QDoes adding an outdoor exclusive garden or recreational space to a vacant rent-stabilized apartment permit me to increase the rent of that stabilized unit? How would I know if this addition would make the resulting apartment a new apartment sufficient to justify a first rent? Is adding outdoor space, a “significant” increase in size so as to qualify for a first rent?
