What building types are in Bed-Stuy, and what do they mean for owners?
- Two- to four-family brownstones. The most common building sold here. If you live in one of the units, we can manage just the rented apartments. Older boilers and roofs need checks before heat season.
- Walk-up buildings. Six or more units built before 1974 can contain rent-stabilized apartments.
- Newer rental buildings. Many have 421-a benefits; check the regulatory agreement before setting rents.
Rules that apply to Bed-Stuy rentals
- Rent stabilization: buildings with six or more apartments built before 1974, and many buildings that received the 421-a tax break, can contain rent-stabilized units. Stabilized units are registered with HCR each year between April 1 and July 31. Check before you set a rent.
- Local Law 97 sets carbon limits for most buildings over 25,000 square feet (NYC Department of Buildings). Most rowhouses and small walk-ups are well under that size; larger elevator buildings and big co-ops may not be.
- Landmarks: exterior work in the Stuyvesant Heights and Bedford historic districts usually needs a permit from the Landmarks Preservation Commission.
- Heat season runs October 1 to May 31, with set minimum indoor temperatures day and night (HPD). An older boiler is the system most likely to fail in January, so have it serviced before October.
- Registration: buildings with three or more apartments, and one- and two-family homes where the owner doesn't live, must register with HPD every year.
- Good Cause Eviction took effect April 20, 2024, for many market-rate apartments in New York City. HPD lists exemptions, including small landlords with 10 or fewer units in the state and owner-occupied buildings with 10 or fewer apartments. Ask your attorney whether it covers your apartment.
