Good Cause Eviction Law

https://www.nixonpeabody.com/insights/alerts/2024/04/22/new-york-enacts-good-cause-eviction-law

On April 20, 2024, New York enacted the Good Cause Eviction Law (Good Cause), which dramatically impacts the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants in New York by limiting evictions, requiring lease renewals, and capping rent increases for most market rate apartments in New York City, and potentially, other villages, towns, or cities state-wide.  Good Cause is effective immediately and will apply to all new leases and renewal leases, unless exempted, in New York City and to any other villages, towns, or cities that chose to opt-in to the law.

2.                  DHCR Administrative proceedings – While we have been doing work for our clients at DHCR and other administrative agencies since our firm opened in 1992, we have recently revised and ramped-up our Administrative Law Department. Our experienced Paralegal, Blanca Zuna, is the point person in our office coordinating the intake of cases, collection of required documentation, and the calendaring of deadlines.  All of our attorneys have extensive DHCR experience.  The attorney assigned will work with Blanca and John Bianco to assure the timely submission of a detailed response to all proceedings, including those involving the T.P.U., Rent Overcharge, Rent Reduction, and Rent Restoration applications.

3.                  E.C.B. (Environmental Control Board) & O.A.T.H. (Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings) is an administrative court that conducts hearings on violations, summonses and tickets issued by City agencies, including the Department of Buildings (DOB), the Fire Department of New York (FDNY), Department of Sanitation of New York (DSNY), and Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Our firm represents property owners at OATH hearings who have been issued violations, summonses and tickets by the above agencies and fight for the minimum fines.
