Court of Appeals of New York

In a case involving landlord-defendants who sought to recover possession of rent-stabilized apartments on grounds of owner-occupancy, judgment, holding that landlord-defendants' plan to recover was governed by the "owner occupancy provision" rather than the "market withdrawal provision" of the Rent Stabilization Code, is affirmed where: landlords may not recover the stabilized apartment units unless they establish in Civil Court (at holdover proceedings against tenant-plaintiffs) their good faith intention to recover possession of the subject apartments for the owner's personal use as the primary residence.
