Sec. 50. Entrance halls.
Every entrance hall in every multiple dwelling erected after
April eighteenth, nineteen hundred twenty-nine, shall be at least
four feet in clear width from the entrance to the first stair,
and beyond that shall be at least three feet eight inches in
clear width. If such an entrance hall is the only entrance to
more than one flight of stairs, the required width of such hall
shall be increased in every part, for each such additional flight
of stairs, by one-half the width required for one flight of
stairs.
Sec. 50-a. Entrances: doors, locks and intercommunication
systems.
1. Every entrance from the street, passageway, court, yard,
cellar, or similar entrance to a class A multiple dwelling
erected or converted after January first, nineteen hundred
sixty-eight, except an entrance leading to the main entrance
hall or lobby which main entrance hall or lobby is equipped
with one or more automatic self-locking doors, shall be
equipped with automatic self-closing and self-locking doors
and such doors shall be locked at all times except when an
attendant shall actually be on duty. Every entrance from the
roof to such a dwelling shall be equipped with a self-
closing door which shall not be self-locking and which shall
be fastened on the inside with movable bolts, hooks or a
lock which does not require a key to open from inside the
dwelling.
2. Every class A multiple dwelling erected or converted after
January first, nineteen hundred sixty-eight containing eight
or more apartments shall also be equipped with an
intercommunication system. Such intercommunication system
shall be located at an automatic self-locking door giving
public access to the main entrance hall or lobby of said
multiple dwelling and shall consist of a device or devices
for voice communication between the occupant of each
apartment and a person outside said door to the main
entrance hall or lobby and to permit such apartment occupant
to release the locking mechanism of said door from the
apartment.
3. On or after January first, nineteen hundred sixty-nine,
every class A multiple dwelling erected or converted prior
to January first, nineteen hundred sixty-eight, shall be
equipped with automatic self-closing and self-locking doors,
which doors shall be kept locked except when an attendant
shall actually be on duty, and with the intercommunication
system described in paragraph two of this section, provided
that tenants occupying a majority of all the apartments
within the structure comprising the multiple dwelling
affected request or consent in writing to the installation
of such doors and intercommunication system on forms which
shall be prescribed by the department, except that in the
event a majority of tenants in occupancy request or consent
on or after January first, nineteen hundred sixty-eight, to
the installation of such doors or intercommunication system
such installation shall be started within ninety days, but
need not be completed until six months after the owner's
receipt of requests or consents by a majority of the
tenants, except that in any such multiple dwelling owned or
operated by a municipal housing authority organized pursuant
to article thirteen of the public housing law, such
installation need not be completed until one year after the
owner's receipt of requests or consents by a majority of the
tenants. If the dwelling is subject to regulation and
control of its residential rents pursuant to the local
emergency housing rent control act, the local city housing
rent agency shall upon the filing of executed forms
containing the required requests or consents, prescribe the
terms under which the costs of providing such doors and
intercommunication systems may be recovered by the owner
from the tenants. In any multiple dwelling built pursuant to
the provisions of the redevelopment companies law in which
residential rents are limited by contract, the costs of
providing such doors and intercommunication systems may be
recovered by the owner from the tenants. The terms under
which such costs may be recovered shall be the same as those
prescribed by the local city housing rent agency in the city
in which the multiple dwelling is located for dwellings
subject to regulation and control of rent pursuant to the
local emergency housing rent control act. Such costs shall
not be deemed to be "rent" as that term is limited and
defined in the contract.
4. All such self-closing and self-locking doors, and
intercommunication systems shall be of a type approved by
the department and by such other department as may be
prescribed by law and shall be installed and maintained in a
manner prescribed by the department and by such other
department.
5. Every owner who shall fail to install and maintain the
equipment required by this section, in the manner prescribed
by the department, and by such other department as may be
prescribed by law, and any person who shall wilfully
destroy, damage, or jam or otherwise interfere with the
proper operation of, or remove, without justification, such
equipment or any part thereof shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor as provided in subdivision one of section three
hundred four of the multiple dwelling law and shall be
punishable as provided therein.
