New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 9 - EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT › Subtitle C - Division of the Budget › Part 137 - Employee Maintenance Policy And Charge Schedule › Section 137.1 - Living quarters rates

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
Fair values of living quarters are established according to
				  location, type, size and quality of accommodations. Agencies are responsible
				  for applying location and quality classifications as defined in this section.
				  However, classifications which have been previously established shall not be
				  revised without prior approval of the Director of the Budget. Exceptions to
				  this section are made only by the Director of the Budget.
(a)
Location classifications.
Rents vary depending in part on the location of the
				  residence. The four location classifications to be used in computing rents are
				  defined as follows:
Metropolitan
-
New York City and all residences and State properties
							 classified as urban/suburban within Rockland, Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk
							 Counties.
Urban/Suburban
-
residences located in or within 10 miles of communities
							 with over 50,000 population, as determined by the latest Federal census.
Town/Village
-
residences in or within 10 miles of communities with
							 50,000 population or less, as determined by the latest Federal census.
Rural
-
residences located more than 10 miles from any
							 community.
(b)
Quality ratings.
Rents also depend in part on their quality. Residential
				  quality is identified by one of the following four classifications:
Quality
								rating
Definition
Excellent
The residence provides privacy and comfortable living
							 in all major respects.
Good
The residence has some limitations on privacy or
							 provides comfortable living in most major respects.
Fair
The residence has substantial limitations on privacy or
							 fails to provide comfortable living in only some respects.
Poor
The residence lacks a minimal amount of privacy or
							 fails to provide comfortable living in most major respects.
The location of a residence is not considered in determining
				  the quality rating as it affects the privacy of the occupants.
(c)
Monthly room rates.
(1) By applying the location classification
				determined in accordance with subdivision (a) of this section, and the quality
				rating determined in accordance with subdivision (b), the monthly room rate for
				a particular residence can be obtained from the following table:

				  heat and utilities.
