New York City's rent stabilization law has long permitted a building's owner to recover possession of an apartment when the owner seeks to use the apartment as a primary residence for himself or members of his immediate family.

In last month's article, we explored the many issues that involve the court-appointed valuation/financial expert. Many of the problems such experts encounter are the result of a lack of clarity and specificity in the order appointing them, and a general lack of guidelines for the expert to follow.

Let us now look at the problems and issues related to the appointment of a valuation/financial expert, and focus on the resolutions recommended by the Commission.
