§ 41-19 Grandfathered Tenants in Homeownership Affordable Housing.

RCNY § 41-19

A rental Building that qualifies for Preservation Homeownership Affordable Housing or Substantial Rehabilitation Homeownership Affordable Housing may convert to Homeownership Affordable Housing. Upon conversion to Homeownership Affordable Housing, tenants in legal occupancy in such a Building who do not wish to purchase a Homeownership Affordable Housing Unit will be treated the same as Grandfathered Tenants in rental Affordable Housing. Such Grandfathered Tenants will also retain the right to purchase their Dwelling Unit. When a Grandfathered Tenant chooses to vacate a Homeownership Affordable Housing Unit, such unit must be sold to an Eligible Buyer.
