NATURE OF CLAIM

1. Claimant, Helms RC<llty Corp. (..Helms" or "Claimant") is the owner and operator

of premises known ns and located at 230 West lOlst St."CCt, New York, New York (''the

Bwlding"}.

2. On February 14, 2017, the New York. Cfty Mayor's Office of Special

Enforcement ("Mayor's Office" or "City") served seventeen (17) civil summonses on Claimant

wrongfttUy alleging Claimant unlawfully cul.vertised tlte Building for Iransient occupancy in

violation of the Multiple Dwelling Law. Only days Jater, on February 17 and February 18, 2017,

the New York City Department of Buildings ("DOB" or "CH.,) served four (4) notices of

violation on Oaimant falsely alleging that Claimant illegaliy converted rhe Building to Class

"B" transient use. However, the City knew that the appeals unit of the New York City Office of

{00237869-1}
AdministraLive Trials and Hearings ("OATH") had all'eacy determined on the merits that the

Building's certificate of occupancy "aurhorizes Class "B" SROs, a transient ose," and knew that

Helms was not in violation of law. See NYC v. Helms Realty Corp., Appeal No. 1601233

(February 2, 2017).

3. Jn March, 2017, after these summonses and notices of violation were issued, the

DOB notified Helms that it also planned to continue its prosecution of other notices of violation

(that had been adjourned pending a determination jn NYC v. Helms Realty Corp., supra) also

alleging that the Building was illegaJly converted to transient occupancy even though DOB knew

the nllegations were false as the appeals boord had detennin~d.

4. There is no justifi<lble reason for this continuous relitigation since the sole issue

a legal determination of permitted use based on the language of the certificate of occupancy -

was made, on the merits, by OATH biised on all of the evidence presented al chc hearings whicb

supported the correct determination that the Building's certificate of occupancy authorized

"Class "B" SROs" as a matter of law and the Building "'""as ond always has been n tntnsient

hotel."

5. The CiLy's actions were motivated by its in:ent to harass and inflict economic

injury on Claimani, for the collateral purposes of forcing Cltimant to cease its lawful operations

as a Class B SRO/trnnsienc hotel by making it too costly to do so, and forcing Claimant ro rent

the Building to only permanent occupants in order to help t1e City achieve ils goal of creating

affordable housing, chilling Claimant's cons1itutionaUy protected rights to free speech, and

illegally favoring certain preferred propelty owners over others. The City's harassment of

Claimant with multiple, baseless, summonses and notices of vioJatioo, intended to drive

Claimant out of tbe lawful hotel business to exact the social change it desires, is a tortious

{00237869-1} 2
perve1'Sion of process, as well as a deprivation of Claimar.t's rights under the federal and state

consLitutions to free speech, due process of law. equa. protect.ion, and protection '1gainst

excessive fines.

6. Tbe City's goal of creaticg affordable hous'.ng cannot be achieved by tortiously

inrer.fe1ing with the legal rights of SRO owners. ''Elementary and strong constitutional principles

protect private property r.ights and govern taldngs of property for public use without just

compensation. They evoJ ved 1 ro bar Gove mmen t from fore mg some people alone to /Jecu public

burdens which, in all fairness @d justice, should be bom~ by the publil' as a whole"' (Penn

Cent Trnnsp. Co. v. New York City, 438 U.S. 104, 123, 98 S.Ct. 2646, 2659, 57 L.Ed.2d 631,

quoting Armsltong v. United States. 364 U.S. 40, 49. 80 S.Ct. 1563, 1569, 4 L.Ed.2d

J554."l(empiiasis added); Seawall Associates v. City of Nev. York, 74 N. Y.2d 92 (J 989).

7. By serving these baseless summonses and notices of violation on Clajmanl, the

City is unlawfully attempting co harass Claimant, an SRO owner. into bearing the p11blic burden

of providing offord11ble housing.

8. It bears repeating that Helms C/0 nllows it to lawfully use rhe Building fo1

transient Class ~ SRO use. Indeed, on February 2, 2017, the OATH appeals unit, after

reviewing the entire record - including documentary und expert testimoninl evidence. issued a

:final decision and order, on the merits, dismissing NOV 351-513-24M alleging that. in viofaeion

of NYC Administrative Code 28-210.3, Helms "illegally used" and/or "converted" the

Building to a ltansicnt hotel oontrary to its certificate of occupancy (the "1942 C/0") and NOV

for ... transient use," in violation of NYC Ad min Code 28-30L1. ("Dismissed Violations") 1

{002~7869-1} 3
9. On appeal , OATH affirmed the hearing officer's dismissal, finding that "the CO

[certificate of occupancy] for the cited premises authorizes Class "B'' SROs, a transienl use.'' See

NYC v_ Helms ReaJty Corn . Appeal No. 1601233 (February 2, 2017) ("Final Order''). A copy of

che Final Order is annexed hereto us Exhibit "A." and copies of the Dismissed Violations are

Exhibit "B'' hereto.

