In the event that the Owner and HPD agree upon a Project Plan that incorporates the terms of an HPD or New York City Housing Development Corporation (“HDC”) term sheet then in effect, then the acquisition cost of the Property shall be recognized in accordance with the terms of such term sheet. Should HPD and the Owner mutually agree that they are unable to reach agreement on the Project Plan, then the Owner and HPD may seek to modify the terms of this Section 6 and of Section 7 below; provided, that, any such modification shall require the prior written consent of HPD and Owner; provided, further, that, through February 20, 2025, notwithstanding any modification to the contrary, in no event shall the number of Affordable Units be less than at least fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Units constructed on the Property upon the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7 below. In the event that any HPD Assistance obtained by Declarant is restricted by law for use on properties owned by a housing development fund company formed pursuant to Article 11 of the New York State Private Housing Finance Law (an “HDFC”), then Declarant shall transfer legal title of the Property to an HDFC; provided, that, Declarant may retain the beneficial ownership interest in the Property.
7. Eligible Tenants and Rents for Regulated Units.
(i) Owner shall lease each Regulated Unit to an Eligible Tenant determined as follows:
(a) No less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Units shall be leased to 40% AMI Tenants (“40% AMI Units”), no less than ten percent (10%) of the Units shall be leased to 80% AMI Tenants (“80% AMI Units”), no less than ten percent (10%) of the Units shall be leased to 100% AMI Tenants (“100% AMI Units”), and no less than five percent (5%) of the Units shall be leased to 135% AMI Tenants (“135% AMI Units”). No Unit may be counted multiple times for the purpose of meeting the aforesaid percentages.
(b) A 40% AMI Unit shall be leased to a 40% AMI Tenant for an Actual Rent equal to the lesser of (1) 30% of 40% of AMI and (2) the Legal Rent as of such date.
(c) An 80% AMI Unit shall be leased to an 80% AMI Tenant for an Actual Rent equal to the lesser of (1) 30% of 80% of AMI and (2) the Legal Rent as of such date.
(d) A 100% AMI Unit shall be leased to a 100% AMI Tenant for an Actual Rent equal to the lesser of (1) 30% of 100% of AMI and (2) the Legal Rent as of such date.
(e) A 135% AMI Unit shall be leased to a 135% AMI Tenant for an Actual Rent equal to the lesser of (1) 30% of 135% of AMI and (2) the Legal Rent as of such date.
(f) Units that are not Regulated Units may be leased to tenants without regard to any income restrictions set forth in this Agreement.
(ii) If the Actual Rent for a Regulated Unit shall be less than the Legal Rent for such Regulated Unit, the Actual Rent shall be registered as a “preferential rent” under the Rent Stabilization Code. Upon renewal of any lease for an Actual Rent less than the Legal Rent, the Actual Rent may be increased by the amount of the increase, whether expressed as a percentage or otherwise, authorized for one or two year leases (as applicable) in accordance with the Rent Stabilization Code.
(iii) Following the expiration of the Term, the rent for each Regulated Unit occupied by a tenant whose occupancy began prior to the expiration of the Term shall continue to be determined in accordance with the terms of this Declaration.
(iv) Any Eligible Tenant shall be entitled to remain in occupancy and to obtain a renewal lease in accordance with the Rent Stabilization Code, notwithstanding that such tenant’s Annual Income, after initial occupancy, may exceed the maximum for initial eligibility. Further, no Eligible Tenant may be evicted nor its tenancy terminated except for good cause.
(v) In order to determine whether a prospective tenant is an Eligible Tenant, Owner shall ascertain the Annual Income of such tenant’s household. Owner may consult with HPD to obtain advice and guidance with respect to income determinations. Owner must retain all records and documents relating to Owner’s determination for a minimum of three years after the date the tenant commences occupancy. Owner shall provide in each lease for the termination of the lease and eviction of the tenant if the tenant falsely or fraudulently certifies income to Owner.
(vi) Owner shall not refuse to lease a Regulated Unit to a holder of a voucher or certificate under the federal Section 8 Voucher Program or Section 8 Certificate Program or successor programs by reason of the status of the prospective tenant as such a holder.
(vii) No later than thirty (30) days following the date of the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy for any multiple dwelling constructed on the Property (the “TCO Issuance Date”), Owner shall register the rents for any Regulated Unit in accordance with the Rent Stabilization Code at 30% of 40% of AMI for the 40% AMI Units, 30% of 80% of AMI for the 80% AMI Units, 30% of 100% of AMI for the 100% AMI Units, and 30% of 135% of AMI for the 135% AMI Units. For purposes of this paragraph, “AMI” shall mean the AMI as determined by HUD as of the TCO Issuance Date. The rents so registered shall be deemed the initial Legal Rent for each Regulated Unit.
(viii) Owner shall not utilize any exemption or exclusion from any requirement of the Rent Stabilization Code to which Owner might otherwise be or become entitled with respect to one or more Regulated Units, including but not limited to any exemption from or exclusion from the rent limits, renewal lease requirements, registration requirements or other provisions of the Rent Stabilization Code due to (A) the vacancy of a Regulated Unit where the rent exceeds a prescribed maximum amount, (B) the fact that tenant income and/or rent exceed prescribed maximum amounts, (C) the nature of the tenant, or (D) any other factor.
