On June 14, 2019, New York State enacted the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (L 2019, ch 36) (HSTPA). This legislation made comprehensive changes to the rent laws. As relevant here, Part F of the HSTPA amended RSL § 26-516 and CPLR 213-a, which govern claims of rent overcharge and the statute of limitations for bringing such claims. The amendments to the rent laws that went into effect on the same day that the judgment was entered in this rent overcharge case apply to any claims pending on that date. Because plaintiff's overcharge claims were pending on the effective date of the HSTPA, the changes made therein are applicable here (see Dugan v London Terrace Gardens, L.P., 177 AD3d 1, 10-11 [1st Dept 2019]).
