DHCR Operational Bulletins
NYS Division of Housing and Community Renewal
DHCR Operational Bulletins are issued by the New York State
Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) and update
agency administration of the rent laws. The agency is generally
obligated to follow the policy contained in these and other
documents or provide a rational for deviation; failure to follow
the law, policy or practice may form the basis for an appeal.
DHCR Operational Bulletins are available as online text
and also in downloadable Adobe Acrobat PDF format.
Electronic versions of the documents on TenantNet
are for informational purposes only and there is no guarantee
they will be accepted by any court (or even DHCR) as true copies
of DHCR policy. The reader is advised to obtain true copies of
these documents from DHCR. Also see DHCR Policy Statements,
DHCR Advisory Opinions, the Rent Stabilization Code, the Rent
Stabilization Law and various Rent Control Statutes.
Every attempt has been made to conform to the original
Operational Bulletins as issued by DHCR. TenantNet makes no
representation the enclosed material is current or will be
applied as written. The reader is advised that DHCR often
fails to properly apply, interpret or enforce housing laws and
that various sections of the rent laws have changed since these
Operational Bulletins were originally issued. Since housing laws
are complex and often contradictory, it is recommended the reader
obtain competent legal advice from a tenant attorney or counseling
from a tenant association or community group.
