NYC LOCAL LAW REQUIRING DISCLOSURE ABOUT THE SELECTION PROCESS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS NOT PREEMPTED BY STATE LAW AND IS NOT UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

The First Department, in a full-fledged opinion by Justice Andrias, over an extensive dissenting opinion, determined a New York City local law mandating the disclosure of information about the selection process for construction of affordable housing was not preempted by state statutes and was not unconstitutional:

Although one may reasonably argue, as does the dissent, that the disclosure requirements imposed by the law are costly, difficult or cumbersome, or that the law will not remedy corruption in the developer selection process or further the flexible and economical implementation of publicly funded housing, the wisdom, necessity or efficacy of the law is not the province of the courts… .  … [T]he only issue before us is whether Local Law No. 44 is unconstitutional because it is preempted by state statutes or violates the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the New York State Constitution. Applying well established precedent to the facts, we find that Local Law No. 44 does not unlawfully interfere with or frustrate [New York City Department of  Housing Preservation and Development (HPD)'s] authority under the City Charter or impermissibly conflict with the State Legislature's delegation of authority and discretion over affordable housing programs to HPD, and that it is not otherwise unconstitutional. New York State Assn. for Affordable Hous. v Council of the City of N.Y., 2016 NY Slip Op 04320, 1st Dept 6-2-16
