Something odd is going on in my Rent Stabilized building where the LL never renewed the HPD registration last year. This shows up on the hpdonline website in the record for the building. There is also a class 1 violation on the NYC buildings site which is still open.
I also have not received a renewal form for the lease which is up on March 15th. I should have gotten it by now. I am wondering if the registration issue and the renewal form are connected. LL would probably lie if I asked him. Where does the renewal start from and where is it sent back to? The DHCR? I'd imagine the LL is ultimately responsible for sending out. Can't understand why he didn't re register the building unless he's trying to sell it maybe?!
If the LL does not comply with the registration what rights do we have as tenants if they try to kick everyone out with some trick?
I've made multiple calls to the HPD and DHCR but cannot reach any humans. 311 referred me to DHCR.
Thanks for any info. This board is incredibly valuable.
