NYC Rent Transparency Posting Law

The New York City Council passed a new local law (Int. 1037-A) requiring landlords of buildings with rent-stabilized apartments to install a mandatory notice in the building’s common area. This law is meant to improve transparency for tenants and ensure owners comply with DHCR filing requirements.

1. Who Must Comply

This law applies to any multiple dwelling (3+ units) that contains at least one rent-stabilized apartment.

If the building has even one rent-stabilized unit, the notice must be posted.

2. What Must Be Posted

Landlords must post a DHCR Rent Stabilization Notice at the building entrance in a conspicuous location, containing the following required information:

• A statement that the building contains rent-stabilized units
• Instructions for tenants on how to check if their individual unit is registered
• DHCR Office of Rent Administration phone number
• DHCR website address for rent-stabilization inquiries
• A note that owners must file annual DHCR rent registrations and provide tenants the corresponding information
• A warning that owners may face penalties for failing to file

The sign must be:

• In English and Spanish
• Include a link for the notice in all designated NYC languages

The city may later update the sign if DHCR or relevant agencies change.

3. Additional Requirement for HPD

Before the law becomes active, HPD (Housing Preservation & Development) must establish an agreement with DHCR to access data confirming whether a building contains rent-stabilized units.
This allows HPD to enforce the posting requirement.

4. Penalties for Non-Compliance

Owners who fail to post the required sign will be subject to civil penalties under NYC Admin Code §27-2115(a) (the same enforcement structure as other HPD violations).

5. Effective Date

• The posting requirement becomes law 210 days after enactment.
• The HPD–DHCR data-sharing agreement section takes effect immediately.
