I. Abstract
The New York City Housing and Vacancy Survey (NYCHVS) is sponsored
by the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development
and is conducted approximately every three years. The Census Bureau has
conducted the survey for the City since 1962. The primary purpose of
the survey is to measure the net rental vacancy rate as it is used to
determine the continuation of current rent regulation laws in New York
City. NYCHVS survey data are also used by policymakers, advocates, and
researchers to inform policy and analyze housing costs and conditions
in the City.
Detailed data from the survey cover many characteristics of the
City's housing market, including characteristics of the City's
population, households, housing stock, and neighborhoods. Data
collected about each person in the household include housing costs and
burden, income and employment, and key demographics, including
membership in protected classes. On the household level, the NYCHVS
collects data including total housing costs and income, public
assistance, and residential history. Data on the City's housing stock
include building and unit quality and condition, rent regulatory and
homeownership status, and unit size and accessibility.
II. Method of Collection
The NYCHVS is collected by personal visit or telephone interview.
All interviews are conducted via a Computer-Assisted Personal Interview
(CAPI) instrument.

Form Number(s): H-100(L).

required specifically by the collection.).
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: 13 U.S.C. 8b, and the Local Emergency Housing Rent
Control Act, Laws of New York (Chapters 8603 and 657).
IV. Request for Comments
We are soliciting public comments to permit the Department/Bureau
to: (a) Evaluate whether the proposed information collection is
necessary for the proper functions of the Department, including whether
the information will have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the accuracy
of our estimate of the time and cost burden for this proposed

the information to be collected; and (d) Minimize the reporting burden
on those who are to respond, including the use of automated collection

Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include, or summarize, each comment in our
request to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address,
phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information
in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--
