Residents of Zone A buildings have been receiving word of long waits?in some cases, weeks or months?before they will be allowed to return to their homes. Many are wondering whether they'll have to pay rent for the time that they're displaced, and building managers are starting to send out answers to rent questions. (There are also some broader legal answers.) Here now, a list of all the buildings for which we've received rent abatement or due date information. Know of one we haven't mentioned? Let us know in the comments or via the tipline.

Chelsea Landmark (55 West 25th Street): Management will abate rents for the time that residents were out of the building.
