An appraiser in New York is valuing a rent-stabilized building in Brooklyn using the income approach. The building generates $120,000 in gross rental income, but $30,000 of this is from rent-stabilized units below market rate. How should the appraiser handle this situation?

Correct Answer

B) Apply a capitalization rate that reflects the rent regulation restrictions

Under New York's rent stabilization laws, the appraiser should use the actual restricted rents but apply a capitalization rate that reflects the increased risk and limited income potential due to rent regulation. This approach accounts for the legal restrictions while providing an accurate market value.

Answer Options
A
Use the actual rent roll without adjustment since it reflects true income
B
Apply a capitalization rate that reflects the rent regulation restrictions
C
Adjust the rent-stabilized units to market rate for valuation purposes
D
Exclude the rent-stabilized units from the income calculation entirely
