Hi all,
I live in formally rent stabilized unit, and requested my rent history from the DHCR.
In short: it was rent stabilized back in the 80s, then was under a temporary exemption ("owner occupied / employee") for many years (I'm guessing the super lived in my unit?), and then went straight to "permanently exempt" in the 2000s ("high rent vacancy").
So my question is, can the landlord go straight from a temporary exemption to being priced out of stabilization, without having to re-institute a rent stabilized status first?
At first I figured this was probably legal, but these two articles made me think there's a chance I could have a case:

Appreciate getting some opinions on this -- thanks in advance!!
