2021 New York Laws MHA - Municipal Housing Authority (Article 5 of the former State Housing Law) Article 5 - Municipal Housing Authorities 69 - Acquisition of Property.

* §  69.  Acquisition of property. 1. When an authority has determined   that unsanitary or substandard housing conditions exist in a section  or   sections  of the municipality, it may secure options on real property in   such areas or  elsewhere.  No  authority  may  purchase  or  condemn  or   obligate   itself  to  purchase  or  condemn  real  property  except  in   connection with a project approved, if a federal project, by the federal   government, or if a non-federal project, by the mayor, and  in  case  of   counties,  by  the  county  executive,  and  by  the  comptroller of the   municipality. But an  authority  may  purchase  or  obligate  itself  to   purchase  specific  real  property  for  proposed projects prior to such   approval if such purchase is consented to  in  writing  by  the  federal   government in the case of a proposed federal project, or by the mayor or   county  executive  and  the  comptroller  in  the  case  of  a  proposed   non-federal project. An authority may, with the approval of the  federal   government,  lease  or acquire by purchase, eminent domain or otherwise,   any property, real or personal, which it  may  deem  necessary  for  any   project  or  housing  plan or undertaking of the federal government, and   may, upon such terms and conditions as it may deem  advisable,  with  or   without  consideration, lease, transfer, assign, convey, or deliver such   property or possession thereof to such government.2.  In  connection  with  projects  located  within  their  respective   territorial  boundaries,  a  municipality  or  government may, upon such   terms, with or without consideration, as it may deem  advisable,  grant,   sell,  convey  or  lease  any  of  its  property to an authority or to a   government, or render services or provide and maintain parks, sewage, or   other facilities  adjacent  to  or  in  connection  with  a  project.  A   municipality  may  enter  into  an  agreement  with  an  authority  or a   government, upon such terms as it  shall  determine,  with  or  without   compensation,  to  open,  pave,  install,  close  or change the grade of   streets, roads, roadways, alleys, sidewalks, or other places, to  change   the  municipal  map,  to plan, replan, zone of rezone any section of the   municipality.  In  connection  with  the  exercise  of  this   power   a   municipality may, if it deems advisable, incur the entire expense of any   such  public  improvements  located  within  its  territorial boundaries   without  assessment  against  abutting  property  owners.  Any  statute,   charter,  local  law  or  ordinance to the contrary notwithstanding, any   grant, sale, conveyance or lease  may  be  made  by  a  municipality  or   government  to an authority or government, in connection with a project,   without appraisal, public notice, advertisement or public bidding. * NB The text of Article 5 of the  former  State  Housing  Law  (cited   herein  as  the  "Municipal  Housing  Authorities Law"), as such article   existed immediately prior to its  repeal  pursuant  to  section  227  of   Chapter  808 of the Laws of 1939, is provided here for ease of reference   and historical purposes as such text continues to be applicable for  the   New  York  City  Housing Authority pursuant to the provisions of section   401 of the current Public Housing Law.
