  Section  1.  Section  282-a  of the multiple dwelling law, as added by
chapter 147 of the laws of 2010, is amended to read as follows:
  S 282-a. Limitation on applications for coverage of  interim  multiple
dwellings and residential units. 1. All applications for registration as
an  interim multiple dwelling or for coverage of residential units under
this article shall be filed with the loft board within six months  after

which applications may be filed.  Notwithstanding any other provision of
this article, after such date no further applications  for  registration
or  coverage  as an interim multiple dwelling or for coverage under this
article shall be accepted for owners  or  occupants  of  buildings  that
would  otherwise  qualify  as interim multiple dwellings or for coverage
pursuant to this article.
