How to tell if your building is rent stabilized: In general, stabilized buildings: Contain 6 or more units; Were built before 1974; Are not co-ops or condos; In addition, for your apartment to be stabilized it must: Have had a rent of less than $2,000, if you initially moved into the apartment in 1993 or later. There are many exceptions to these rules. The only way to know FOR SURE if your apartment is (or should be) rent stabilized is to contact the NY State Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR), the state agency which administers the rent laws. You can reach DHCR by calling their InfoLine at 718-739-6400 or contact your local DHCR office.

TAXCODE
421a or J-51: Buildings which are listed as "421-a" or "j-51" are stabilized because they took advantage of the 421-a or J-51 tax exemption program. These buildings remain rent stabilized for the length of the tax exemption, and thereafter may be deregulated if the buildings were not stabilized prior to the participation in the tax exemption program.
