Introduced: November 2, 2023

This bill would require that any housing developer on a housing development project, which receives city assistance, pay their workers a minimum combined wage package of at least forty dollars per hour with no less than twenty five dollars of that package being wages. It would also require a best effort that at least forty percent of the hours worked on the project are worked by residents of a zip code where at least 15% of the population is below the federal poverty rate or be residents of a New York City Housing Authority development. This bill would require a public database and annual reporting on the program. The bill would give the comptroller enforcement of these requirements with the ability to levy civil penalties as well as provide for a private right of action for worker are subject to a violation of the bill.
