landlords Object To Proposed Rent Law Children's Shows tck ind as U- u\y Pf of iu FREEPORT * Following a pub lic healing held Monday evening, November 23, on the enactment of a rent permit law for the Vil lage of Freeport, the village’s B ^ rd of Trustees rescued its decision. Richard Socolov; owner of an apartment house in Freeport and chairman of the Apartment House Owners Council of .the Long Island Builders Institute, and his attorney, Alan Manning Miller, were the only two to speak before the Board about the pro posed ordinance. U enacted, the law w'ould replace one previously promul^ted and then found unconstitutional in the courts. According to David Lovejoy, the village’s Superintendent of Buildings, the prime reason for the o^inance is to insure \decent sanitary housing in all rental units\ in the village. The lawwould mandate that land lords obtain periodic rental per mits, for which they would be charged a fee, for each of their Socolov. however, claimed that, according to conversations he had had with Mayor William White, the village's main purpose in passing a rent permit law was to stop illegal over-occupancies. While sympathizing with that goal, Sorolov told the Board of Trustees they could achieve the same results without requiring a permit and pointed to legislation passed by the Village of Great Neck plaza. In hat municipality which, according to Socolov has many more apartment units than Freeport, only a certified report is apparently required. One of the primary objections raised by MUler and Socolov to the proposed Freeport ordinance,. was apparently their concern at having a landlord \swear’’ to conditions within each unit of which he himself might not be. aware. Miller pointed out that a pre vious court decision had shown that landlords have no more right than anyone else to enter a ten ant's apartment, but. under the village’s proposed law, landlords would have to \swear\ to condi tions in each rental unit. With the fine structure set up as it is, a landlord could be hit with an accumulating daily fine of $250 per diem per violation, even when he was unaware that it existed. Miller, who represented the landlords in their previous suc cessful court battles against the rent permit law, claimed that under existing law a building in spector can go into a building any time he feels there is a violation. Any \public\ part of the build ing, such as the basement, oil burner room, stair wells, etc., is always open to his inspection, said Miller, and individual apart ment units can be inspected at the invitation of (he tenant or by ob taining a warrant, if a violation is suspected. One of the landlords' main objections, according to. their arguments, appeared to be the permit fee. As Miller put It, \If you want to find out about over- occupancies. it could be done in a less onerous way and the landlord doesn't have to pay for it. ’’ The Board reserved decision, with White explaining that a less stringent law could be imple mented without a further public hearing.
