Defendant Common Council of the City of Albany enacted City of Albany Local Law F of 2021 (hereinafter Local Law F) to address the negative impacts of no-cause eviction on public health. Local Law F § 1 added § 30-323 to the Code of the City of Albany, which requires landlords to present the most recent residential occupancy permit during an eviction proceeding. In addition, Local Law F § 2 added §§ 30-324 through 30-331 to the Code of the City of Albany, which require landlords to provide a good cause beyond the mere termination of a lease before they can evict a tenant. Plaintiffs, who are all landlords owning residential rental property within the boundaries of defendant City of Albany, commenced this action alleging, as relevant here, that Local Law F was preempted by conflict with various New York laws, including Real Property Law article 7 and RPAPL article 7, and seeking a judgment declaring Local Law F null and void. Plaintiffs further alleged that Local Law F was an invalid exercise of the City's police powers and municipal authority, a taking in violation of the US and NY Constitutions and a violation of the Contract Clause of the US Constitution. After defendants answered, plaintiffs moved for summary judgment declaring Local Law F null and void, and defendants cross-moved for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. Supreme Court found that the Code of the City of Albany §§ 30-327 and 30-328 were preempted by conflict with RPAPL 711 (1) and Real Property Law §§ 226-c and 228. Consequently, the court granted plaintiffs' motion, declared Local Law F null and void and denied defendants' cross-motion. Defendants appeal.
