Landlord's Demolition Application Reopened

Landlord asked the DHCR for permission to terminate the tenancies of five rent-stabilized apartments in order to demolish the building. The DRA ruled against landlord, finding that landlord didn't comply with requests for additional information, including a breakdown of demolition and construction costs, proof of service of tenancy termination notices, proof of funds in the form of a commitment letter from a financial institution, and a segregated bank account. Landlord appealed, and the case was reopened. Landlord showed that it did respond to the DRA's requests for information, submitting documentation by certified mail addressed to the correct DHCR docket number. The DRA would review the records on remand.
