An important read for all New Yorkers. While relief has been given to tenants on their rents, and the housing court operates at a much slower and limited pace, attention must be given to landlords and property managers as real estate taxes, water charges and maintenance costs have not been adequately addressed by COVID-relief packages and government orders.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo and President Trump made sure to protect tenants by banning evictions during the pandemic, but public officials have done almost nothing for property owners. That’s inviting disas…

Huge win for Layliev Law PC and it’s Client this year.
We successfully regained control of a three family home in Jamaica Queens, which was illegally converted into 11 separate units.
This saved the property owner from having to issue rent stabilized leases to the illegal units, and allowing the building to continue free market rents.
In New York, if a 2-3-4 family home is rented out with six or more separate tenants or rooms, legal or illegal, and the building was built before 1969, it can be considered rent stabilized.
We were able to argue that (i) issuing rent stabilized leases in this building would actually create “LEGAL IMPOSSIBILITIES” and (ii) the first rent stabilized rents were actually market rents and NOT acceptable to the tenants.

Property owners and managers might be able to create huge profits by renting individual rooms instead of an entire apartment, but must be aware of the severe and long term consequences for the building which could cripple future rental cash flow for the building even for future owners. This would also make the property very difficult to sell to future investors.

NYC PASSES MORE LAWS AFFECTING THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY
Last year, NYC started the “Certificate of No Harassment” program which made it very difficult (1-2 year process) for building owners to get permits and plans approved for construction while the city checks whether the Owner ever harassed its residential tenants, and almost impossible to get permits if they were guilty of harassment.
This program will now apply to commercial landlord too, with higher fines (up to $50,000) as well as denial of building permits and plans by DOB.

The New York City Council on Wednesday approved a bill that broadens the definition of commercial tenant harassment and hikes the fines against landlo

Last week, New York passed a new law which requires that in all real estate transactions, an LLC must disclose the names of all of their owners. The state hopes to use this law to enforce violations, force repairs, and prevent money laundering.

The owners of certain residential properties in New York can no longer shield their identities from the state using anonymous LLCs. Legislation sig
