Sublease Began When Building Was Co-op

August 31, 2001

LVT Number: 15215

(Decision submitted by Great Neck attorney Kim S. Winn, who represented the landlord.) Tenant filed a fair market rent appeal after she moved into an apartment on July 1, 1999. Landlord claimed that the apartment wasn't rent stabilized. The DRA ruled for landlord and dismissed the case. The building was converted to a cooperative in 1990. The building was still a co-op when tenant moved in and was given a co-op sublease by the proprietary lessee. The building was deconverted from a co-op to rent stabilized on Aug. 31, 2000, but this was after tenant's co-op sublease began.
