"I have been a member of CHIP for the past seven years. I also belong to other property owner groups. However, CHIP is where I get the most practical and helpful information. When I bought my first apartment house, I found myself in a regulatory nightmare. I called CHIP and was immediately referred to another CHIP owner with experience with my problem. I followed his advice, cleared the problem with the DHCR, and avoided a costly rent reduction. You can bet I'll be a life-long member of CHIP."
