The REC-1 is how you request your apartment's official rent registration file from New York State. We prepare it, file it, chase DHCR until they respond, and translate every page that comes back into plain English on your private case dashboard.
How it works
Your name, the apartment, a photo ID and a lease or utility bill. Takes about four minutes.
Your details are placed on the official DHCR form and paired with your signed authorization.
Filed directly with the Office of Rent Administration, with your ID and proof of tenancy attached.
Every reply lands in our system automatically. If DHCR goes quiet, we nudge them for you.
Each document appears on your dashboard with a plain-English explanation of what it means.

Sign up with your email and a password so your case is tied to your login and you can come back to it any time. Prefer not to? You can continue without one — we'll email you a case reference and a 6-digit access code instead.
Your ID and signature are stored in private, access-controlled storage and used only to process your DHCR record request.
