Tenant Substantially Won

Synopsis

In this no-grounds holdover proceeding, the landlord sought to evict the tenant. The tenant asserted that the apartment was subject to rent stabilization because the building had been previously altered to contain six apartments. The court agreed with the tenant. The court found that even though the landlord claimed one of the units had been removed, evidence suggested it had previously been rented as a residential unit, triggering rent stabilization for the entire building.
