PURSUANT TO THE AUTHORITY VESTED IN IT BY THE RENT STABILIZATION LAW OF 1969,
and Chapter 576 of the Laws of 1974, as implemented
by Resolution Number 276 of 1974 of the New York City Council and
extended by Chapter 203 of the Laws of 1977, the Rent Guidelines
Board hereby establishes and adopts the following levels of fair
rent increases over lawful rents charged and paid on September
30, 1981 (including the "stabilizer" and excluding the "April
1979 fuel adjustment," if any) for dwelling units subject to the
Rent Stabilization Law of 1969, as amended, for leases commencing
on or after October 1, 1981 and through September 30, 1982.
ADJUSTMENTS FOR RENEWAL LEASES
Where heat is provided or required to be provided to a dwelling
unit by an owner from a central or individual system at no charge
to the tenant, the adjustments are as follows:
- For one year leases expiring before October 1, 1983: 10%
- For two year leases expiring before October 1, 1984: 13%
- For three year leases expiring before October 1, 1985: 16%
These adjustments shall also apply to dwelling units in a
structure subject to the partial tax exemption program under
Section 421 of the Real Property Tax Law, or in a structure
subject to Section 423 of the Real Property Tax Law as a
Redevelopment Project.
Where heat is not provided or not required to be provided to a

- For one year leases expiring before October 1, 1983: 6.5%
- For two year leases expiring before October 1, 1984: 9.5%
- For three year leases expiring before October 1, 1985: 12.5%
It is not expected that the Board will convene to discuss fuel
costs in the coming year. The Board will discuss the fuel
situation at its annual meetings in June as it affects leases
signed pursuant to this Order. The Board may also consider any
catastrophic change in the Operation and Maintenance Cost Index
and order appropriate supplementary adjustments. The Board
reserves the right to modify this Order during its term pursuant
to this paragraph provided that any further adjustments described
in this paragraph shall apply to existing leases only where the
lease permits the rental reserved therein to be adjusted pursuant
to subsequent determinations of the Rent Guidelines Board during
the term of such lease.
LEASES ON VACANT APARTMENTS
Where a dwelling unit becomes vacant, the levels of rent increase
governing a new tenancy commencing on or after October 1, 1981
and on or before September 30, 1982 are the same levels over
rentals charged on September 30, 1981 as those set forth above
for lease renewals, plus 15 per cent over the rentals charged on
September 30, 1981 on each vacancy of such unit during the
effective period of this Order.
FRACTIONAL TERMS
Except as to leases on vacant apartments, for the purpose of
these guidelines any lease or tenancy for a period up to and
including one year shall be deemed a one year lease or tenancy;
the same for a period over one year and up to and including two
years shall be deemed a two year lease; and the same for a period
over two years and up to and including three years shall be
deemed a three year lease. As to leases on vacant apartments, for
the purpose of these guidelines any lease for a period from one
year to less than two years shall be deemed a one year lease; the
same for a period from two years to less than three years shall
be deemed a two year lease; and the same for a period of three
years or more shall be deemed a three year lease.
ELECTRICAL INCLUSION ADJUSTMENT
For a lease for a dwelling unit for which the owner supplies full
electrical services for which there is no additional cost charged
to the tenant in addition to rent, the applicable lease
adjustments as established by this Order are to be 4 per cent in
addition to the adjustments for renewal and vacancy leases
heretofore stated.
ESCALATOR CLAUSES
Where a lease for a dwelling unit in effect on May 31, 1968 or
where a lease in effect on June 30, 1974 for a dwelling unit
which became subject to the Rent Stabilization Law of 1969, by
virtue of Chapter 576 of the Laws of 1974 and Resolution Number
276 of the New York City Council and extended by Chapter 203 of
the Laws of 1977, contained an escalator clause for the increased
costs of operation and such clause is still in effect, the lawful
rental on September 30, 1981, over which the fair rent under this
Order is computed shall include the increased rental, if any, due
under such clause except those charges which accrued within one
year of the commencement of the renewal lease. Moreover, where a
lease contained an escalator clause which the owner may validly
renew under the Code, unless the owner elects or has elected in
writing to delete such clause, effective no later than October 1,
1981 from the existing lease and all subsequent leases for such
dwelling unit, the increased rental, if any, due under such
escalator clause shall be offset against the amount of increase
authorized under this Order.
STABILIZER
The one-half per cent "stabilizers" charged in leases pursuant to
previous Orders of this Board shall remain in effect until the
expiration of such leases and shall be included in the base rents
for the purpose of computing subsequent rents or leases adjusted
pursuant to this Order.
SPECIAL GUIDELINE TO UPDATE SPECIAL GUIDELINE 6B
In order to aid the Conciliation and Appeals Board in determining
fair market rents for housing accommodations as to applications
for adjustments of the initial legal regulated rent as may be
requested by tenants, the Rent Guidelines Board hereby
establishes a special guideline as mandated by Section 12 of
Chapter 576 of the Laws of 1974, as extended by Chapter 203 of
the Laws of 1977, amending Section YY51-6.0.2(b)(1) of the New
York City Administrative Code: for dwelling units subject to the
Rent and Rehabilitation Law on September 30, 1980 which
subsequently become vacant after September 30, 1981 the 1980-1981
maximum base rent, as it existed or would have existed plus 20
per cent.
DECONTROLLED UNITS
The permissible increase for decontrolled units as defined in
Order 3a which become decontrolled after September 30, 1981,
shall not exceed the 1980-81 maximum base rent, as it existed or
would have existed, plus 20 per cent of such maximum base rent.
APRIL 1979 FUEL ADJUSTMENT
Any "April 1979 fuel adjustment" charged pursuant to Order 10b
shall not be included in the rent to which a lease adjustment set
forth in this Order is applied and it shall not merge with the
base rent for the purpose of computing a subsequent rent or lease
adjusted pursuant to this Order.
Any "April 1979 fuel adjustment" charged pursuant to Order 10b
shall only remain in effect for a rent or lease adjusted pursuant
to Order 10b and such charge shall be extinguished when a lease
to which it applies expires.
CREDITS
Rental charged and paid in excess of the levels of fair rent
increase established by this Order shall be fully credited
against the next month's rent.
