I would like to know if it is possible to get an apartment reclassified as RS if more than 4 years have passed since it was exempt.
My apartment was RS for 4 years, ending in 2009 according to rent history obtained from DHCR. The owner filed that this was exempt due to substantive rehabilitation in 2009, however I have collected evidence that I think shows this to be false, or at least does not meet the DHCR definition.
I am writing a letter to DHCR asking for an administrative decision as well as filing an over charge complain, with plenty of photos and evidence to support my case.
Since it is more than 4 years, I would like to know if I am wasting my time or not.
