RCNY § 26-13
(a)There shall be a Commercial Rent Restructuring Appeals Committee which shall consist of the Assistant Commissioner of the Division of Property Management, the Assistant Commissioner of the Division of Relocation Operations and one person designated by HPD's General Counsel. An Assistant Commissioner may be represented on the Appeals Committee by an individual designated by such Assistant Commissioner who reports directly to such Assistant Commissioner, provided that such designee did not also serve as a designee in the Commercial Rent Restructuring Committee's decision to set the rent which is appealed from.
(b)The tenant of a commercial unit for which a new rent has been determined shall have the right to state their objections to the Appeals Committee in writing. Such objections may be received at any time up to 60 days after the effective date of the rent increase. However, the filing of such objections shall not postpone the effective date of the new rent, or of any other action that HPD may take with regard to the commercial unit.
