State rent registration for stabilized apartments

Who: Buildings with rent-stabilized apartments
When: April 1 to July 31, every year
What: The rent of each stabilized apartment as of April 1

What the state requires

New York State Homes and Community Renewal says that between April 1 and July 31 of every year, owners of rent-stabilized buildings must submit a registration for each of their stabilized apartments to its Office of Rent Administration. The registration reflects the building, the apartments and the lawful rent as of April 1 of that year.

If it is late

The state says registrations submitted after the deadline are considered delinquent.
