DHCR Dismisses Landlord's Deregulation Application as Moot

Landlord applied for high-rent/high-income deregulation of tenant's rent-stabilized apartment in 2011. The DRA ruled against landlord, who appealed and lost. The DRA had previously deregulated tenant's apartment in a prior luxury deregulation proceeding, and the DHCR had denied tenant's PAR of that order. Since the apartment was now no longer subject to rent stabilization, there weren't grounds for the DHCR to process landlord's 2011 application. However, if the DHCR's prior order was overruled or reopened based on tenant's further court appeal, landlord could seek reopening its 2011 deregulation application.
