Tishman Speyer Properties, L.P., the Court of Appeals, by a 4-2 margin, ruled that the current and former owners of the Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village housing complexes in Manhattan “were not entitled to take advantage of the luxury deregulation provisions of the Rent Stabilization Law ' while simultaneously receiving tax benefits under the City of New York's J-51 program.”
Unanswered Questions
