AN ACT to amend the multiple dwelling law  and  the  multiple  residence

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Paragraphs a and b of subdivision 4 of  section  3  of  the
multiple  dwelling  law,  as amended by chapter 516 of the laws of 1983,
are amended to read as follows:
  a.  Any city, town or village may make local laws, ordinances,  resol-
utions  or  regulations not less restrictive than those provided in this
chapter and may provide for their  enforcement  by  legal  or  equitable
actions  or proceedings, OR BY ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS, and prescribe
the penalties, sanctions and remedies for violations thereof.    In  the
enforcement  and  administration  of  this  chapter  in  a city of three
hundred twenty-five thousand or more persons, the  penalties,  sanctions
and  remedies enacted by local law may be applied, notwithstanding their
inconsistency with this chapter, or the provisions of this chapter.

such  local  laws  may authorize such actions or proceedings against the
owner, lessee of a whole multiple dwelling, agent or other person having
control of such dwelling, and any  responsible  party,  or  against  the
dwelling in rem. Such local laws may further authorize (1) that civil OR
ADMINISTRATIVELY  IMPOSED  penalties  may be enforced against the person
liable therefor, and that in addition to the methods of enforcement  for
judgments established in the civil practice law and rules, a lien may be
imposed  against  the  premises  and  the rents therefrom; (2) that such
