Synopsis

The Appellate Division, First Department reversed a Supreme Court judgment that annulled New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) orders partially denying rent increase applications based on major capital improvements (MCI) by 101 East 16th Street Realty LLC et al. The court held that DHCR's application of part K amendments from the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (HSTPA) was rational, affecting only prospective rent increases. The court dismissed the petition brought pursuant to CPLR article 78.
