Greetings! Maybe someone can help out with these two questions.
I've been trying to reach HPD to no avail.
I have finally, after 20 years(!!) gotten offered an apartment in my very own neighborhood in Brooklyn, we are so very excited - I am mid application.
These are my questions, if you have any insight or experience with the following, much appreciated:
1) Regarding primary residence; I have a seasonal business in Upstate NY (3 summer months). This is also where my car is registered, and the only place I use it - I know legally in New York state, I can have my driver's license in the city and register the car elsewhere, and have been doing that for a number of years, all is up and up with my insurance, and the car stays there. For primary residence Mitchell lama has said that all this should be at the apartment- as the car will not be there, this will be a huge expense. Anyone have any experience with this?
2) when I applied, I was single, now I am married. The apartment says as far as now, I may be the only lease (share) holder, though they are checking with some authorities. I will be applying with him also as a resident, and submitting all his info as well as my own (ie: combined income is not an issue).
If I AM the only shareholder, I know my husband can apply for succession after two years- but this does not add him as a shareholder, right? Is there a way to add him as a shareholder later, or is this the only time. As far as I understand, succession is if I leave.. thoughts, experience?
I just got my Mitchell Lama in Cadman Towers in Bk Heights, be careful if you put your husband on the initial application and your combined income is over the max income, hpd will probably reject your application. Once you are in initially, you can add him later on and then pay the maintenance surcharge. I don't think there is a way to add him as a shareholder but not sure about that.
As far as the car, I don't see how or why anyone would care except for your car insurance company where your car is registered.
