a. All leases offered to tenants in covered multiple dwellings shall contain notice, conspicuously set forth therein, which advises tenants of the obligation of the owner of the covered multiple dwelling to inspect steam radiators in dwelling units where a child under the age of 6 resides. b. Each year for a dwelling unit for which an inspection pursuant to section 27-2056.22 did not occur in the prior calendar year, an owner of a covered multiple dwelling shall, no earlier than January 1 and no later than January 16, present to the occupant of each such dwelling unit in such multiple dwelling a notice inquiring as to whether a child under the age of 6 resides therein. Such notice shall be presented as provided for in subdivision c of this section, and shall, at minimum, be in English and Spanish. Notice given pursuant to subdivision e of section 27-2056.4 shall satisfy the requirement of notice in this subdivision. c. The owner may present the notice required by subdivision b of this section by delivering the notice by any one of the following methods: 1. By first class mail, addressed to the occupant of the dwelling unit; 2. By hand delivery to the occupant of the dwelling unit; or 3. By enclosure with the January rent bill. d. Upon receipt of such notice, the occupant shall have the responsibility to deliver by February 15 of that year, a written response to the owner indicating whether or not a child under the age of 6 resides therein. If, subsequent to the delivery of such notice, the owner does not receive such written response by February 15, and does not otherwise have actual knowledge as to whether a child under the age of 6 resides therein, the owner shall notify the department of that circumstance no later than March 1 of that year. e. An owner who fails to present notice in accordance with this section shall be liable for a civil penalty of not more than $500. (L.L. 2025/151, 11/8/2025, eff. 5/7/2026)