IQ_ The Final Order made two very significant findfogs: (1) the 1942 C/O authorized

"Class " B" SROsn as a matter of law and (2) the Building "was und always has been a transient

hotel." The OATH appeals unit found:

"The CO authorizes 126 Class B SROS

The Boat'd finds that the CO for the cited premises authorizes
Class "B" SROs, a transient use. The CO .lists the occupancy
classifications as "Old Law Tenement" and "Single Room
Occupancy: The CO authorizes one "apartment" on the first
floor, and 21 rooms, single room occupnncy," on ench of the
second through seventh floors for a total of 126 SROs. MDL
Section 4(8)(a) provides that Class "N' dwellings included
"tenements'' and ..apartment houses." Accordingly, the occupancy
classification of "Old Law Tenement" constitutes a Class "A''
permanent-occupancy use and applies to the one apartment located
on the first floor of the building.

The occupancy classification of "Sfogle Room Occupancy" is not


specifically listed under the MDL definition of Class "A" or Class
"B" dwellings. Here, however, the 126 SROs to which "Single
Room Occupancy" applies are specified in the HPD I-Card and
records for the. premises as Class "B" anits. That Respondent
may have applied in 201 l co conve1t the 126 SROs to a smaller
number of ..Transient Hotel Rooms Class B" did not amount to an
admission that the SROs were Class "A." Rather, the Board
finds that, while no one factor is determinative, taken together
here, the existence of a watchmen's time detector, a Class J.1 fire
alarm system , consistent transient use for 70 years, payment of

744 illegully uscJ converted as a transient use. Additional daily penalties cited because more than one unir used
transiently."
NOV 35 J -513-22Z slated: Failure Lo mriintain building in code compliant manner. Failure to provide number of
required means or egress for every floor for transient use."

(0 0237869-1} 4
hotel occupancy taxes, DOF classification as a miscellaneous
hotel. and hotel directories listing the premises as a transient hotel,
establish that the premises was and always has been a transient
hotel .." (emphasis added) Id. (E"hibit ..A", p. 7). 2

11. As OATH correctly found, the Building was lawfully used and operated as a

single room occupancy hotel, renting rooms on a transient basis to tourists and others pursuant to

applicable zoning laws, Building Codes. and the Building's Certificates of Occupancy since at

least the 1942.

12. Nonetheless, in complete disregard of the Final Order issued on February 2, 20 l 7,

on or nbout February 14, 2017. the Mayor's Office wrongfully and improperly served seventeen

(17) summonses ("the Summonses") on Claimant, falsely alleging that Claimam advertised its

Building for transient occupancy in violation of NYC Administrative Code 27-287. l

"Unlawful adve1tisement for certain occupancies," which makes it unlawful ''to advertise

occupancy or use of dwelling units in a clac;s A multiple dwelling for occupancy that would

violate subdivision eight of section four of the multiple dwelling law defining a "class A"

multiple dwelling as a multiple dwelling that is occupied for permanent residence purposes."

Th.is stalute has a graduated penalty system with fines of: "one thousand dollars for the first

violation, five thousand dollars for the second violation and seven thousand five hundred dollars

for the t.h ird and subsequent violations." (A copy of the Summonses and respective affidavits of

service are annel"ed hereto as Exhibit "D").

2
OATH affirmed the dL~missal of ll1e egress-related violnlion wic.hout discussion. (Exhibit "A," footnote l) Tho
hearing officer had dismissed the violation finding ''One of the few 1hfogs the parties agreed 10 was 1hn1 the
nllegations in the remaining 1wo summonses were based on respondent's alleged illeg41l conversion of its alleged
class A building 10 1runsie111 u~e. As Th:we found above lhnl lherc was no illegal conversion 10 translcm use bccnuse
such transient use was nu1hori7.ed, I find 1hru respondent cannot be found in viola1ion of AC 38-301.1 ... "Sec NYC
v. Helms Realty, Decision dated October 7, 2016 (H. 0. Regcnbogcn), :ioocxcd hereto as Exhihil ''C," nl p.5.

[00237869 I} 5
13. The City is nware that NYC Administrative Code 27-287.l does not apply to

Helms' Building since it only prohibits "advertise{ment of] occupancy or use of dwelling units

in a class A multiple dwelling for occupnncy that would violate [MDL 4(8)) defining a 'class

A' multiple dwelling ns a m11ltiple dwelling that is oc:cuP.ied for permanent residence purgoses."

