"An illusory tenancy is defined generally as a residential leasehold created in a person who does not occupy the premises for his or her own residential use and subleases it for profit, not because of necessity or other legally cognizable reason" (Matter of Badem Bldgs. v Abrams, 70 NY2d 45, 52-53), or can be created if the effect of the sublease is to, directly or indirectly, evade the requirements of the Rent Stabilization Code (see Matter of Avon Furniture Leasing v Popolizio, 116 AD2d at 284; see also Primrose Mgt. Co. v Donahoe, 253 AD2d 404, 405).
