The bill proposes to add a new implied warranty to the general business law in New York. This warranty would require builders to ensure that homes are free from mold caused by defective workmanship within ten years of the warranty date. Additionally, the bill would require builders to ensure that plumbing, electrical, heating, cooling, and ventilation systems are free from defects due to improper installation within two years of the warranty date. The home would also be free from material defects six years after the warranty date. The new warranty would take effect immediately.
