Length of Stay.
28 RCNY § 13-05
in effect§ 13-05 Length of Stay.
The length of a stay shall be set by the Department and shall be for a period or periods of time that will provide the new owner with a reasonable time to achieve correction of each violation which is the subject of the application for a stay. In any case, the length of such stay or stays shall be no less than the time allowed by classification pursuant to § 27-2115(a) of the Housing Maintenance Code, said time running from the date of the new owner's application for a stay. In determining the appropriate length of time for a stay, the Department may consider:
(a) The time required for correction;
(b) The nature, classification, and estimated cost of repair of outstanding violations, as well as the length of time such violations have remained uncorrected;
(c) The proposed course of action which the new owner will undertake to achieve correction;
(d) Any actions the new owner might have already taken to correct violations prior to the application for a stay; and
(e) The financial ability of the new owner to achieve correction of violations.
