Belkin Burden Goldman LLP has released a new episode of its Ground Rules podcast featuring BBG partner Michael Bobick.

In the episode, BBG partner and host David Shamshovich speaks with Bobick about New York’s Loft Law and its impact on owners and tenants navigating the legalization of former commercial and manufacturing buildings for residential use. Drawing on his experience at the New York City Loft Board and in private practice, Bobick explains the origins of the Loft Law, the role of the Loft Board, interim multiple dwellings, rent regulation, tenant protections, and the legalization process.

The conversation also examines proposed Loft Board rule changes involving primary residence determinations, Article 7B compliance, and certificates of occupancy, along with the practical issues owners face when bringing buildings into compliance.
