In another significant victory for tenant rights in New York, the U.S. Supreme Court denied certiorari in the final two rent-stabilization cases that Selendy Gay has been litigating alongside The Legal Aid Society and Legal Services NYC for more than 5 years.
The court’s decisions in Building and Realty Institute of Westchester and Putnam Counties, Inc., et al. v. State of New York, et al. and G-Max Management, Inc., et al. v. State of New York, et al. put an end to a series of landlord challenges to crucial tenant protections enacted in 2019 and leave in place our sweeping victories in the Second Circuit and Eastern District of New York.
Since 2019, Selendy Gay has helped obtain decisions that have protected tenant rights in five different rent-stabilization cases, all of which were affirmed on appeal. The firm’s efforts have been widely lauded, most recently at The Legal Aid Society’s “2024 Pro Bono Publico Awards.”
The Selendy Gay team is led by partners Faith Gay and Sean Baldwin, special counsel Corey Stoughton, and associate Babak Ghafarzade.
