Verified from official government sources
Staten Island rent-stabilized units (buildings 6+ units built before 1974) follow NYC Rent Guidelines Board increases under ETPA and Rent Stabilization Law.
Richmond County (Staten Island) is covered by NYC and NY State Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 plus the Good Cause Eviction Law adopted by NYC under Local Law 2024. Landlords generally must have good cause (nonpayment, nuisance, owner use, substantial rehab) to refuse lease renewal, and rent increases above the local standard (CPI+5%, capped at 10%) are presumed unreasonable.
All multiple dwellings (3+ units) on Staten Island must file an annual Property Registration Statement with NYC HPD. Registration is required by September 1 each year and whenever ownership or managing agent changes. One- and two-family homes must register only if neither owner nor immediate family occupies the property.
