Signs for 1 and 2 Family Rentals in NYC

Good news: a rented 1 or 2 family home is not a multiple dwelling, so the full lobby set does not apply. A few rules still do, and they are easy to miss.

In short: A rented 1 or 2 family home needs the gas leak notice for tenants (with each lease), working smoke and CO alarms, a visible street number, and HPD registration if neither you nor your family lives there.

Common questions

Do 1 and 2 family homes need HPD signs?

Mostly no. The lobby set is for buildings with 3 or more units. Rented homes still owe tenants the gas leak notice and working alarms.

Do I need to register my 2 family with HPD?

Only if neither you nor your immediate family lives there.

What if I add a third apartment?

Then the building is a multiple dwelling and the full set applies. See our apartment building list.
