Landlord Can't Amend 2002 Registration for Claimed Error

Landlord asked the DHCR in 2019 to amend a 2002 rent registration for an apartment that it claimed was mistakenly registered as temporarily exempt instead of permanently exempt. The DRA ruled against landlord, who appealed and lost. Landlord claimed that this was a clerical error and that it had provided full information to the DRA. The DHCR noted that registration amendments seeking to remove apartments due to high-rent vacancy deregulation or any other reason claimed as permanent exemption weren't allowed. Landlord could correct any previous error in the next registration cycle but should keep all relevant rent records on file. Rent registration amendment, as envisioned by RSC amendments in 2014, didn't confer unlimited, open-ended rights on landlord.
