Eviction Notice Needn't Be Delivered to DHCR

LVT Number: 15277

Landlord sued to evict tenant for not renewing his rent-stabilized lease. The court ruled against landlord because it found that landlord should have delivered a copy of its eviction notice to the DHCR. Landlord asked the court to reconsider its decision. The court did so and reversed its prior opinion. The ETPA had been amended in 2000 so that no notice to the DHCR was required.
