Did the Means Test get easier?
The means test is a method of determining a person’s eligibility to maintain a chapter 7 case. It plays a major role in determining if a person can file a chapter 7 bankruptcy or must file under a different chapter of the bankruptcy code.
On March 15th the New York median household income increased. This allows those looking to file for chapter 7 bankruptcy to make a little more money, but still pass the means test. Generally, what is meant by passing/failing the means test:
Passing the means test = you can likely file a chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Failing the means test= you likely won’t be able to file a chapter 7 bankruptcy.
So, this increase should allow more people to pass the means test.
This is good news! However, the above is all very general information. You should discuss your specific situation with a knowledgeable bankruptcy attorney before deciding to file, or not file for bankruptcy.

“I should have done this sooner.”
Recently, we have had more and more individuals come into our office who have tried to alleviate their debts by hiring a debt consolidation, debt resolution, debt settlement, or some other “get rid of your debt quick” company. Many of them have paid thousands of dollars to these companies. Most of them have only had one or two, if they’re lucky, debts actually settled. After we explain how bankruptcy works and the client decides that filing bankruptcy is in their best interest, they almost all say “I should have done this sooner.”

Multiple Dwelling Registration
If a landlord in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Staten Island, or the Bronx wants to bring an action in Landlord-tenant court or request a code violation dismissal, it is important that he/she make sure their building has a multiple dwelling registration number and is properly registered with HPD’s Registration Assistance Unit. In order for a landlord to initiate a court action or to request a code violation dismissal, they must prove that the building ‘s registration is current. A building with three or more dwelling units must be registered with HPD’s Registration Assistance Unit. Additionally, owners of 1 and 2 family dwellings, where neither the owner nor any family member occupies the dwelling, are also required to register with HPD. The building’s registration must be renewed annually.
