Unit Used as Advertising Agency Not Covered

July 31, 1993

LVT Number: 8058

Landlord sued to evict loft tenant. The loft was used as an advertising agency. Tenant claimed he also lived in the loft. The trial court refused to dismiss the case without a trial, and landlord appealed. The appeals court ruled for landlord. The loft wasn't rent stabilized and didn't qualify as an interim multiple dwelling because no residential permit application had been filed with the City Planning Commission. The building was in a commercially zoned area.
