At Housing Court Answers, formerly known as the City-Wide Task Force on Housing Court, we help people in New York City navigate the complex world of Housing Court and NYC's tangle of housing laws and regulations.

We are the first and best place to go to in New York City for information about Housing Court. We help people without lawyers at our information tables in the city's Housing Courts, on our hotline which is open five days a week, and on this website. Please explore the website. If you are a returning visitor you will find our detailed fact sheets on Housing Court procedures and information about the courts. For new visitors, please enter the website via the buttons on the left. Are you a tenant? A landlord? An advocate or researcher? You will find pages with many links designed to help you navigate Housing Court, housing law, or find other help. 

Early closings: The Housing Courts in all counties of New York City close at 3:45 (some courts open later for emergencies and on Thursdays).
