"Fraud consists of 'evidence [of] a representation of material fact, falsity, scienter, reliance and injury' (Vermeer Owners v Guterman, 78 NY2d 1114, 1116 [1991]; see e.g. Ambac Assur. Corp. v Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., 31 NY3d 569 [2018]; Pasternack v Laboratory Corp. of Am. Holdings, 27 NY3d 817, 827 [2016]). In this context, willfulness means 'consciously and knowingly charg[ing] . . . improper rent' (Matter of Lavanant v State Div. of Hous. & Community Renewal, 148 AD2d 185, 190 [1st Dept 1989]; see Matter of Old Republic Life Ins. Co. v Thacher, 12 NY2d 48, 56 [1962] [interpreting "willful" in a regulatory context to mean "intentional and deliberate"])."
