The council member asks about how the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) monitors compliance with the 421A program's rent stabilization requirements and collects data from building owners.

  • HPD verifies if units are properly rent stabilized as required under programs like J51
  • HPD checks if building owners annually register rent stabilized units
  • HPD can access enforcement data through live systems and annual data feeds from other agencies
  • An MOU likely governs the data sharing process between agencies

But can you tell us a little bit more about what they do so?
1:35:21
Are they requesting information from owner on a regular basis?
1:35:26
Are they sharing information about tell us information about what this data sharing through the MOU, which you may or may not be able to get me a copy of.
1:35:37
Just a little bit more about that piece of it.
1:35:39
I mean, the the

1:35:40
big thing that we're looking at so, again, this little bit different because our the example we're working from is a slightly different program with different requirements.
1:35:48
But the basic information is, are the units rent stabilized as they are required to be?
1:35:56
Right?
1:35:56
And that is fundamentally for, like, a rent stabilized building in j51.
1:36:00
That is the requirement.
1:36:04
Right?
1:36:05
So it that's that's the big thing.
1:36:07
Are they entering the units into run stabilization annually?
1:36:10
And is it in this case, if it were J51, is it at least 50 some of the units.
Pierina Ana Sanchez
1:36:15
Mhmm.
1:36:16
And how often are you do does HVD receive data from the HDR?
1:36:23
Yes.
1:36:23
Thank you.
Lucy Joffe
1:36:25
So we receive that data.
1:36:28
I just jumped to dancer and now I'm imposing.
1:36:31
So there's multiple methods by which we actually receive this data.
1:36:36
We can access it sometimes some of it through live systems, and then we actually also get an annual feed or drop.
1:36:43
My research team is sitting here cringing watching me mess up how to exactly describe this.
1:36:48
But we can access enforcement data on a regular basis.
Pierina Ana Sanchez
1:36:53
Okay.
