Synopsis
In this rent overcharge dispute under rent stabilization laws, the landlord failed to timely submit required documentation despite multiple adjournments. The court upheld the administrative determination denying the landlord's petition, emphasizing that pandemic-related disruptions did not excuse non-compliance with submission deadlines. The decision highlighted the landlord's obligation to maintain records supporting rent increases and upheld respondent's procedural fairness, denying relief based on alleged destruction of documents. The intervention motion by a tenant was granted, affirming his interest in the outcome due to ongoing tenancy.
