How Can I Remove a Property from Rent Stabilization in NYC?

[Isadore Nelson]

Hi all,

I’m an investor looking to understand how to legally remove a property or unit from rent stabilization in New York City. If I purchase a building with rent-stabilized tenants, are there any legal ways to de-stabilize the units, especially after doing significant renovations or rehabbing the property? What criteria or requirements must be met for this to happen, and what’s the process I need to follow to ensure compliance with the law?

Thanks in advance for any insights or experiences!
