SCRIE Recertification for Co-op City Recipients
Co-op City shareholders who are currently receiving the Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption (SCRIE) should have received a SCRIE recertification package by the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). HPD administers the SCRIE program for housing developments in the Mitchell-Lama program. Please note that this recertification process only applies to the 1,618 senior shareholders in Co-op City who currently receive SCRIE. Recipients must be careful to safeguard the original recertification form mailed to their homes because each form has a unique bar code that identifies the shareholder the form was mailed to. Therefore, the recertification form cannot be duplicated or shared with anyone else. This original form with the specific bar code is the only form that will be accepted by HPD. Shareholders filling out the recertification form will need their income for the year 2024. The deadline to return the recertification form is December 15, 2025. A SCRIE return envelope is included in the mailing and must be used to return the form. SCRIE recertification return envelopes must not be deposited into the carrying charge boxes. Forms mailed to any other address except the one specified in the mailing will not be accepted and will be returned to the shareholder. The return address is: Division of Housing Supervision P.O. Box 3132 Union, NJ 07083 Attn: SCRIE Unit For information about SCRIE or questions about your recertification, please contact SCRIE at (212) 863-6946 or email scrie@hpd.nyc.gov.
