Real Property
ALJ recommends that Loft Board grant tenant protected occupant status.
ALJ Richard found that a loft tenant established protected occupancy under
the new Loft Law amendments, despite the fact that she, having taken a
job in Michigan, lived in the loft unit only intermittently during the
window period. The ALJ considered that (1) the tenant had lived in her
loft unit for many years prior to the new window period, and (2) nonetheless
maintained her residency of the unit during the window period by keeping
her personal belongings in the loft and returning home when she could.
