The legislation establishes a comprehensive regulatory structure for this new technology, and guarantees every tenant the right to a traditional method of entry. It also ensures that tenants cannot be required to share volumes of personal data as a condition of their tenancy with their landlord or third parties.

"When faced with these new systems of building access, I share my constituents concerns around surveillance, data collection, and security, especially in rent regulated units. For seniors and individuals with disabilities, keyless building entry systems can create hurdles for them to simply access their own homes. We need to take all of these concerns seriously and protect the privacy and personal data of tenants throughout the state of New York," said State Senator Velmanette Montgomery.

New York City building owners are moving away from mechanical keys, opting instead to install various digital-access alternatives, ranging from key fobs, phone applications and technology that use facial and biometric systems. The Latch company claims that its technology is already installed in thousands of New York City buildings. It further boasts that one in every ten new buildings in the United States is installing Latch.

The technology companies promise convenience and security, particularly in buildings that do not have a full-time door attendant. Despite the convenience, however, the technology allows the company and building owners to track and log the every move of building residents, their guests and their minor children. Information collected via the system is not explicitly protected against sale or sharing with third parties or building owners, who can and have used the information against their tenants.

The legislation introduced ensures that tenants consent to the use of keyless building entry systems, puts strict limitations on the type of data that can be collected, stored and shared. The legislation was introduced in the wake of an outcry from tenants of a rental building on West 45th street a Latch entry system was installed, and use was mandated by building manage.

State Senator Velmanette Montgomery is the Chair of Children and Families. She represents the 25th Senatorial district which includes the Bedford Stuyvesant, Fort Greene, and Boerum Hill neighborhoods of Brooklyn.
