June 14, 20055 N.Y.3d 303
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals held that former Mitchell‑Lama apartments continuously occupied since before July 1, 1971 become subject to rent stabilization under the 1969 Rent Stabilization Law, while those that were vacant on or after that date become subject to stabilization by the Emergency Tenant Protection Act and may seek rent adjustments under RSL § 26‑513(a). The Court modified the Appellate Division’s order accordingly and affirmed the result.