(ix) Units may only be occupied as a primary residence, as defined in the Rent Stabilization Code, by natural persons or families pursuant to a one or two year lease who have met the applicable income requirements for Eligible Tenants at the time of such tenant’s initial occupancy of such Unit. Owner shall only offer a vacant Regulated Unit for occupancy by persons or families intending to occupy such Unit as their primary residence pursuant to a one or two year lease and shall not cause or permit the sublease or assignment of any Regulated Unit for transient occupancy, for occupancy by any household that is not income eligible, or to any corporation or other entity.
(x) “Contractual Rent Regulation” shall mean the following after Destabilization:
(a) Owner shall be required to offer renewal leases on the same terms and conditions as had been required by the Rent Stabilization Code at the time of Destabilization (subject however to the provisions in subparagraphs (b) and (c) below), as if the Regulated Unit was still subject to and not excluded or exempted from any provision of the Rent Stabilization Code, including, but not limited to, any exemption or exclusion regarding rent limits, renewal lease requirements, or any other provision due to (i) the vacancy of a Regulated Unit where the rent exceeds a prescribed maximum amount, (ii) the fact that tenant income and/or Regulated Unit rent exceed prescribed maximum amounts, (iii) the nature of the tenant, or (iv) any other factor.
(b) The “Legal Rent,” as such term is used in this Declaration, shall be limited by percentage increases calculated based on a method or index established by HPD for determining the maximum increase to Legal Rent upon lease renewal or vacancy. Such method or index shall be based on inflation or on factors substantially equivalent to the factors considered in calculating such increases under the Rent Stabilization Code at the time of Destabilization, and shall incorporate a method for determining and implementing increases to Legal Rent by reason of major capital improvements performed by Owner, to the extent that such increases, if any, are not prohibited hereunder. HPD will publish such methodology in the City Record and will provide a copy of the methodology to Owner upon request.
(c) Wherever this Declaration limits increases in rent by increases as permitted by the Rent Stabilization Code (or language of similar import), such increases shall be limited by the percentage increases established by HPD as described in subparagraph (b) above.
(d) If Destabilization occurs during the Term, then, for the remainder of the Term, all Regulated Units that have undergone Destabilization shall be subject to Contractual Rent Regulation. If some Regulated Units remain subject to the Rent Stabilization Code while other Regulated Units have undergone Destabilization, Contractual Rent Regulation will apply only to the Regulated Units that have undergone Destabilization.
8. Enforcement. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Declaration, HPD shall be entitled to institute proceedings at law or in equity for relief from the consequences of said breach including but not limited to seeking injunctive relief to prevent a violation thereof.
9. Superiority. The charges and burdens of this Declaration are, and shall at all times be, prior and therefore superior to the lien or charge of any mortgage or deed of trust hereafter made affecting the Property or any part thereof, including any improvements now or hereafter placed thereon, and, notwithstanding a foreclosure or other voluntary or involuntary transfer of title pursuant to such instrument, shall remain in full force and effect, but are subordinate to the security interests of record on the Effective Date; provided, however, that a breach of any of the restrictions hereof shall not defeat or render invalid the lien or charge of any mortgage or deed of trust. The charges and burdens of this Declaration are not intended to create a lien upon the Property, or grant any right of foreclosure, to any person or party.
10. Notices. All notices provided for herein may be delivered in person, sent by Federal Express or other overnight courier service, mailed in the United States postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or sent by electronic or facsimile transmission, and, regardless of the method of delivery used, shall be considered delivered upon the actual receipt or refusal of receipt thereof. The name, address and other information to be used in connection with such correspondence and notices to Owner shall be the then-current owner’s name and address information maintained in the official real property tax records with respect to the Property.
11. Miscellaneous.
(a) Headings. The headings in this Declaration are for convenience only and do not in any way limit or affect the terms and provisions hereof.
(b) Unenforceability. If any provision of this Declaration is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the remainder of such provision or any other provisions hereof.
(c) Gender. Wherever appropriate in this Declaration, the singular shall be deemed to refer to the plural and the plural to the singular, and pronouns of certain genders shall be deemed to include either or both of the other genders.
(d) Governing Law. This Declaration shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
(e) Amendments. This Declaration may be amended or canceled only by written instrument executed by HPD and the then-current owner of the Property.
(f) Entire Agreement. This Declaration constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior negotiations or discussions, whether oral or written, with respect thereto.
12. Expiration. Except as otherwise provided herein, upon the expiration of the Term, this Declaration shall be of no further force and effect; provided, however, that HPD shall retain all of its rights and remedies to enforce this Declaration with respect to any default or violation that occurred prior to the expiration of the Term. HPD shall, if requested by Owner, execute and deliver to Owner a document in recordable form to acknowledge the expiration of this Declaration.
13. Covenants Run With The Land. This Declaration shall run with the land and bind all subsequent parties in interest to the Property, including but not limited to Owner’s successors, assigns, heirs, grantees and lessees, during the Term. All references to "Owner" in this Declaration shall include Owner's successors, assigns, heirs, grantees and lessees.
14. Enforcement.
(a) In the event of a breach of any of the covenants and agreements contained herein, the City shall have the right to one or more of the following nonexclusive remedies:
(i) Institute and prosecute any proceeding for an injunction or for specific performance of Owner's obligations hereunder.
(ii) Extend the term of this Declaration by the period of such noncompliance upon the recording of an appropriate document, executed solely by the City, against the Property. The period of noncompliance shall be presumed to be the period running from the date of this Declaration to the date that HPD notifies the Owner of such noncompliance, which presumption may be rebutted by Owner.
(b) In the event of a threatened breach of any of the covenants and agreements contained herein, the City shall have the right to the remedy described in Paragraph 14(a)(i) above.
