Rosenblum & Bianco, LLP, Rockville Centre (John Bianco of counsel), for appellant.

Sokolski & Zekaria, P.C., New York (Robert E. Sokolski of counsel), for respondent.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Lynn R. Kotler, J.), entered January 11, 2018, which, in this action seeking, inter alia, a declaration that the subject apartment is rent-stabilized, denied defendant‘s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Contrary to defendant‘s contention, this action is not a fair market rent appeal and the apartment‘s rental history may be examined beyond four years to determine its rent-stabilization status (see Olsen v Stellar W. 110, LLC, 96 AD3d 440, 441-442 [1st Dept 2012], lv dismissed 20 NY3d 1000 [2013]; Gersten v 56 7th Ave. LLC, 88 AD3d 189, 199-200 [1st Dept 2011]).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.

ENTERED: JUNE 7, 2018
