APARTMENTS RECEIVING TAX BENEFITS PURSUANT TO RPTL 421-g ARE SUBJECT TO THE LUXURY VACANCY DECONTROL PROVISIONS OF THE NYC RENT STABILIZATION LAW AND WERE PROPERLY DEREGULATED (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined plaintiffs’ apartments, which received tax benefits pursuant to Real Property Tax Law 421-g are subject to the luxury vacancy decontrol provisions of the NYC Rent Stabilization Law. Therefore plaintiffs’ apartments were properly deregulated and were not subject to rent stabilization:

​

Except for condominiums and cooperatives, dwellings in buildings that receive tax benefits pursuant to Real Property Tax Law § 421-g are subject to rent stabilization for the entire period the building is receiving 421-g benefits (Real Property Tax Law § 421-g[6]). However, 421-g buildings are subject to the luxury vacancy decontrol provisions of Rent Stabilization Law of 1969 [Administrative Code of City of NY] § 26-504.2(a), unlike buildings that receive tax benefits pursuant to Real Property Tax Law §§ 421-a and 489.

Real Property Tax Law § 421-g does not create another exemption to Rent Stabilization Law § 26-504.2(a). Supreme Court essentially interpreted Real Property Tax Law § 421-g(6)’s prefatory phrase “Notwithstanding the provisions of any local law for [rent stabilization]” to mean “Notwithstanding [the luxury decontrol] provisions of any local law.” However, “[a] statute or legislative act is to be construed as a whole, and all parts of an act are to be read and construed together to determine the legislative intent”… .Accordingly, the prefatory phrase, which also appears identically in RPTL 421-a(2)(f), must be read in tandem with the coverage clause of that section. The prefatory phrase and the coverage clause were both necessary to extend rent stabilization to certain dwellings in buildings receiving 421-g benefits. Kuzmich v 50 Murray St. Acquisition LLC, 2018 NY Slip Op 00336, First Dept 1-18-18
