Registering your property with the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) is not only a legal requirement but also essential for effective property management and compliance.

? Who Must Register?

You are required to register annually with HPD if:

Your property is a multiple dwelling with three or more residential units (including condos, co-ops, and hotels).

• You own a one- or two-family dwelling where neither you nor your immediate family resides.

This requirement applies to most landlords in New York City.

✅ Why Registration Matters

1. Legal Compliance: Annual registration is mandated by the NYC Housing Maintenance Code. Failure to comply can result in civil penalties ranging from $250 to $5,000, depending on the property's size and the nature of the violation. HPD Signs NYC

2. Violation Management: Only registered properties can certify or dismiss HPD violations. Without valid registration, you cannot resolve outstanding issues or remove violations from your record. HPD Signs NYC+3SiteCompli+3City Building Owners Insurance+3

3. Legal Proceedings: Unregistered properties are barred from initiating legal actions in Housing Court to recover possession of premises for nonpayment of rent. SiteCompli+4City Building Owners Insurance+4HPD Signs NYC+4

4. Emergency Communication: HPD uses the contact information provided during registration to notify owners about emergencies, complaints, and inspections, ensuring timely responses to critical situations.

5. Avoiding Enforcement Programs: Failure to register can lead to inclusion in HPD’s Alternative Enforcement Program (AEP), which subjects properties to increased scrutiny and potential costly repairs mandated by the city.

?️ Key Deadlines

• Registration Period: Annually from May 21 to September 1.

• Fee Payment: A $13 registration fee is billed via the Department of Finance and is due by July 1 each year. Updates: You must update your registration if there are changes in ownership, managing agent, or contact information.
