After getting the rental history of my building and meeting with a non-profit tenant group, I filed an Administrative Determination of my Legal rent. The rent went from $385/month in 2003 (former rent stabilized tenant) to $2100 (just over the dereg threshold in 2003)... needless to say, there was not over $100,000 put into it, and I've been overpaying ever since. Also, there were 2 separate registrations for my one building (same DoB number) and fraud of previous tenants with their names spelled slightly differently or reversed. I sent all this documentation along with a notarized letter and forms describing all the nitty gritty details and testimonies from previous tenants.
I looked up the case status and it was received and is now actively being processed since April 28th 2016. This is past the time frame mentioned on the DHCR documents (2-6 months, or more). So being that Im in the "or more" period is there anyone who knows how long that could be? I've been told 5 years by some people, which I'm hoping isn't the norm
