Rules that apply to Sunset Park 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.
- Local Law 11 / FISP: buildings higher than six stories need a facade inspection every five years by a qualified inspector, filed with the NYC Department of Buildings. Most low-rise stock here is exempt, but the tall apartment houses are not.
- 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.
