As we noted above, the Rent Control Law enumerates the powers and duties of the Board, which include authority to issue removal permits, but not to revoke such permits. Even assuming for purposes of this opinion that the Board was not authorized to revoke removal permits, the Board did not *44revoke such permits in 2016. As the Board concedes, the removal permits remain valid and the owners can thus remove the rental units from the rental housing market by demolition, conversion, or other means. Rather, the Board, in 2016, changed its interpretation of section 1803(t) to conclude, correctly, that a removal permit did not exempt a rental unit from rent control.
