Why this matters
The cost of a missed deadline compounds quickly.
A single late filing can freeze rents, trigger audits and create overcharge exposure that follows the building for years.
Loss of rent increases
Late or missing registrations forfeit your right to collect lawful guideline and IAI/MCI increases.
DHCR penalties
Statutory fines, frozen rents and mandated corrective filings — all retroactive.
Overcharge exposure
Tenants can pursue treble damages on overcharges traced to non-compliant rent histories.
Compliance violations
HPD and DHCR violations stack on the building record and complicate refinancing and sale.
