New York Court of Appeals
In the Matter of Germaine Gaines, Respondent v. New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal, Appellant
October 16, 199790 N.Y.2d 545
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals held that the judicial‑sale exemption in the Rent Stabilization Code extends to successor purchasers, so the current landlord was not liable for overcharges by prior owners, and reversed the Appellate Division’s decision.
