Hello, I purchased a Brownstone a few years ago that has ten units including my own. I rent the nine (Class B) on the upper floors while living in the only Class A, but it is an absolute nightmare. They are all SROs and the building is Rent Stabilized. I finally acquired a Certificate of Non Harassment a while ago after an epic battle with HPD. However, ever since the beginning it has been a constant war with my tenants who are impossible to evict with the regulations, and I am tired of the struggle. What I am looking for desperately is someone who can tell me how to remove Rent Stabilization. I see from the definition that it applies to buildings built between 1947 and 1974 and that have “six units or more”, and I was wondering if I were to convert the nine units that I rent down to five or less, would that remove the Rent Stabilization? If not, is there another way? Someone please help! Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
