I requested by DHCR rent history, and I'm having trouble figuring out if my apartment is rent stabilized or not. When I signed the lease several months ago, the realtor mentioned that the effective rate would apply "for the stabilization" which led me to suspect it might be, but the lease clearly states NOT RENT STABILIZED at the top.
In the DHCR history, the apartment is listed as RS in the "Apt Stat" column from 1984 to 2014. In 2014 the rent was around 1400. It also seems like the apartment was renovated around that time--it has a relatively up to date bathroom and kitchen, finished wood floors, washer/dryer, and dishwasher.
From 2015 on, the registration apartment information says "*REG NOT FOUND FOR SUBJECT PREMISES*". Does this mean it is stabilized or not? Should there be a "D" appended to the end of a registration year to show the "Vacancy Decontrol Registration" somewhere? (Not sure exactly what that is, got it from the first page of this document)
It is my understanding that the renovations could have pushed the rent over a certain amount but I'm having trouble figuring out what exactly that threshold amount is and how much would have to have been spent on the renovations in the year 2014/2015.
Thanks for any info you can provide!
