What happened
The NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) posted a request for comment on an "SRO List" in The City Record on 10/15/2026. SRO usually stands for single room occupancy, a type of building where rooms are rented individually.
The notice appears under HPD's "Special Materials" section. The only details in the posted text are the agency name and the title "Request for Comment SRO List." The feed summary also lists 100 Gold Street, an address in Manhattan.
The notice does not say what the list contains, which buildings or owners are on it, what HPD plans to do with it, or when comments are due. Readers who own, manage or live in SRO buildings should read the full City Record entry for details.

Background
In New York City, SRO buildings rent individual rooms, often with shared kitchens or bathrooms, and many SRO units are covered by rent regulation. HPD runs programs that apply to some of these buildings. One example is the Certification of No Harassment program, which can require certain owners to show they did not harass tenants before the Department of Buildings (DOB) issues some permits. Requests for comment in The City Record are a common way city agencies invite public input on proposed rules, lists or other materials before acting on them.
