HPD recently halted plans by an owner of an Upper West Side residential building to convert 69 rent-stabilized apartments into high-end apartments. The denial occurred after an administrative law judge ruled that the owner was harassing rent-stabilized tenants in a building that also has 131 market-rate apartments. The Colorado-based owner had ignored residents’ requests for basic maintenance and invented unpaid rent claims, wrote the judge of the city Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings in the Jan. 5 ruling.
