To obtain this exemption, you must first apply to the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), which approves such projects. For each approved project, HPD issues two Certificates of Eligibility: a Preliminary Certificate of Eligibility prior to construction and a Final Certificate of Eligibility post construction. Both certificates must be submitted to the Department of Finance, but do not need to be submitted together. Submit each certificate to Finance immediately after it is issued. Your benefits will start once Finance processes your Preliminary Certificate. Projects may receive up to 3 years of benefits during the construction period. Post-construction benefits are for a period of 10, 15, 20, or 25 years. See the Phase-Out Schedule below for post-construction benefits. Please contact HPD for further information on eligibility and benefits. 1) G G G You must file two 421a applications with Finance ­ the first when you receive a Preliminary Certificate of Eligibility for your planned construction, and the second, when you receive the Final Certificate at the completion of the construction. Submit the original Preliminary and Final Certificates of Eligibility issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. Submit a separate 421a application for each certificate. File this application immediately after the certificate is issued. Staten Island projects only: if you are submitting a Preliminary Certificate of Eligibility, include a copy of the deed.
