PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
NYC Rent Transparency Act Sign – Aluminum Wall Frame (8.5 x 11)
Ensure full compliance with New York City’s Rent Transparency Act (Intro 1037-A) using this professional-grade aluminum sign frame, designed specifically for HPD-required rent-stabilization notices.
This front-loading aluminum wall frame securely displays the mandatory bilingual (English and Spanish) Rent Transparency Act notice while allowing fast, tool-free document replacement if HPD, DHCR, or the City updates the required language.
PRODUCT FEATURES
• Size: 8.5 x 11 inches (HPD-standard notice size)
• Material: Commercial-grade aluminum frame
• Mounting: Wall-mounted (hardware included)
• Loading Style: Front-load design for quick document changes
• Finish: Silver aluminum with clear protective cover
• Use Case: NYC buildings with one or more rent-stabilized units
DESIGNED FOR NYC COMPLIANCE
While the Rent Transparency Act focuses on content, New York City housing and building codes require that mandatory notices be durable, protected, and permanently mounted.
This aluminum frame meets those expectations by:
• Providing durable, long-lasting construction
• Protecting printed notices behind a clear tamper-resistant cover
• Supporting permanent installation in lobbies, vestibules, or mailbox areas
• Allowing immediate replacement if HPD or DHCR revises signage language
IDEAL PLACEMENT
• Building lobby or entrance vestibule
• Near centralized mailboxes (recommended by HPD)
• Mounted approximately 48 to 62 inches above the floor for visibility and accessibility
WHY THIS FRAME MATTERS
HPD inspections increasingly cite missing, damaged, or outdated notices. This frame helps owners and managing agents:
• Avoid civil penalties
• Maintain continuous compliance
• Update signage instantly without reinstalling hardware
LEGAL CONTEXT (RECOMMENDED FOR LISTING)
While the Rent Transparency Act primarily governs what information must be displayed, New York City housing regulations require that mandatory notices be durable, protected, and permanently affixed in a conspicuous common area. Using an aluminum frame with a protective cover helps satisfy HPD durability and permanence expectations.
