8 sie 2018 · To apply for succession, you must file an application with the housing company that manages your Mitchell-Lama building. If the housing company denies your request, the application then goes to HPD or DHCR, depending on which agency oversees the development, and they make a ruling.
Protecting apartment resources. Under both HCR and HPD rules and regulations, you can apply occupancy standards to succession. In practical terms, this means avoiding the misallocation of apartment resources where a single individual, through succession, is living in a three-bedroom apartment.
The complete requirements for succession rights can be found in the Mitchell-Lama rules on HPD’s Web page at www.nyc.gov/hpd. There are three (3) conditions you must meet and document to qualify for succession: . (1) Authorized Family Member, (2) Inclusion on the necessary Income Affidavits, and . (3) Occupancy during the Co-Residency Period.
