Is My Apt Rent Stabilized in NYC?
To check if your NYC apartment is rent stabilized, search your building address at 311tracker.com — it shows how many stabilized units the building registered each year from 2007 to 2023. A building with registered units in recent years is likely still stabilized.
- Buildings built before 1974 with 6+ units are typically covered; many post-1974 buildings qualify through tax incentive programs
- 311tracker pulls from two sources: tax bill data (2007–2017) and DHCR filings (2018–2023)
- Declining unit counts year-over-year may signal the building lost stabilization after 2019's Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act
- For a legally binding determination, request your rent history from NYS HCR at hcr.ny.gov — landlords are required to disclose
NYC has roughly 1 million rent-stabilized apartments. See the 311tracker data dashboard for citywide housing statistics.
