B – Legal and Actual
Rents: Apartment Form
(Sample 2)
Legal Rents must be
registered. Actual Rents
are registered only if directed
by the building's Regulatory
Agreement.
The rents registered must
be supported by the
agreement and copies of
relevant pages from the
agreement must be
included in the Initial
Registration submission.
C – 421-a Fields:
Apartment Form
(Sample 2)
421-a selections and
entries only apply to buildings
participating in the NYC
421-a Tax Abatement program
(see HCR Fact Sheet #41)
and generally, do not apply
to Regulatory Agreement
buildings.
If the Regulatory Agreement
building is not also
participating in the 421-a
program, do not make any
421-a selections or entries.
If the Regulatory Agreement
building is also participating
in the 421-a program, make
the appropriate selections and
entries reflecting the 421-a
status of the building and apartments. 10/23
