Q: Building is J51 on HPD; all tenants have Preferential rent as only Legal Rent, but my apartment is 421a with concessions
I am a few dozens years tenant, years on SCRIE.
Apparently situation is the revoked Preferential Rent ( after 2019 Act). In my renewal lease now is High Old LLR, though it was HSTPA change in 2020/2021; my bills are reversed to High Rent with Concessions. I researched Neighbours: all of them have Preferential Rent only after 2019, no one ever had or has any concessions. I am ONLY ONE.
All neighbors noticed difference in my lease and bill with their and saying I have a fraudulent lease and fraud in bills: Concessions are belong to newer buildings with 421a tax. Building is 1927 and has J51 since 1984 according HPD. Half building is warehoused since 2019 and some few new tenants have no rent stabilization, which was in entire building with 1984-2022. Is not J51 Tax means entire building is rent stabilised? What I can do to restore my preferential rent and correct

Dear Tenant
Something seems wrong with the underlying facts. The J51 should have expired. https://www.nyc.gov/site/hpd/services-and-information/tax-incentives-j-51.page#:~:text=Benefits%20granted%20include%3A,get%20the%2014%2Dyear%20exemption
Consider consulting an attorney.
