RENT ROLLBACKS specializes in Rent Overcharge and Fair Market Rent Appeal complaints filed in the New York State Division Of Housing & Community Renewal (DHCR).

A non-attorney tenant service with 20 years experience in DHCR’s complex procedures. Formerly a member of the Tenants’ Advisory Committee before the Commissioner of the DHCR at a time when the agency’s focus was to preserve affordable rents.

    ●  If your overcharge case is now lost in DHCR’s morass

    ●  If you are rent regulated but are not receiving the copy of the landlord’s registrations on an annual basis

    ●  If you have not received a rent history rider with your vacancy lease showing the rent charged the prior tenant

   ●  If you are told that you are being charged a preferential rent but not to worry about the higher rent being registered with DHCR

  ●  If your building has rent regulated tenants but you are told your apartment is deregulated

  ●  If the landlord is depriving you of regular heat, hot water and repairs

He warns people not to underestimate the consequences of not paying attention to the requirements placed on tenants who wish to have their rights considered under the rent laws.

        People frequently call and say, “this is my first apartment in New York. I don’t know if my apartment is rent regulated and I don’t know what that means”. I advise everyone to call the DHCR hotline at (718) 739-6400 to ask for a printout of the rent history of the apartment. The New York State statute of limitations allow a rent review to go back no further than 4 years from the date of filling a complaint. The printout will tell the tenant what is the status of the apartment (which may not be lawful) and it will give rental information that can be used to calculate, as an outside estimate, the lawful rent. I have been representing tenants before the DHCR on these rent overcharge complaints for the past 20 years as a specialty in DHCR procedures.
