West Village Houses: Units Ruled Not Stabilized Despite Receipt of J-51 Benefits
Ever since Roberts v Tishman Speyer Props., 13 NY3d 270 (2009), it has been an article of faith that a building's receipt of J-51 benefits means that all of the apartments therein automatically become rent-stabilized. If those apartments were already rent-stabilized, they become, under the logic of Roberts, stabilized a second time. The second layer of rent stabilization has the effect of barring luxury deregulation, at least until J–51 benefits expire. See, Schiffren v Lawlor, 101 AD3d 456 (1st Dept 2012).
In West Village Houses Renters Union v WVH Hous. Dev. Fund, Sup. Ct. NY Co. Index No. 118482/06 (Oct. 19, 2018), Justice Barbara Jaffe held that the tenants of 32 unsold cooperative units at the West Village Houses complex were not rent-stabilized, even though their buildings had received J-51 benefits.
