NYC Rent Stabilization Code (1987)
[19 NYCRR Parts 2520-2530.1]*
* Statutory authority: N.Y.C. Admin. Code, 26-511(b), 26-518(a).
The Rent Stabilization Code (RSC) is issued by the New York State
Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) and is a
codification of the laws and procedures of the Rent Stabilization Law (RSL).
Since 1969, Rent Stabilization has gradually replaced
Rent Control as the rent regulatory scheme applicable to most
regulated apartments in New York City.
Further refinements, poliicies and interpretations of the RSC are found
in DHCR Policy Statements,
DHCR Advisory Opinions
and DHCR Operational Bulletins.
The 1993 changes to the RSL have been implemented through Policy
Statements rather than amendments to the code -- a method that has
raised much concern since the agency is avoiding the required rule
making process (See the NYS State Administrative Procedures Act [SAPA]).
Every attempt has been made to conform to the original document;
TenantNet makes no representation
the enclosed material is current or will be applied as written.
The reader is advised that DHCR often fails to properly apply,
interpret or enforce housing laws. Since housing laws are
complex and often contradictory, it is recommended the reader
obtain competent legal advice from a tenant attorney or
counseling from a tenant association or community group.
