MDR Annual Filings

Introduction

The Multiple Dwelling Registration (MDR) is an annual filing requirement for multifamily buildings in New York City. Owners must provide accurate and up-to-date ownership and management information to the NYC Department of Housing Preservation & Development (HPD). This ensures that the City can properly communicate with responsible parties regarding inspections, emergencies, and housing code matters. Metropolitan Realty Exemptions handles the entire filing process to keep your property compliant and avoid costly violations.

Key Components of Prevailing NY Compliance

Objective:

The purpose of MDR filings is to maintain transparent records for buildings with three or more residential units. By ensuring HPD has correct and current information, property owners contribute to safer, well-regulated housing and avoid administrative penalties.

Who Must File?

MDR applies to:

  • Residential buildings with 3+ dwelling units
  • Property owners and landlords
  • Managing agents or authorized representatives appointed to oversee building operations

Failure to file can result in immediate enforcement actions, including fines and a block on issuing permits.