14. On two more occasions, the City disregal'ded the Final Order and, on or about
4
February 17. 20173 and Febmery 18. 2017. DOB improperly issued four (4) more Notices of

Violation to Claimant falsely alleging that Helms illegally converted its Class A multiple

dwelling co transient use and failed to provide the required means of egress - the ide11tical

allegation~ that h(Jd b11en dismissed on the muirs by OATH rwo (2) weeks prior. s (See Exhibits

"A,'' "B,'' "E," "F," and "G")

15. Notably, the Fa.ilnre to Comply NOVS that were .issued in Feb11rn.1'y, 2017, allege

a failure to file a certificate of correction for notices of violation issued in April 2016 (alleging

Helms illegally converted its Building to transient occupancy and had insufficient means of

egress -"20l6 NOVS") 6 even though the City knew thut no such certificates were required since

notices of vfolation containing the identical nllegntions had been dismissed by OATH. 1

16. Moreover, DOB's decision in March, 2017 (discussed in more detail below) not

ro withdraw the 2016 NOVS from prosecution when they were aware of the Final Order and its

3 NOVs 3.52-205-S?J and 3S2-20S-58L ("Fuilurc 10 Comply NOVS") and 1hcir a!lidavits of service an: anncxlld

{00231869-11 6
res judicnto effect, and aware that there was no justi fJcation for re-litigating lhe identical issues

already decided, is evidence that the DOB's conlinued prosecu1ion of the 2016 NOVS and the

City's intended prosecotion of the Summonses, the Failure lo Comply and IJlegal Conversion

NOVS is solely to harass Claimant.

17. The City continues to send out inspeclors, from various agencies, to issue

summonses and notices of violation to Claimant, continuing to allege, inter alia, that Helms

violated (i) NYC Administrative Code 28-210.3 by allegedly converting or using the Building

for illegal transient occupancy use~ (ii) NYC Administrative Code 28-301 by ullegedly failing

to have sufficient means of egress~ (iii) NYC Ac1rninis1mtive Code 28-201.l for allegedty

failing to comply with the commissioner's orders to correct prior notices of violation, even

though identical notices of violation were dismissed on the merHs by the City: and (iv) NYC

Adminislrative Code 27~287.l bnsed upon the alleged illegal adve1tiscment of rooms in a Clasi;

A building for transient use.

18. The City's aforementioned actions - which were without reasonable cause or

justification, contrived to economically injure and harass Claimant for the coJlateral purpose of

having Claimant cease the lawful use of its Building as a Class B SRO/transient hotel in order to

help the City achieve its goal of creating affordable housing ~ constitute a tortious abuse of

process. See Curiano \.'. SL"'~zi 63 N.Y.2d 113 ( 1984). "Abuse of process has Lhrec csse11tit1l

clcmcncs: (I) rcg.u!orly issued process, ~ithcr civil or i:riminal. (2} an intcm to .Jo harm \\'ilhout

excuse or justification, and (3) osc of Lhl! process in a pcL'Vc1'tetl manner ro obtain :.i collutend

N.Y.S.2d 635, 343 N.E.2d 278)." ld.

{00237869-1} 7
19. The City's aforementioned actions furlhc1 <.leprive Clnimmll of ils rights under tl1e

First Amc1~dment to the U.S. Constitution and Article I 8 of the N.Y.S . Constitution, including its

free speech protections and its further provision that ''110 lmv slrall be passed 10 restrain or abridge

1/ie libeny of speech or of the press". NYC Administrative Code 27-287.1 and the City's

enforcement of it against Claimant llnlawfully deprives Claimant of its right to free speech, chills

. Claimant's free speech, and constitutes an illegal restraint and prior restraint on Claimant's free

speech. The communkalions which are alleged in each of the Summonses are protected speech.

Section 27-287. l on its face and as applied to Claimant is unconstitutional under the said

constitutional provisions.

20. The City's :iforementioned ttclions further deprive Claimun1 of its rights under the

Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and Article I 6 of the N.Y .S. Constitution to Due

Process of Law in that, among other things, Section 27-287.1 is unconstitutionally vague, overbroncJ,

and imltional, facially and as applied to Claimant, :ind moreover, does not properly apply to

Claimant.

21. The City's aforementioned aclkins !'mthcr cll!priv~ Claimant of i1s l'ights under the

Fourteenth A1nendmen1 to the U.S. Cm1s1iLuli.011 and Article I I 1 of the N.Y.S. Constitution to

Equal Protection in that Section 27-287.1 discrimfoates against Claimant for no legitimate reason, the

reasons for the law are pretextual, and Claimant is being selectively prosecuted for the wrongful

purpose of depriving Claimant of its right to free speech and property use rights.

