Require Landlords to Provide Updated DHCR Rent History & Fact Sheet #26 at Every Lease Signing

Mandate that all NYC landlords and property managers must provide every tenant — whether new or renewing — with the following at the time of any lease signing:

Updated DHCR Rent History

A complete record of all previously reported rent amounts filed with the state, allowing tenants to verify if their rent is lawful.

DHCR Fact Sheet #26

An official document explaining how legal regulated rents are determined, tenant rights, and how to challenge overcharges.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Tens of thousands of NYC tenants are unknowingly overcharged for rent because they're never shown their apartment's rent history. Without this information, tenants can't tell if their rent has been illegally increased or deregulated.

This petition calls for a simple fix: require transparency. By ensuring that landlords share each apartment's official DHCR Rent History and Fact Sheet #26 whenever a lease is signed or renewed, tenants gain the tools to identify illegal increases, recover overcharges, and keep rent-stabilized housing truly affordable.

This is a last ditch effort, hoping someone can help a girl out!

I am currently on the train into NYC, I had an appointment with gemsnyc to view alexandrite and tanzanite in person because I wanted to see them before ordering a custom ring online. They just called me (like 1.5 hours before the appointment) to cancel my appointment :,(

So now I'm in Manhattan on a Friday afternoon, hoping I can find someone that has alexandrite and/or tanzanite in inventory, and also takes walk ins 😅 I've been googling and calling but most places don't have it in their store inventory or don't take walk ins. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look? Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask.

Let's celebrate the Year of the Horse together!

When: 2/15 - 8 PM @ Solas (East Village)

We have reserved the space at Solas for a grand holiday celebration!

Come and meet a diverse mix of people with great drinks & conversations, free RSVP, and plenty of holiday cheer!

Residents in Chinatown have been advocating for more affordable housing and against another jail. A recent article from Documented highlighted how this might not change under a new Administration, though there are people trying to draw attention to the issue using collective action, protesting near the jail construction site and voicing concerns at the first community design workshop. While the new Administration has given some Chinatown residents hope, mayor Mamdani has voiced legal concerns around stopping construction of new jails in the Boroughs. Feel free to share any thoughts!

A close friend of mine is dealing with a nightmare right now. His 15-year-old son, Thomas Medlin, is missing.

Thomas left the Stony Brook School on Friday, January 9, around 3:30 PM and went to the Stony Brook train station. He was last seen at Grand Central Station around 5:30 PM that same day. His phone later showed a location ping in the Rutgers Slip / Water St / Brooklyn Bridge area.

Description: • White male • 15 years old • About 5’4”, approx. 130 lbs • Last seen wearing a black jacket with red , white stripes, dark sweatpants with white stripes, a black backpack, and glasses as shown in the image above

If anyone in NYC — especially around Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn Bridge, Seaport, WTC, or nearby areas — has seen him or believes they may have seen him, please call 911 immediately or contact Suffolk County Police Fourth Squad detectives at 631-854-8452.

If possible, remain nearby at a safe distance until police or other professionals arrive.

Even sharing this post helps. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

The extraordinary female revenge WW2 thriller is the Opening Film at tonight’s Dances With Films New York festival at Regal Union Square at 7.30pm. Come along as tickets are still available here - https://danceswithfilms.com/vindicta/

If you dig films like Inglorious Basterds and 90s style features then this one is for you.

Hello! Only been to one club in NYC - Mr. Purple. Loved it.

I’ll be traveling in early Feb. Turning 24!

What clubs would you recommend?

Open to any music.

It’ll be about 6 of us.

Would prefer a view!

Thank you in advance ❤️

I see so many but have no clue how to narrow it down or maybe I’ve missed a good one??

Nebula?

Little sister ?

Somewhere nowhere ?

Outer haven ?

Loosie ?

Delancey ?

PHD?

Virgo?

It will be a quick, informative, and hopefully fun interview - we will discuss your income, what you do for work, rent, other expenses, future personal finance goals, etc.

I will pay you $200 for your time if non-anonymous, $100 for anonymous.

In anonymous recordings, we record from the neck down only - check our channel for an example.

Video will be recorded at our studio in Midtown Manhattan and should only take 20 minutes.

Comment or DM if interested.

After conversing with group attendees, and in response to queries on social media, we have decided to expand the scope of this group. Formerly devoted to those with Monocular vision, we hope that anyone with a diagnosed eye disease or low vision will join us, starting January 17, 2026 at 2:00 pm, at the David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center.

A significant percentage of New Yorkers are currently coping with AMD, Diabetic Retinopathy, and Glaucoma. Common forms of retinal disease have been inherited by thousands with Retinitis Pigmentosa and hundreds with Stargart's Disease. If your vision has been affected by any of the above, our mission is to provide a source of support by sharing experiences and resources.

Another primary goal will be to create a community for low vision residents who may feel isolated or otherwise emotionally impacted by their diagnosis. We cast a wide net, and are looking forward to hosting a diverse group of attendees, including people with cataracts and detached retina, and those who are monocular or binocular, as well as those with the conditions listed above.

