(2) Where an application for a rent adjustment pursuant to section 2522.4(a)(2) of this Title has been granted, and collection of such rent adjustment commenced prior to the issuance of the rent reduction order, the owner will be permitted to continue to collect the rent adjustment regardless of the effective date of the rent reduction order, notwithstanding that such date is prior to the effective date of the order granting the adjustment. In addition, regardless of the effective date thereof, a rent reduction order will not affect the continued collection of a rent adjustment pursuant to section 2522.4(a)(1) of this Title, where collection of such rent adjustment commenced prior to the issuance of the rent reduction order. However, an owner will not be permitted to collect any increment pursuant to section 2522.4(a)(8) of this Title that was otherwise scheduled to go into effect after the effective date of the rent reduction order.
(b) Proceedings pending on the effective date of this code involving tenant complaints of owners' failure to provide hotel services shall be determined in accordance with the RSL and Hotel Industry code in effect immediately prior to such effective date of this code.
