White Plains Mun. Code ch. 4-10 § 4-10-18 places a recurring annual obligation on building owners: for each rent-regulated housing accommodation in their portfolio, a $15.00 charge is owed to the city each fiscal year. Compliant operators typically track the number of regulated units in each building and ensure timely payment before or at the close of the January–December fiscal period. Keeping accurate unit counts and payment records helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with this administrative requirement.

White Plains Mun. Code ch. 4-10 § 4-10-18 establishes that the financial obligation for this annual per-unit charge falls on the building owner, not the tenant. Tenants living in rent-regulated accommodations covered by this provision are not responsible for paying this fee to the city. Tenants who believe an owner may be improperly passing this charge along to them can look into filing a complaint with the appropriate local rent or housing authority, or consult a tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
