12 abr 1901 año - NY Tenement House Law

Descripción:

The New York State Tenement House Act of 1901, or "New Tenement Law," was a housing reform law aimed at improving living conditions in New York's tenement buildings. Technically a tenement was any building that housed three or more families, but the term had come to mean housing for poor families that lacked proper amenities. The law set requirements for new buildings to improve light and air quality for residents, including external-facing windows in each room, an open courtyard, improved ventilation, indoor toilets, and better fire safety.
