Synopsis
In this holdover eviction case, the tenant successfully argued that the apartment was subject to Rent Stabilization due to the building's participation in the 421-a tax exemption program. The court found that the landlord failed to provide requisite notices regarding the tax exemption status, and the landlord’s claim that the exemption had been revoked was unsupported. Consequently, the court granted the tenant's summary judgment motion, leading to the dismissal of the eviction proceeding without prejudice.
