Housing Info Guide Sign

Ensure your building complies with New York City housing notice requirements with the Housing Info Guide Sign. Designed for residential properties subject to NYC housing regulations, this durable sign clearly communicates required tenant information and helps property owners maintain compliance with applicable housing laws. 

What This Sign is For: The Housing Info Guide Sign informs residents of important housing-related information required by New York City law. It serves as a centralized notice that directs tenants to essential resources regarding their rights, building information, safety procedures, and other legally mandated housing notices. Proper posting helps ensure occupants can easily access important information while assisting building owners in maintaining compliance with local regulations.

Legal Requirement Explained: The New York City Housing Maintenance Code requires certain residential buildings to provide tenants with readily accessible housing information and required notices. The Housing Info Guide Sign helps property owners satisfy these posting requirements by identifying where occupants can obtain important building and housing information. Proper placement improves tenant awareness, supports transparency, and assists inspectors in verifying compliance with applicable housing regulations.

Who is Required to Post This Sign:
- Owners of qualifying multiple dwellings subject to the New York City Housing Maintenance Code
- Residential apartment buildings
- Rent-regulated residential properties where applicable
- Property management companies responsible for maintaining code compliance
- Building owners required to display tenant information and legally mandated housing notices
Requirements may vary depending on the size, occupancy, and classification of the building.

Where We Recommend This Sign Be Posted:
- In the building lobby or main entrance area
- Near the primary entrance used by residents
- In another common area readily accessible to all occupants
- Alongside other legally required building notices where applicable
- In a location that remains visible during normal building operation
The sign should be positioned where residents and inspectors can easily locate and read it without obstruction.

Unacceptable Locations to Post This Sign:
- Inside private apartments or tenant units
- Inside locked management offices inaccessible to residents
- Behind furniture, decorations, bulletin boards, or other obstructions
- In mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, or utility spaces
- In locations with poor visibility or inadequate lighting
- Anywhere that requires special access or employee permission to view
Posting the sign in inaccessible locations may prevent compliance with applicable housing notice requirements.