22. The City's aforementioned actions further deprive CJaimtlnt of its rights under the

Excessive Fines Clause of the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and Article I, 5 of the

New York Constitution in that, among other things, Section 27-287. l and the City's enforcement of

it seeks and imposes excessive fines which are unconstitutionally disproportional to the offense.

THE TIME. PLACE, AND MANNER IN wmcH THE CLAIM AROSE

A. The Summonses

23. On or about February 14. 2017, the Mayor's Office served the following

seventeen ( 17) Summonses on Claimant:

advertised at [website name], for use or occupancy in violation of MDL 4(8) 230 W 101 si Street

a Class A Multiple Dwelling SRO units,'' in violation of New York City Administrative Code

27-287.1. See Exhibit "D". Each of the Summonses repeats tlle same allegations; the sole

difference pertains 10 the name of the websice upon which Claimant allegedly advertised.

25. According to the affidavits of service. the Summonses were served on Claimant

on February 14. 2017 at approximately 1:30 p.m. by alternative servke pursuant co New Yo1k

Cicy Charter 1049-a(d)(2) by allegedly affixing a copy of the Summonses to the door of the

premises at the time illdicated above. (See Exhibit "D" hereto)

{00237869 I } 9
B. The Failure to Comply NOVS {and 2016 NOVS)

26. On or about February 17, 2017, the DOB served upon Claimant the Fnilure to

Comply NOVS: 352-205-571 and 352-205-SSL alleging that violations of the NYC

Administrative Code occurred on February 14, 2017. According to the affidavits of service. the

Failure to Comply NOVS were served on Claimant on February 17, 2017 ac approximately 2:15

p.m .. by leaving a copy with " Maria Ana Morel Duran" described as ..Housekeeping Manager.

(See Exhibit "E" )

27. As discussed below, each of the Failure to Comply NOVS alleges a failure to

correct the 2016 NOVS - prior violations that had not yet been adjudicated, which should have

been withdrnwn from prosecution as a result of the Finni Order. (See Exhibits "E" and "F'

hereto).

28. NOV 352-205-57J alleges "Failure to comply wirh the commissioner's order to

(002378691) 10
C. The Illegal Conversion NOVs

31. On or about February 18. 2017, the DOB served upon Claimant the Illegal

Conversion NOVs: 352204-46R and 352204-47Z alleging that violations of the NYC

Administrative Code occurred oo February 14, 2017. According to the affidavits of service, the

lllegaJ Conversion NOVS were served on Claimant on February 18, 2017 at approximately

12:45 p.m. by alternative method of service pursuant to N~w York City Chnrter 1049-a(d)(2)

32. NOV 352-204-46R alleges a violation of NYC Code 28-210.3 and states:

"Permanent dwelling used/converted for other than ,permanent residential purposes. C/O 29327

indicates premises legally approved CJai1s A SRO units. Now units 326, 541, 522, 441, 435, 344,

341, 312, 222, 743, 742, 734, 625, 622, illegaJly converted/occupied as transient use.

33. NOV 352-204-47Z allege.<: a violation of NYC Code 28-301 .J and states: "Failure

to maintain building in code compliant manner, failure Lo provide number of required means of

egress for every floor per BC lO 18.J and 27-366," which was based on the allegations of illegal

transient conversion.

D. The Cily Improperly, and Without Justification,


Refused to Withdraw the Prosecution of the 2016 NOVs

34. Tbe 2016 NOVS (Exhibit "F'), contain allegations identical to those in the

Dismissed NOVS (Exhibit "B"), Therefore, at the hearing for the 2016 NOVS on Novembel' 10,

2016, Helms requested an adjournment "because petitioner has appealed a decision on previous

cases [the Dismissed Violations] that might affect this one." 10 DOB did not object ro

Respondent's adjournment request, thereby implicitly agree.ng that'OATH's decision on the

pending appeal would affect how the pncties were going to pro:eed on the 2016 NOVS.
111
See !:;it,}' ofN~w York v. Helms Rcnlw NOV 351 696.41L, NOV 351-69642N, adjournmcnl order issued by
H.O. Morrlckon November 10, 2016- Exhibit "J" hereto.
{00237869-J) 11
35. Helms' position was that if the "previous cases" were dismissed, the 2016 NOVs

would be dismissed too as lhere was no good fairh reason to re-litigate the identical issues.

36. After the Final Order (the ..decision on previous cases") was issued on February

2, 2017 wherein OATH determined that the 1942 C/O authorized "Class "B" SROs" as a matter

of law and the Building "was and always has been a transient hotel," our office contacted DOB

on February 28, 2017 to confirm whether they were going to withdraw the prosecution of the

2016 NOVs scheduled for March 23, 2017 in light of OATH's recent decision burring their

litigation.

