Who must file

Does your property require an RPIE?

NYC generally requires owners of most income-producing properties with actual assessed value above $40,000 to file annually. Many commercial, mixed-use, and rental properties are covered; some owners must file a Claim of Exclusion even when a full RPIE is not required.

Missed exclusion filings can trigger escalating penalties — get clarity early.

If you're not sure whether your property qualifies, a short eligibility review can prevent costly non-compliance.
