Tax-bill counts are self-reported by owners; DHCR lists cover registrations for the stated year. A missing year is often a paperwork lapse, not proof of deregulation. List coverage here: 2007–2013 and 2024; tax-bill counts: 2007–2024.

Get the definitive answer for your unit

  1. Request your rent history from NYS Homes & Community Renewal — free, and only the tenant (or with the unit’s address) can get it. Use HCR’s Rent Connect / “ask a question” portal and choose rent history, or check the building in the DHCR building search.
  2. Read the year-by-year registered rents. If your unit shows registrations, it has a stabilization history; the legal rent trail should connect to what you pay today.
  3. If the numbers jump suspiciously or years are blank, talk to a tenant resource — the Met Council on Housing hotline or Housing Court Answers — before signing anything or confronting anyone. Overcharges can be recoverable.
