Rent Regulation

Graubard Miller regularly appears before the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR), the New York State Division of Human Rights, the Environmental Control Board (ECB) and other administrative agencies that regulate residential real estate. We have particular expertise in dealing with matters involving rent stabilization, the Emergency Tenant Protection Act (ETPA) and rent control as well as J-51 and 421-a tax abatements. We handle due diligence for lenders and purchasers of property to assess potential problems and opportunities. We advocate for property owners and agents in proceedings before DHCR and in the courts regarding matters that involve luxury deregulation, demolition, major capital improvement (MCI) rent increases, hardship applications, required services, rent overcharge and rent registration.
