Building Not Part of Horizontal Multiple Dwelling

April 30, 2002

LVT Number: 15820

Tenants claimed that their building was part of a horizontal multiple dwelling and so was subject to rent stabilization. The DHCR ruled against tenants, and they appealed. The court and appeals court ruled against tenants. The Office of Rent Control had previously issued a 1965 decontrol order, ruling that the building wasn't part of a horizontal multiple dwelling. Nothing had changed in the structures since then.
