Landlord Submits Insufficient Proof That Building Is Exempt from Stabilization

Landlord asked the DHCR for a determination that its building wasn't subject to rent stabilization. The DRA ruled against landlord, who appealed and lost. Landlord claimed that the building was vacant from 1989 to 2010, that it was owner occupied, that MCIs were performed at the building, and that the building was properly registered. But landlord didn't respond to the DRA's requests for additional information, and DOB records didn't show that any permits for the claimed rehabilitation work had been approved. So landlord's application was correctly denied.
