Petitioner Regina Metropolitan Co., LLC. (landlord) is the owner and landlord of the residential apartment building located at 27 West 96th Street in Manhattan. Effective during the 1999-2000 tax year, landlord began receiving J-51 tax benefits, and it continued to do so until 2013. The building was subject to rent stabilization before, and independent of, the receipt of such benefits. In 2003, when the tenant of the subject apartment vacated, the monthly regulated rent was $2,096.47, above the then applicable $2,000 threshold for vacancy deregulation. Landlord set the market rate rent for the subsequent tenant at $4,500. Petitioner tenants (tenants) moved into the building pursuant to a lease for the period August 1, 2005 to August 1, 2007, at a monthly rent of $5,195. The lease stated on its face that the apartment was not subject to rent regulation.
