Synopsis
The tenants in a rent-stabilized apartment building sought to overturn DHCR's determination that the building was exempt from rent stabilization due to substantial rehabilitation. The court denied the tenants' petition, finding that DHCR's determination was supported by the evidence and was not arbitrary or capricious. The court also found that DHCR was not required to conduct an in-person inspection of the premises before making its determination.
