421-a Enforcement and Compliance + NYC Property Tax Rates Set for 2022/23

June 16, 2022

We have been made aware that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has commenced enforcement actions against property owners who have not submitted their required Annual Rent Registrations. Enforcement actions include suspension and/or revocation of 421-a benefits. Correction of these concerns typically require partial repayment of the benefit during the noncompliant period and an extension of the rent stabilization term. It is absolutely imperative that you continue to file the annual Rent Registrations here: NYS Homes & Community Renewal - Single Signon.
