In November 2021, Liggett brought a lawsuit alleging that the stipulation is void as against public policy, and that because the stipulation led in short order to the deregulation of the apartment, the deregulation was invalid and the apartment remains rent-stabilized. Lew Realty moved to dismiss, contending that the stipulation is enforceable and the deregulation proper. Supreme Court denied the motion, holding that the stipulation is unenforceable to the extent that it waives the protections of the rent laws.
