          assessments for public housing authorities

          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section 1. Section 37 of the public housing law is amended by adding a
     2  new subdivision 3-a to read as follows:
     3    3-a. (a) An authority shall file in the office of the commissioner and
     4  with the temporary president of the senate and the speaker of the assem-
     5  bly a physical needs assessment. Each authority shall file the  physical
     6  needs assessment every five years.
     7    (b)  For purposes of this section, a "physical needs assessment" shall
     8  mean a standard operating procedure for real estate management  consist-
     9  ing of a periodic examination and evaluation of real estate to determine
    10  a  long-term  schedule and cost for replacement of major property compo-
    11  nents. The physical needs assessment shall provide data to evaluate  the
    12  viability  of  the  real estate to continue serving its intended purpose
    13  into the future. The physical needs assessment shall be deemed a founda-
    14  tional document which may be useful for a number of real estate  manage-
    15  ment  functions,  including: determining a replacement reserve schedule;
    16  developing preventative maintenance plans; performing due  diligence  at
    17  sale, purchase, or financing; marketing and repositioning strategy plan-
    18  ning; budgeting; and obtaining or providing grant support.