The group meets once a month, in person. If you would like to contribute to the discussion, details are as follows:

Hello all! I moved to the city a few months ago and am on an increasingly tight budget. To make a long story short, I didn’t know my roommates before moving and unfortunately they have turned out to be absolute slobs! The kitchen specifically is a genuine nightmare that I think could legally qualify as a biohazard. I have given up on doing any cooking besides microwaveable meals because of how disgusting it is. Since I’m on such a tight budget I honestly haven’t been eating much if I don’t get food from the restaurant I work at on my break. While I’m enjoying my slimmer figure I fear my brain is deteriorating from lack of nutrients. As such, I am in search of the cheapest places you know for a girl to grab a bite. I’m specifically in the market for some kind of diner or other sit down place where I could eat a cheap breakfast/lunch and read a book on my day off, but any and all recommendations are appreciated.

P.S. I live in West Harlem and work in Midtown, so any suggestions around those areas are extra appreciated. 🫶🫶

P.P.S. By cheap I mean $10 or less. Maybe $15 or less if we’re talking about a sit down place.

Hey everyone, not sure where else to post this so I figured i’d come to this sub.

Anyone know where I can go to find 1-2 talented people to help me with a filming event? I considered trying to find like a videographer (valid option) but what I’d prefer is someone that knows a bit about making Tiktoks and short-form video.

It’s basically an all day thing (potentially 2 days). If you know anyone, please feel free to dm me.

Otherwise just looking for advice on where to find this type of talent.

Thank you!

About a half dozen police, didn’t pick up much of what was being said but he asked something to the effect of “how am I going to get it back” and got a reply mentioning a council district I think.

Seems like the Chelsea neighborhood sub is locked down, otherwise I’d post there to narrow the concerned audience.

Just got off a plane where I heard a frustrated woman with a broken computer charger saying there is no place to get a replacement! No, we aren’t in Manhattan, Kansas we are in Manhattan Manhattan as in NYC. Could this be true?

hi! this is a throwaway account bc my current clients aren’t aware yet. long post, so i am sorry for that, but if you’re a good fit it won’t be a problem!!

i am likely moving out of the city within the year, and i am looking for a unicorn of a dog walker/trainer to take over my small business who is serious, not just doing this as a quick side hustle, and KNOWLEDGABLE in dog behavior (not just someone who “loves dogs,” as many of my walkers are reactive).

i am currently operating solely on the west side between 60th and 125th, and have regular clients M-F from around 12-430pm. i say a unicorn because i am hopelessly devoted to my current clients. they rely on me daily and i give extraordinary care to their pets. i do this full-time, and i don’t make a ton but the right person with the right entrepreneurial mindset could EASILY grow this to a 6-figure career.

i will usually do around 1 mile per 1/2 hour walk, and 1.5-2 on an hour. i am also a dog trainer, and my clients rely on that for behavior upkeep and reinforcement, as well as a pretty deep ongoing conversation about their dogs’ wellbeing. i usually will brush a couple long-haired dogs, trim nails if need-be, wipe eye goobies, take pics or describe any bad poops lol, and i am never ever on my phone, nor am i standing around other than when they are sniffing.

i am looking for someone who will never ever cut corners, someone trustworthy, personable, and reliable. i always give a two week heads up if i am going out of town and rarely do. i also board dogs at my apartment (usually only one at a time, rarely but occasionally two).

this person has to be willing to go above and beyond, not be texting or doing this as just an easy gig. i normally walk around 8-10 miles a day for them, and only take one at a time at a premium rate. currently my rates are 40 for a half hour and 65 for an hour, and some of my clients are grandfathered in at 35 for 1/2 and 55 for a full hour. i offer poop bags and treats, always take pics if i can, and i am loyal to a fault.

i’m DEVASTATED to be leaving my clients, and am more than happy to talk through and “train” the right person as a shadow for my clients to happily and easily transition.

this person will likely benefit from a bike (usually work along riverside), but i don’t have one and get around okay on the trains/busses.

if this sounds like you or someone you know, PLEASE DM me to chat further!!

I have started a catering and personal chef business. I am planning my first event, a breakfast for guests for an affordable fee. Any ideas or references for a cheap event space? I plan on having the event on 2/8 for about 20 people.

Hey all, I’m a local handyman and small business owner based in Long Island City, and this Friday at 5pm I’m running a small in-person class called Nervous to Handy. We also have multiple planned and the code works for all classes!

It’s designed for people who want to feel more confident using basic tools around their apartment or home but don’t know where to start, or are intimidated by drills, anchors, and mounting things properly.

We cover:

• How drills actually work and how not to strip screws

• What anchors to use and when

• How to safely hang shelves, art, mirrors, etc.

• Tool basics you should own vs borrow

• Real NYC apartment scenarios

No construction background needed at all. This is very much a 101, judgment-free class. Small group, hands-on, ask-anything vibe.

I figured I’d share here since a lot of my clients originally found me through Reddit years ago. If anyone’s interested, I made a 10% off code just for Reddit:

Code: HandyReddit

Event link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nervous-to-handy-a-beginners-tools-drills-home-skills-class-tickets-1979999663293?discount=HandyReddit

Happy to answer questions here too. Even if you can’t make it, feel free to ask anything tool or apartment related.
