THE SO-CALLED “LUXURY DEREGULATION” PROVISION OF THE NYC RENT STABILIZATION LAW WAS REPEALED AS OF JUNE 14, 2019; APARTMENTS WITH LEASES IN EFFECT ON THE REPEAL DATE WHICH, PRIOR TO THE REPEAL, HAD BEEN ORDERED TO BECOME DEREGULATED, WERE NO LONGER ELIGIBLE FOR DEREGULATION AS OF JUNE 14, 2019 (CT APP).

The Court of Appeals, in a full-fledged opinion by Judge Troutman, determined that the NYC Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) properly interpreted a provision of the Rent Stabilization Law which repealed the so-called “luxury deregulation” of rent stabilized residences. Prior to the operative date of the repeal, June 14, 2019, landlords could deregulate apartments if the tenant’s income exceeded the statutory threshold for two years:

Our primary task on this appeal is statutory interpretation. Specifically, we are asked to determine whether the Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) properly interpreted part D of the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (HSTPA)—repealing so-called “luxury deregulation” of rent stabilized residences—as applying to apartments that, prior to the repeal, were ordered to become deregulated upon expiration of the tenants’ leases, which would not expire until after the effective date of the repeal. We answer that question in the affirmative and hold that, contrary to petitioner’s contention, DHCR’s interpretation of part D as eliminating luxury deregulation for an apartment owned by petitioner was proper and did not constitute an impermissible retroactive application. Matter of 160 E. 84th St. Assoc. LLC v New York State Div. of Hous. & Community Renewal, 2024 NY Slip Op 06377, CtApp 12-19-24
