In any city of over one million which, by local law,  requires  the   registration  of  owners  of  multiple  dwellings  and  which prescribes   penalties, remedies, and sanctions to be imposed for  the  violation  of   such  local registration requirements, no rent shall be recovered by the   owner of a multiple dwelling who fails to comply with such  registration   requirements  until he complies with such requirements. If a resident of   an unregistered dwelling voluntarily pays rent or an installment of rent   when he had a right to withhold the  same  under  this  subdivision,  he   shall  not  thereafter have any claim or cause of action to recover back   the rent or installment of rent so paid. A voluntary payment within  the   meaning  of  this subdivision means payment other than one made pursuant   to judgment in an action or special proceeding.
