DHCR "EA" Properly Explained Effect of HSTPA on Deregulation Order

LVT Number: #31164

In 2018, landlord applied for high-rent/high-income deregulation of tenant's rent-stabilized apartment. In February 2019, the DRA ruled for landlord based on tenants' admission that their total annual household income exceeded $200,000 in both 2016 and 2017. The DRA ruled for landlord but noted in its decision that the unit "is deregulated, effective upon the expiration of the existing lease."