37. In my February 28, 20l7 phone conversation with DOB attorney, M ichael Burns,

l was informed that, while DOB was aware of the final Order and the pending March 23, 2017

hearings, DOB bad not yet decided on a course of action but would let our office know before

March 23, 2017.

38. After making several unsuccessful attempts by email and telephone to contact

DOB prior to the scheduled March 23, 2017 hearing date. Mr. Burns finally contacted me on

March 22, 2017, the day before the scheduled hearings. to inform Helms that DOB was intending

to prosecute the 2016 NOVs notwithstanding lhe clear determination made in the Final Order.

39. Indeed, at the March 23, 2017 hearing, DOB foformed the hearing officer that

"the Buildings Department is ready to go forward today, it was adjourned for today and we are

all set." This was a change from Helms' previous understanding that DOB would withdraw the

2016 NOVs fro1n prosecution should the prior violations be dismissed on the merits. 11

40. The City cannot justify its refusal to withdraw the prosecution of the 2016 NOVS.

11
The 2016 NO Vs were uhimalely adjoul'l.cd at the request of Helms due to 1hc un11vnilnbilily of counsel and arc
curn.:nlly scheduled to be tried on July 13, 2017.
{002.17869-1) 12
41. There is no legitimate purpose in l'equil'ing Helms to agajn defend the 2016

NOVs (as well as the Illegal Conversion NOVs and the Failure to Comply NOVs) which contain

che identical allegations to the Dismissed NOVs - if not for the purpose of continued harassment.

The only issue is a legal determination of permitted use based on the language of the ce1tificate

of occupancy. All of the evidence presented at the hearings for the Dismissed NOVs supporled

the correcl detennination that the 1942 C/O authorized "Class "B" SROs" as a matter of law and

the Building "was and always has been a transient hotel.''

42. The service of the Summonses, the Failure to Comply NOVS and the lllegal

Conversion NOVS on Claimant (collectively referred to as "Process"), as well as the conl.inued,

baseless prosecution of the 2016 NOVS, demonstrates that the City is unreasonably targeting

Helms without any legitimate purpose for the collateral objectives of making it so costly to

continue their legal hotel operations that they will cease doing so and rent to permanent

occupants only in order to further the City's goal of creating affordable housing on the backs of

legal SRO owners, chilling Cluimant' s conslitutionalJy protected rights to free speech and

illegally favoring certain preferred property owners over otJ1ers. These actions constitute a

tortious perversion of process as well ns n deprivation of Claimant's rights under the federal and

state constitutions to free speech, due process of law, equal protection, and protection against

AppaalNo.1601233 NYC v. Helms Realty Corp. p. 2 of7

Petitioner, the Department of Buildings {DOB), appeals from that part of a recommended master
decision dismissing against Respondent> pretnises owner, 11 Class 1 violation ofSection 28-210.3
of the Administrative Code of the City ofNew York (Code) for permanent dwelling
offered/used/converted for other than permanent residential purposes. 1 The summ,ons, dated
December 30, 2014, cites the following condition observed by the issuing officer (IO) during bis
inspection of the cited premises: 1'Certificate ofOccapaney [CO] # 29327 indicates building
legally approved as a Class A' SROs. Now units #441; 444; 625; 641; 642; 744, illegally
converted as a transient use. The summons :fu'$er indicates that daily penalties are sought
. under Code Sectioo 28202.l.

The hearing2
At the consolidated hearing, Petitioner's attorney submitted five sets of photographs taken by the
IO on the date ofhls inspections to esrablish transient occupancy, and a copy of the CO for th~
premises, issued on September 9, 1942, which lists the "Occupancy classification., as "Old Law
Tenement/Single RoolTl Occupancy."3 The CO authorizes o.ne apartment on the fust floor and
126 single room occupancies (SROs) _on the second through seventh floors (21 SR.Os on each
floor). Petitioner maintained that the CO does not allow tnmsie.nt use at the premises because,
under the Section 4{11) ofthe Multiple Dwelling Law (MDL) definition of Class "A0 multiple
dwelling, stating "[t]his class shall inolade tenements," a T~neroent/Single Room
Occupancy is a Class "A" multiple dwelling. He further argued that under amendments to the
MDL in 20 l 0, a Class '"An multiple dwelling could not include any units used transiently and

Section 28301.1, for fuilu~ to provide number of rcquJred mellllS ofegtess tor every floor for transient use. These
charges arose from the .same: inspeclio11 and were dismissed by th~ same recommended ma.s(er decision as the

unnutltorized adjournmi:'tll was la proceed in the TO's absence. At th!' ln:Rring continued on 9/30/16, the 10 was
alJowcd to remain in the hearing room 10 COll$\lll, with Pc:titioncr's attonu:ybut not to feslifY. As discussed below,

AppealNo.1601233 NYC v. Helms Realty Corp. p. 3 Of7

that Respondent's job application in2011 to convectthe2t SRO units on each floor to a smaller
number of"Transient Hotel Rooms Class B" amounted to an admission that She then-existing
transient use of the SROs was illegal.

