Synopsis
The appellate court affirmed DHCR's determination that petitioner's unit was deregulated in 1994 due to vacancy and surpassing the legal regulated rent threshold, rejecting claims of insufficient challenge and conceding rent amount. The court upheld DHCR's decision not to review rent history pre-deregulation and dismissed petitioner's arguments, confirming no fraudulent deregulation challenge was raised, thereby affirming the lower court's denial of the petition.
