On November 24, 1976, the board ordered a general adjustment increasing maximum rents for all controlled units, and on December 16, 1976, the board promulgated Regulation 11 to implement that order. “Regulation 11” provided that the adjustment would be effective January 1, 1977 (§ 12[D]), but that landlords would hold in escrow the amount of rents attributable to the increase until February 28, 1977 (§ 3[C]). It further provided that the adjustment would be “subject to the . . . condition” that “[a]s of January 1, 1977, the building . . . shall comply with all laws governing conditions of habitability” (§ 5[A][3]), and that, if this condition were not met, “the landlord shall not be entitled” to the adjustment (§ 5[B][1]) and that the board could order the landlord to refund to tenants any increase already collected (§§ 5[B][2], 6[A][l][b]).