In response, Respondent's attorney denied there was any illegal transient use at lhepremises.
He also argued that the QO authorized Cl.ass "B" transient use and that use has been consistent
ovec 70 years at the premises. He asserted that the CO lists two different uccupnncy
classifications, "Old Law Tenement" for the one Class "A" uriit, and "Single Room
Occupancy' for the 126 Class "B" SROs. He subm1tted into evidence as reflecting the Class
"B'' stBtus of the SROs the following government records.
A Department of Housing Preserv.atioo and Development (HPO) ~r4 card" for
the cited premises indicating that in I 942, CO # 29327 was issued
identifying one Class "A" aparhnent on tite first floor and 126 Clns.s 'B"
sleeping rooms on the second through seventh .floors;
A letter of approval, dated I 0/07/1992, from the New York City Fire
Department (PONY) for modification of the fire alarm system ot the
premises to Class J-1;
A letter, dated 10/1212006, from DOB Deputy General Counsel, describirl&
facrors considered by Petitioner in its detennination that an unrelated
property, whose CO identified the building as Class "A,!' was in fact a
transient hotel based on the p.resence ofa watchmans fune detector and fire
alarm system, consistent transient use, payment ofhotel oc-0upancy truces,
Department of Finance classification, and hotel directories listing the
premises as a transient hotel;
A DOB Technical Policy and Procedure Notice #4189, dated 12/31/1989,
providing that s.ny residential classification on a CO other l:han a. Class "A"
or ..Aparb:nentHotel" is classified as a J-1 occupancy;
A memorandum from DOB Assistant Commissioner, George E. Berger,
dated 02101/1988, indicating thnt the cited premises was not exempt 'ftom the
requirements for a transient hotel. and that determination of the number of
Class "A .and Class "8 units depended upon the CO, the HPD I-card, and
HPD computer printouts;
':'
Three NYC Hotel Occuponcy Tu Returns for the cited premises, showing
payment of substantial amounts ofbotel occupancy tax, and two delinquency
notices from tbe NYC Department of Finance-(DOF) requesting the filing of
such returns;
Nine sets ofFinal Assessment RoIJs from DOFJ and a DOF clas:;tfication
glossary, showing that DOF classified the cited premises as H-9, a.
"Miscellaneous Hotel";
Copies of41 pages of classified advertisements from 1974, 1975 und 1985,
advertising the cited premises to the public as the "Broadway Studio Hotel1'
and ''Broadway Studios,n with daily rates provide~;
AppealNo.1601233 NYC v. Helms Realty Corp. p. 4 of 7

Copies ofutility bills, three lettcrst and a classification table from


ConEdison. showing electricity charges llt the cited premises, oJassified EL97
non-residentiallhotel rates, since at least 1977;
HPD printouts showing the cited premises contained one Class "A" unit nnd
126 Class uB" units; and
A photograph of a stairwell exit sign showing that ReSpondent had the
required exit sign for a ttonsient hotel.
Respondent's attomeyalso presented the testimony ofRonny LivJan, fomter Deputy
Commissioner fur Technical Affairs at DOB, who was certified by Ute hearing officer as an
expect witness. Mr. Livian testified as follows. (1) The occupancy classification indicated on
the CQ for the premises was unclear as to legal occupnnc.y because SROs can be either
permanent residential Class "A" or transient use Clas6 "B." (2) When a CO is unclear as to
occupancy, DOB considers additional factors, inchtdlng, but not limited to, other agency
records, to make such classification. The "I-card" proyjded the most persuasive evidence of
transient use, as it described one Chlss "A,, unit and 126 Class u13u units. (3) The CO for the
premises also indicated a sprinkler system, watch.man's time detector, and interior fire alarm
system, all of which were requirements for o transient hotel- occupancy clnsslficntion J-1. In
pnrticutar~ that Respondent was required to install a modified J-1 fire alann system at the
premises verifies that DOB olassified the building as having Class "B" SROs, as Respondent
would not have installed such system at great expense if not required by Jaw. Instead it did so
in reliance on DOB7S .classification of the building as J-1.

Under cross-examination. Mr. Livian acknowledged that no one elthibit or factor established
legal occuplillcy at the premises. He nevertheless ma1ntained that, f n bis expert opinion, the
totality ofthe evidence produced by Respondent established that the cited premises bas alw.oys
been a transient hotel.

