tenant Protection Act of Nineteen Seventy- Four”, of Title 23, of the Unconsolidated Laws of the State of New York (hereinafter “ETPA”), and §8623(a) therein, empower the Village Board of Trustees (“Village Board”), as the local legislative body of the Village of Nyack (“Village”), to conduct a survey or study to determine, on the basis of the supply of rental housing accommodations within the Village, the condition of such accommodations and the need for regulating and controlling residential rent amounts within the Village, whether or not a declaration of housing emergency may be made as to any class of rental housing accommodations where the vacancy rate for the housing accommodations, in such class, is not in excess of five percent. WHEREAS, over the past 16 months (or longer), the Village Board has regularly, and consistently, heard from Village residents, both during Village Board meetings and, separately and individually, outside of meetings (including on social media), that (i) there has been an increase in unwarranted, and/or excessive, rent amounts; (ii) there is an acute shortage of rental housing accommodations caused by continued high demand and limited supply; (iii) there are a substantial number of persons residing in rental housing, not presently benefitting from (for example) “Section 8” or State subsidies, who are being charged excessive and/or unwarranted rents or rental amount increases; and (iv) there are low to middle income residents, who have lived in the Village for many years, who may need to relocate outside of the Village due to inability to afford higher rental payments. Page 5 of 13  WHEREAS, the Village Board requested that the Village Administrator conduct a vacancy survey/study of rental housing accommodations in buildings constructed, or substantially rehabilitated as residential units, prior to January 1, 1974, and which contain at least 12 dwelling units or apartments (“vacancy survey/study”), and to report back to the Village Board whether or not the vacancy rate, for this class of rental housing accommodations, is not in excess of five percent. WHEREAS, the Village Administrator, utilizing his “Questionnaire: Village of Nyack ETPA Vacancy Survey/Study (September 2024)” – hereinafter “survey questionnaire” – with his explanatory letter that was the preamble to the survey questionnaire, completed the aforesaid vacancy survey/study and has submitted same to the Village Board, and has explained his methodology, procedure and process to the Village Board. The Village Administrator’s vacancy survey/study, and his survey questionnaire (with its preamble letter), are appended hereto and made a part hereof – the vacancy survey/study is marked as “NYACK RENTAL VACANCY SURVEY REPORT,” dated November 6, 2024. WHEREAS, the owner or manager of one property, the Nyack Housing Authority, which is within the class of the surveyed rental housing accommodations, despite several phone calls and email reminders by the Village Administrator, did not return its response to the survey questionnaire by the deadline; therefore, this property, as per ETPA §8623(f), was recorded as having zero vacancies. WHEREAS, the results of the vacancy survey/study indicate a vacancy rate in excess of 7% for the class of the surveyed rental housing accommodations, rendering the Village to be ineligible, at this time, to declare a housing emergency, as contemplated by ETPA §8623(a), which law requires documentation substantiating a vacancy rate less than 5% to qualify for a declaration of a rental housing emergency. WHEREAS, the Village Board finds that its acceptance of the vacancy survey/study, as constituting information or data collection, and/or conducting of research or a survey, and/or the adoption of procedures in connection with the vacancy survey/study, is a Type II Action, as per §617.5(c)(24) and/or (33) of the Regulations of the State Environmental Quality Review Act (“SEQRA”), which, as a Type II Action, is exempt from, and not subject to, environmental review under SEQRA. NOW, THEREFORE, based on all the documentation and information before, and testimony heard by, the Village Board, and the findings and determinations made herein; BE IT RESOLVED that the Village Board hereby accepts the Village Administrator’s vacancy survey/study, appended hereto as “NYACK RENTAL VACANCY SURVEY REPORT,” dated November 6, 2024, and as same may have been amended “by-hand” during the meeting; and Page 6 of 13  BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Village Board, at this time, is not declaring a housing emergency, as contemplated by ETPA §8623(a), which declaration, if any, will be determined, if at all, after the Village Board holds a Public Hearing on this matter.
