30-Day Minimum Rentals Required for Landlord’s Residential Building

April 19, 2016

LVT Number: #26892

DOB denied landlord’s request for a Letter of No Objection regarding the rental of apartments for less than seven days. Landlord appealed, and the NYC Board of Standards and Appeals ruled against landlord. Landlord then filed an Article 78 appeal. The court ruled for landlord. The city then appealed to a higher court and won. Landlord’s saving-clause right to continue renting SRO units for as little as seven days was changed by 2010 amendment to Multiple Dwelling Law Section 366(1).