In his decision dismissing the violations, the hearing officer credited Petitioner's evidence as
establishing transien.t use on the date ofinspection. Nonelhel~s, he concluded that Petitioner
failed to prove transient use ofthe oited SROs constituted convei:sion of a peroJanent dwelling
for other than residential purposes. WithNYCv. Lexington Associates, LLC 4 as a "roadmap,"
be found as foUows: Based on a totality of the evidence in the rei:ord, the CO authorized one
Class "A" unit on the first floor and 21 Class "B" SROs on each of the second through seventh
floors (for a total of126 Class 0 B" SR.Os). The occupancy clnssification "Single Room
Occupancy" on the CO applies to the 126 SROs as Class "B" units as specified on the I-card.
Petitioner had offered no evidence io prove the cited SR9s wece Class "A" dwelling units or
support its contention that reference to Class ''B" units in the I-card andHPD records x;neant
that the SROs were configured es Class "B,. units withina Class ''A" occupancy. The 2010
amendments to the MDL aad the: case law construing those amcnclments were therefore
inapplicable.

+Appeal No. 1600696, Sep1cmber 8, 2016.


AppealNo.1601233 NYC v. Helms Realty Corp. p. 5of7

Issues on appeal
The issues on appeal are whether: (1) tho hearing officer i:roproperlyprecluded the !O's
testimony after adjourning an eatlier hearing so he could appear; and, ifnot (2) whether
Petitioner established a violation ofCode Section 2s~2 10.3; and ifso> (3) whether Respondent
established a valid defense to the violatiM.

Applicable law
Section ~kS2. lofTitle 48 of the Roles ofthe City of~ew York provides in pertinent part:
(d) [A]bsent extraordinary circumstances, a hearing will not be adjourned for the sole
purpose of enabling the officer who issued the notice of violation to attend if (l) the
hearing has already been adjourned for the sole purpose of enabling the officer who
issued the notice of violation to attend; (ii} the respondent timely appears on the
adjoumed hearing date at the specific board office location indic.atEid on the adjournment
order; and (iii) the issuing officer does not timely appear at the specific board office
indicated on the adjournment order ,
(e) An adjournment will sometimes be appropriate because ofeictraordimuy circumstances.
Under such circumstances, a petitioning agency may be entitled to an adjournment that
would not otherwise be permitted. To ask for an adjournment because ofeictraordinazy
circumstanees, the agency must file with the board a written statement of the claimed
circumstances, accompanied by any 5\lpportiog documents. The agency must also serve a.
copy of its request and any supporting documents on the ~ondent. The requc.-st must be
made as soon as is reasonable aiter the agency becomes aware of the circumstances it
claims to be extr~ordinacy, b11t in no event more than fi(re days after the agency becomes
aware ofthose circumsto.nces.

Code Sectioll 28210.3 provides, in pertinent part:


[D]welliog units within . . a class A multiple dwelling . shltll be used only for
permanent residence purposes. , It shall be unlawful for any person or eptity who owns
or occupies a multiple dwelling or dwelling unit classified for permanent residence
purposes to use or Ot?Cllpy, offer or pennit the use or occupancy or to convert for use or
occupancy such multiple dwelling or dweJling unit for other than permanent residence
purposes.
MDL Section 4{8)(a) provides, in pertinent part:
A "class A" multiple dwelling is a multiple dwe1ling that is occupied for permanent
residence purposes. this class shall include tenements, flnt houses, mai,sonefte
apartments, apartment houses, apartment hotels .. A class A multiple dwelling shall
only be used for permanent resi~ence purposes. For the purposes ofthJs definition,
"pennaneot residence putp!>ses" shall consist ofocoupancy of a dwelling unit by the
same natural person or family for thirty consecutive days or more and a person or family
so occupying a. dwelling unit shall be referred to herein as the permanent occupants of
such dwelling unit
AppeafNo.1601233 NYC v. Helms Realty Corp. p. 6of7

MDL Section 4(9) provides, in pertinent po.rt:


A "c}DSs B" multiple dwelijng is a multiple dwelling which is occupjed, as a rule
transiently, as the more or less temporary abode ofindividuals or families who are lodged
with or without meals. This class shall include hotels, lodging houses, rooming houses,
boarding houses, boarding schools, famished room houses .. .

