How the registry is organized and where common tasks live.
Common tasks
- Find a property or owner
- Use the search box at the top, or Properties in the menu. Search by street address, APN or owner name.
- Work a case
- Work queue lists every case that needs staff action, newest first. Filter by type or status, then open the case number.
- Review an exemption
- Exemptions shows pending requests with the checklist of documents. A supervisor approves or denies; the decision and reason go on the property record.
- Find a payment
- Payments lists the day's receipts and exceptions. Cashier lookup is the screen the cashiering counter uses for walk-in payments.
- Send a letter
- Letters and email holds the templates and the log of everything sent, by property.
- Run a report
- Reports holds the standard reports and the ad hoc report builder. Every report exports to Excel or CSV.
Terms
- Registration cycle
- The annual period in which owners register units and pay the rental registry fee.
- Case
- A numbered item of staff work, created automatically when a submission needs review (RR-year-number).
- Exempt unit
- A unit excluded from rent stabilization under the Charter, with its exemption type and supporting documents on file.
