Narrative Opinion Summary
The Court of Appeals of the State of New York affirmed the order of the Appellate Division in the case of 525 Park Avenue Associates v. Salvador De Hoyas, concluding that the filing of a Rent Stabilization Code application does not allow a landlord to deny a lease renewal based on nonprimary residence claims unless a timely notice of intent has been provided. This ruling aligns with previous case law, specifically Golub v. Frank and Crow v. 83rd St. Assoc., reinforcing that the notice requirement under the Rent Stabilization Code remains applicable and has not been repealed by the Omnibus Housing Act. The decision was made on December 19, 1986, with costs awarded to the respondent. All judges concurred with the memorandum's reasoning.
