In the Matter of Leona Dworman, Respondent v. New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal, Appellant…

Summary

The Court held that the Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) may, in its discretion, accept late income certifications from rent‑stabilized tenants when good cause is shown, and remanded the Dworman and Sudarsky matters for further consideration. It affirmed DHCR’s order denying relief to Seymour, finding no abuse of discretion. The decisions rest on statutory construction of the Rent Regulation Reform Act and the agency’s delegated discretion.
