The NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) requires registration of One- and two-family dwellings that are not occupied by the owner or his/her family member. Not having your property registered could lead to a fine, dismissal of your landlord tenant eviction case or denial of back rent owed to you by your tenant.

We have recently encountered some issues during debt settlement negotiations with creditors. It now seems to be an increasing trend that creditors are requiring a power of attorney form, even from your attorney, to discuss the creditors accounts. Generally, a letter of representation or an authorization form is sufficient. Don’t be shocked however when they refuse to speak with any person who has not been given an effective power of attorney. Although it seems to be a little redundant to have an attorney given such powers (which the retainer has seemingly already given him), the hurdle is minor and is generally easier to comply with than to challenge. If there are any questions or concerns regarding whether or not granting your attorney the power of attorney is a wise decision, then feel free to call us at (516) 858-2620!

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.