The appeal
On appeal, Petitione.rs attomey argues as follows: (1) Respondent did not rebut the pdma facie
case that established th~ illegal transient use of a building iotended for permanent occupancy.
The CO for the building is properly interpreted as requiring Class "N' pennanent use ofthe
building. The CO's description of the building as an -.~Old Law Tenement, Single R.oom
Occupancy" indicates that the premises is a Class "A,. multiple dwelling to be used for
pi:mument occupancy purposes. The hearing officer's reliance on Lexington Associates was
improper, as that case provides an inaccurate roadmap fora hearing officer in deciding the
meaning of an "Old Lnw Tenement, Single Room Occupancy'' on a CO. Respondent relied 011
documentary evidence not commonly allowed to prove the legal oc-cupanoy of th,e premises.
(2) Under the Section 4(8)(a) ofthe MDL, ~anent use" ofn building means occupancy of30
days of more. Any assertion ofRespondent's continuing right:; ofu1lowing stays ofless than 30 .
days was extinguished by the 201 Oamendments to the MDL.5 (3) Because tho pro1u1>ition
against the IO testifying in either the direct case or the rebuttal case unduly prejudiced Petitioner,
the case should be remanded for a new hearing.

Respondent answered the appeal, arguing that (1) documentary evidence and expert testimony
established that "Single Room Occupancy" on the CO applied to the 126 SRO's as Class "B"
units and (2) the IO's testimony was properly precluded after multiple adjournments.

The Soard1 s determfnation


Haviag fully reviewed the record, the Board finds that the hearing officer's decision is supported
by the Jaw and a preponderanco of the evidence and denJes tbe appeal.

No error in precluding /O's testimony


Petitioner's case under Code Se<:tion 28-2 J0.3 consisted of the !Ots swom statements on the
summons and photographs of the cited location taken on the date ofinspecti.on. The hearing
officer Qredited the lO!s sworn statements an~ photographs. finding Petitioner established that
the cited premises, advertised to the public as the Broadway Studio Hotel and Broadway Studios,
was being used for transient occupancy. The Board generally defurs to n hearing officer's
credibility findings, and finds no basis to disturb those findings here. As to Petitioner's cJaim
that the hearing officer improperly brured.the IO's testimony at the hearing in presenting lts. ease
and to rebut Mr. Livfan's expert testimony, the Board finds that prolu"bition was immaterial in
both respects. Petitioner established its prima fac{e case without the IO's testimony and has
made no assertlon at the hearing or on appeal that the 10 was a p~rson authorized by DOB to

make any decisions about the legal use &ltd occupancy of the cited location, the subject of Mr.
Livians testimony.
The CO authorizes 126 Class 118 11 SROs
The Boe.rd finds thot the CO for the cited premises authorizes Class 4'B11 SROs, a transient use.
The CO lists the occupancy olessitications as "Old Law Tenement" and 11Sjngle Room
Occupancy." The CO nuthorlzes one "apartment on the first floor, lllld 21 "rooms, single room
the
occupanoy," on each of second through seventh floors, for a total of 126 SROs. MDL
Section 4(8Xa) provides that Class "A" dwel~ includ& "tenr.ments'' and apartment house.s."
Accordingly, the occupancy cl~sificatioo of"Old LawTenement11 constitutes a CJass "A"
permanent-occupancy use nnd applies to the one apartment located on the first floor of the
building.

The occupancy classification of"Sirigle Room OccupancyH is not specifically listed under the
MDL definition of Class uA" or Class "B" dwellings. Here, however, the 126 SROs to which
"Single Room Occupancy" applies are specified in the HPD I-Card and records for the premises
as Class u9t units. That Respondent may have applied in 201 l to convert the 126 SROs to a
smaller number of ''Transient Hotel Rooms Class B., did not amount to an admission that the
SROs were Class "A." Rather, the Boacd finds that, w'hile no one factor is detenninative, taken
together here, the existence of a watchman's time detector, a Class r-i fire alarm ~ystem.,
consistent transient use for 70 year.5, payment of hotel occupancy taxes, DOF classification as a
miscellaneous hotel, and hotel directories listing the premises as a transient hotel, establish that
the premises was end has always been a transient hotel Further, Petitioner's attorney failed to
offer any document that lists the cited SROs as Class "A" dwellings. Accordingly, the Board
finds that CO authorized transient use at the premises.

Amendments to the MDL not relevant


Petitioner's attorney furthermore provided no evidence or authority to support his contention that
the transient use ofthe Class "B" units referred to in ResP.ondent>s exhibits occurred within a.
Class ''A., multiple dwelling. The 2010 amendments to the MDL definition of Class "A"
multiple dwelling barring such.use arc therefore inapplicable.~ The cases cited hy Petitioner's
attorney are likewise inapplicable as th~y all involve the partiai illegal transient use of Class "A0
multiple dwell~gs.

Accordingly, Ute Board affimu; the hearing officer's disntissol of the summonses.

6 MOL SecUon4(8)(a) provides, in penioent part, that ''(aJ clnss A multiple dwolling shall be onJy be used for
