regulations, including those which are contained in this Article,

owners’ residential rental units from rent control.15 Accordingly,
the trial court erred in concluding that the Board was equitably
estopped from denying that the residential rental units that were
the subject of removal permits were permanently exempt from
rent control. As that was the sole basis for the grant of the
petitions for writ of administrative mandamus, the trial court
likewise erred by granting the petitions on this ground.
