Section 1. Article 504 of chapter 5 of title 28 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as amended by a local law of the city of New York amending the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to foldable bicycle access in passenger elevators, as proposed in introduction number 405-A, is amended by adding new sections 28-504.5 and 28-504.6 to read as follows:
� 28-504.5 Bicycle access to residential buildings. In any building the main use or dominant occupancy of which is classified as occupancy group R-2 it shall be unlawful for an owner to bar a tenant or subtenant from using a passenger elevator to transport a bicycle to and from such tenant's or subtenant's dwelling unit.
Exceptions:
1. An owner may bar tenants or subtenants from utilizing passenger elevators to transport bicycles where (i) a freight elevator is provided for bicycle access to and from such tenants' or subtenants' dwelling units, provided that passenger elevators may be used during any period of time such freight elevator is not operating and (ii) there is no requirement that building personnel escort such tenants or subtenants when using the freight elevator.
