I am new tenant and my current rent is $3300. Tenant pays for heat, hot water, and gas. Laundry in building. I did not received a rent-stabilized rider when I signed the lease nor was I told my apartment is rent-stabilized. I found out my doing my own research.
Does the rent history look normal? I called HCR and they told me they don't know why the rent went from $2700 to $3400. I will have to file an overcharge complaint in order for them to investigate. Does $3300 seem like the legal rent ?
If I calculated rent based on the RGB:
2008: RS - $2350
2009: RS-V $2200
2010: RS - $2200 - Based on RGB: 3% -$2266
2011: RS - $2290 - Based on RGB: 2.25% -$2316
2012: RS - $2350 - Based on RGB: 3.75% -$2402
2013: RS - $2450 - Based on RGB: 2% - $2450
2014: RS - $2600 - Based on RGB: 4% - $2548
2015: RS - $2700 - Based on RGB: 1% - $2574
2016: RS -V $2700 Based on RGB: vacancy bonus 20%
2017: RS - $3400 - Based on RGB: vacancy bonus 20% - $3089
2018: RS - $3400 - Based on RGB:0% - $3089 (2 year lease)
2019: RS - $4054 - Based on RGB: 1.5% - $3135
2020: RS - $4824 - Based on RGB: 0%
2021: RS - $4897 - Based on RGB: 0% - $3135
There's no reporting for 2021-2022. The apartment was vacant when I signed the lease.
Between 2019 - 2020; they added a wall and turned the living room into a room without closet. It was initially a 3bedroom apartment but now advertised as 4 bedroom.
