Landlord asked the DHCR for permission to refuse renewal of tenant’s lease and proceed for eviction based on building demolition. The DRA ruled against landlord, finding that it hadn’t submitted plans for the work at issue, approved by the appropriate government agency, showing that the work constituted a demolition. DOB-approved plans submitted by landlord didn’t include removal of the roof and therefore failed to meet the Rent Stabilization Code’s demolition criteria.
