CHIP was established in 1966 to fight rent regulations and help apartment building owners survive in New York.
CHIP led the campaign to win vacancy decontrol of rent controlled units in 1971, and the New York State “Urstadt Law” limiting New York City’s power to add stricter regulations. CHIP also helped win fuel and labor pass-alongs.
CHIP fought universal water metering in the 1980’s and won moratoriums on metered billing in the “90’s to save low income, high population density housing from unaffordable doubling and tripling of water costs. We’re still pushing for new equitable billing methods and pass-alongs.
In 1993, and 1997, CHIP was a leader in winning rent law reforms providing luxury decontrol, relief from overcharge penalties, and deposit of rent legislation.
CHIP is still at the forefront of the battle to win vacancy decontrol for all apartments and real deposit of rent in housing court. We are also fighting to stop City and State Agencies from burying owners with costly paperwork. We lead the industry in City Hall, Albany and Washington on critical lead paint policies, and serve as owners eyes and ears on the alert for new threats to housing. Today, we are fighting more property tax increases.
CHIP’s monthly newsletter, the New York Housing Journal, frequent membership meetings and special mailings keep owners posted on industry concerns and involved in solutions. Our board consists of property owners with hands-on knowledge of the business – Owners helping Owners.
Join CHIP in fighting for you as a property owner.
