Tenants who have received renewal leases from Gotham West which do not include the Utility Allowance should continue to file complaints with the DHCR, if they have not already filed. When the DHCR forwards a copy of Gotham's response to you, it's important to share that response with as many other complaining tenants as possible for comparison purposes. Sharing will aid everyone in preparing replies to the DHCR that respond to Gotham; it will also help to find inconsistencies in their claims.
Here is a link to the proper filing form. The entire complaint package must be sent in duplicate. Be absolutely sure to attach copies of your original lease, the current renewal offer, proof of the last six months of rent payments, and anything else you believe to be of importance.
