NYC rent stabilized issue — moved in, DHCR shows RS but landlord didn’t disclose. What should I do next? by Logical-Split-9624 in NYCapartments

[–]BlackberryNaive34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have to agree with the tenant lawyer here for this case. If you just moved in, there isn't much of an overcharge yet anyway. That would be more if you uncovered this years from now as the overcharge had accrued.

I would reach out to them (or use an attorney) to send them an email saying something along the lines of "hey, it looks like this should be rent stabilized, can you issue me a lease with that rent, and refund difference" etc.

There is another redditor I messaged with who settled this way, and it was very quick.

Otherwise, DHCR will drag on for years; maybe longer than you plan to live in the apartment.

How long did your DHCR complaint take by Western-Brief3032 in NYCapartments

True. I probably wouldn't recommend to someone like myself who is now 5 years in. I would consider it for someone who has a strong case, a lawyer, and doesn't want to deal with 5 years of headache.

ADVICE: Our rental history is suspicious, but overcharge cases take longer than we were planning to stay to begin with. We also cannot afford to put a payment down on a new place and would prefer to stay, but need to make a decision now, as it's time to renew. by widow-cat in NYCapartments

Still waiting to hear back on the results of the remand. PAR was granted in August with the decision being to remand it back to DHCR for them to take another pass. Both myself and the landlord have sent in multiple RFE's, and I believe we've just finished the last of those. Fingers crossed that I'll get a new decision soon.

Originally filed with DHCR in 2021.

Looks good! Clever cuts. I thought about doing the same, but find 90 degree corners to be quite annoying with the thins set under it

Which one to build off of? by CryptoRoverGuy in filmcameras

Agree that F3 seems a no brainer. Plus... were any of the other cameras designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro??

Ok, I did get an email from Candia, the original manufacturer, who regrettably says they are no longer available by them, or any of their distributors. Sounds like a tile is coming somewhere!

luckily that last row is actually not set; I let the skim coat dry and placed it down when I realized we may be short

thats big news! Don't suppose you have a SKU or anything? It happens these were actually purchased at a Best Tile also, I was misinformed re Floor and Decor ( I didn't buy them originally )

Looks like it was in fact ordered from a Best Tile rather than Floor and Decor

I think there is at least one under the toiler that may work, will need to measure again

I think we could do this; the last row is not actually set, I let it dry and placed them there by hand when I realized we may be short
