N.Y.C. Admin. Code tit. 27, ch. 2 § 27-2109.2
Online portfolio report of registered property owners (New York City Housing Maintenance Code)
Operative Text
The department shall maintain through the department's website a publicly accessible electronic interface that reports portfolio information based on the name of a property owner. The report shall be based on the last valid information registered with the department pursuant to section 27-2097 . Such report shall include (i) the address of each registered property owned by such registered owner; (ii) the current number of outstanding violations issued by the department, disaggregated by class, for each property; (iii) the number of findings of harassment currently on record with the department; (iv) the number and types of departmental orders pending on each property; (v) the number of violations issued by the department of buildings pursuant to sections 28-207.2.6 or 28-213.1.2 for each property, including the status of each violation and the date each violation was issued; (vi) findings from the appropriate state agency of rent overcharges against a property, including the reasons provided by the owner for such overcharge, if available, or why such findings could not be included; and (vii) findings from the appropriate state agency indicating illegal removal from rent-regulation, if available, or why such findings could not be included. The department may provide the aggregate data used to create such website to the public advocate upon request in a form that permits automated processing and downloading. (L.L. 2018/062, 1/19/2018, eff. 10/16/2018; Am. L.L. 2019/109, 6/8/2019, eff. 5/1/2021)
Under N.Y.C. Admin. Code § 27-2109.2, the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) is required to maintain a publicly accessible online tool that aggregates key compliance and enforcement data for registered property owners. Anyone can look up an owner by name and see, for each property they own, outstanding housing violations by class, harassment findings, pending departmental orders, Department of Buildings violations, and any state agency findings of rent overcharges or illegal removal from rent regulation. The underlying aggregate data may also be shared with the Public Advocate upon request in a machine-readable format.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 27-2109.2, the portfolio information displayed on HPD's public-facing interface is drawn directly from the registration records a property owner files under § 27-2097, so operators who keep their registration current and accurate are best positioned to ensure the public record reflects their actual portfolio. Compliant operators routinely resolve outstanding violations, respond to departmental orders, and address any Department of Buildings notices in a timely manner, since all of these items appear in the publicly searchable report. Because rent overcharge and illegal-deregulation findings from the appropriate state agency are also included, property owners who maintain lawful rent-regulated practices will generally have a cleaner public record under this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 27-2109.2 gives tenants and the general public a free, searchable tool on HPD's website to review a landlord's compliance history across their entire portfolio — including housing violations by class, harassment findings, pending orders, and any state-agency findings of rent overcharges or illegal removal from rent regulation. Tenants who discover relevant findings through this interface may find the information useful when raising habitability concerns, documenting a pattern of conduct, or seeking assistance from a tenant-rights organization. Those with questions about specific findings — particularly rent overcharge or illegal deregulation entries — may also wish to contact the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal, which is the state agency referenced in this provision.
