纽约市议会通过社区购房机会法：部分房产上市须先给非营利机构90天优先购买期
纽约市议会10月22日（周四）通过住房法案《社区购房机会法》（Community Opportunity to Purchase Act，简称COPA）。该法案要求部分房产卖家在将房产推向公开市场前等待90天，让“社区土地信托”等非营利机构获得独家优先购买机会。
据《纽约邮报》报道，该法案由布鲁克林市议员Sandy Nurse今年早些时候重新提出，是此前版本的大幅缩水版：适用建筑预计不到2100栋，且多为市房屋保护与发展局（HPD）已在管理的楼宇，旧版覆盖超过1万栋。前市长Eric Adams在卸任前曾否决旧版法案。90天期限过后，业主仍可将房产放到公开市场出售。
此前强烈反对旧版的纽约房地产委员会（REBNY）这次转而支持。REBNY主席James Whelan表示，议长Julie Menin与Nurse议员的调整让法案“更有针对性、更具可操作性”。皇后区共和党市议员Joann Ariola此前称原版提案是“对私有地产所有权的攻击”。法案仍需市长签署才能生效。（GSM 据《纽约邮报》报道）
NYC Council Passes COPA: Some Owners Must Give Nonprofits a 90-Day First Shot at Buying
The New York City Council on Thursday, October 22, passed the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act, known as COPA. The bill requires some property sellers to wait 90 days before putting a property on the open market, giving community land trusts and other nonprofits an exclusive first shot at buying it.
According to the New York Post, the bill was reintroduced earlier this year by Brooklyn Council Member Sandy Nurse and is a sharply scaled-back version of a prior proposal: it is expected to affect under 2,100 buildings, most already managed by the city's Department of Housing Preservation and Development, rather than the more than 10,000 covered before. Former Mayor Eric Adams vetoed the earlier version on his way out of office. After the 90 days, owners may still sell on the open market.
The Real Estate Board of New York, a fierce opponent of the prior bill, supports this version. REBNY President James Whelan credited Speaker Julie Menin and Council Member Nurse with producing a more targeted and practical bill. Queens Republican Council Member Joann Ariola had called the original proposal an attack on private real-estate ownership. The bill still needs the mayor's signature to become law.
