This is not accurate.

> no landlord of any dwelling as defined in § 260-1

That part is very important. These provisions only apply to apartments that are subject to the city’s rent control ordinance.

Most buildings built in the past 30 years or so are not subject to rent control. Many older properties are also not covered by the ordinance.

I thought most buildings had this 4% rent increase cap unless they’re specifically exempt. There was that whole thing with the Rivington (a new building) trying to jack up rents but they didn’t have an exemption to the rent control ordinance. I believe you can look up if buildings are exempt.

Hoboken (Rivington) and JC have different rent control laws. What Objectimpermanence stated is correct for JC.
