What We Do

A comprehensive review of your portfolio — delivered as a clear, actionable report.

We go through your rent roll, DHCR registration history, and public records so you know exactly where you stand and what needs attention.

01

Rent Roll Integrity

Cross-reference stabilized units, legal rents, and tenant ledgers for gaps, overcharges, and inconsistencies.

02

DHCR Registration Review

Verify annual filings are complete, accurate, and consistent with your rent history — going back as far as needed.

03

Overcharge Risk Screening

Flag units with potential overcharge exposure before a tenant complaint or DHCR audit forces the issue.

04

Vacancy & Deregulation History

Review vacancy processing, high-rent deregulation records, and supporting documentation for high-risk units.

05

HPD & DOB Violation Snapshot

Pull open violations by building, identify recurring issues, and flag anything affecting stabilization status.

06

Subsidy Program Status

Review Section 8, SCRIE, DRIE, and other program compliance — recertification deadlines and submission gaps.

Client Feedback

What owners are saying.

"We had no idea two units had registration gaps going back four years. The report gave us exactly what we needed to bring to our attorney before it became a complaint."

FAQ

Common questions.

Is this legal advice?+
No. AptRenew is not a law firm and does not provide legal counsel. Our assessments are for informational and planning purposes. Any units flagged with exposure should be reviewed by qualified NYC housing counsel before corrective action is taken.
What files do I need to provide?+
Typically your current rent roll, DHCR registration history, leases for flagged units, and relevant vacancy documentation. We send a simple document request checklist once you're engaged — no guessing required.
How long does the assessment take?+
Typically 5–10 business days after documents are received, depending on portfolio size and complexity. Turnaround is confirmed at engagement.
Do I need an existing problem to work with you?+
No — and most clients don't. The value is catching exposure before it becomes a complaint, audit, or court proceeding. Prevention is always less expensive than remediation.
Is my information kept confidential?+
Yes. Everything you share — rent rolls, leases, registration history — is treated as strictly confidential. We do not share client information or portfolio data with any third parties.
What happens after I receive the report?+
That's entirely up to you. There's no obligation beyond the assessment. If you'd like ongoing support — tracking deadlines, monitoring registrations — we can discuss that after delivery. No pressure.
