4. NYC Tenant Helpline
Citywide tenant support and referrals

5. Housing Court Answers — telephone assistance
Citywide phone service; Staten Island information table currently listed as closed
212-962-4795
Call Monday–Friday 9 a.m.–5 p.m. for Housing Court procedures and referrals to legal or community help. The organization does not provide direct money to pay back rent. Use the phone service; do not assume a Staten Island walk-in information table is open.
Before you contact a provider
Ask about appointments, eligibility and required notices or documents. A referral does not guarantee financial assistance or legal representation, and contacting a service does not pause a court deadline. Addresses, telephone contacts and published rules were checked against official city and provider sources. Telephone numbers have not been tested by calling.
