PROPERTY REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS HAVE CHANGED! 

OWNERSHIP TYPE CORPORATION: Property registration requires that all named officers must appear on the registration statement. The lawnow also requires the names and business and residence addresses for all individuals that own at least 25% of a corporation. 

OWNERSHIP TYPE PARTNERSHIP/LLC: Property registration requires that the names and addresses of the partnership/LLC and at least two partners must appear on the registration statement. The law now also requires the names and business addresses of each general partner and for each limited partner that owns at least 25% of the partnership/LLC.

POST OFFICE BOX OR MAIL SERVICE ADDRESS NO LONGER ARE A VALID ADDRESS ON THE PROPERTY REGISTRATION STATEMENT.

P.O. Box or any other mail handling service address will not be accepted as a valid address for the responsible parties for a building; the law requires responsible parties to provide an address at which they do business.

Property registration requires a property registration number (referred to as a Multiple Dwelling Registration, or MDR, number). If you are not sure if your building has a property registration number, go to HPDONLINE and enter your property address. If your building is a new building and you know that there is no HPD property registration number, please contact our Registration Assistance Unit at register@hpd.nyc.gov to request a copy of the form and instructions. Once you receive and complete the form, please submit it with the registration fee payment of $13.00 (check or money order) and a copy of the deed to: Registration Assistance Unit, 100 Gold Street, 4th Floor, Section 4C, New York, New York 10038. A property registration # will be assigned and your property registration will be processed. You will receive a receipt if the registration is complete or a notice regarding any errors from HPD within 4-6 weeks.

• Online Property Registration Form: HPD is pleased to announce that through our online property registration form for residential owners, registration payment may now be made by credit card. American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa are all accepted. By completing your registration form online, you will instantly be alerted to any errors or information missed.  You are still required to print the form and mail the signed copy to HPD. Your registration is not valid until a form with original appropriate signatures is received and validated! If you do not pay with a credit card you must submit the signed registration form with payment to HPD. To access the form, please click on the link above, input your property’s street address and borough location, and click “search.”  On the screen that follows, click the Property Registration Assistance link located in the left-hand column. 
•  Application to Invalidate Registration: Owners that sell their property but continue to receive notices of violations may request that HPD invalidate their last valid property registration statement.  At least 30 days must have elapsed after title is conveyed to the new owner, before such request can be made.  In order to invalidate a property registration statement, the former owner must submit the “Application to Invalidate Registration” form along with proof of the transfer to the HPD Registration Unit.  The Registration Unit will notify the former owner when the registration is invalidated.  Once a registration is invalidated, notices of violations will be served on the current owner by sending them to the building address “Attention Owner," until the current owner registers.
