Where a tenant has relinquished their right to purchase their unit pursuant to section
7-64(d) an owner who has received a conditional/preliminary permit may sell the unit to any other purchaser prior to issuance of a final conversion permit only under the condition that the new owner takes the unit subject to the tenant’s rights under this ordinance including, but not limited to, the right to remain in their unit for the remainder of any notice period, payment of relocation expenses and the duty to find comparable housing. In order to effectuate such a sale the owner must provide to the review board and the tenant a sworn document signed by the then current and future owners stating that the purchaser stands in the shoes of the prior owner and that they must fully comply with all obligations of the owner under this ordinance.

If at any point a tenant or an owner believes the other has not complied with their obligations under this ordinance, they may request a hearing before the review board. The review board will notify the tenant, all other building tenants also undergoing conversion and the owner of the time and date of the hearing. The party that requested the hearing must appear and the other party may appear at such hearing and may testify.
