An owner who intends to convert to a nonprofit cooperative may apply for exemption from the provision of Title II of the Act. The application shall include, in addition to the information required in §§ 4701.5(a) -(g), the following:
The Conversion and Sale Regulatory Office may issue an exemption from Title II of the Act if it appears that the conversion of the housing accommodation will not cause substantial displacement. The exemption shall indicate from which provisions of Title II of the Act the housing accommodation is exempt.
If the owner does not convert to a nonprofit cooperative, the owner shall immediately notify the Conversion and Sale Regulatory Office, and the exemption shall be void. The owner shall then comply with Title II of the Act.
