An owner of a housing accommodation who wishes to convert shall provide to each tenant household and to the Conversion and Sale Regulatory Office a request for election.
The request shall be sent by first class mail to the tenants and posted in the common areas of the housing accommodation.
The request shall indicate whether the election is for condominium conversion or cooperative conversion.
Included with the request must be the tenant information available at the Conversion and Sale Regulatory Office. A Spanish translation of that information, to be sent to each household where Spanish is the primary language, is also available at the Office.
In addition to providing a copy of the request for election, the owner shall provide the following information to the Conversion and Sale Regulatory Office:
If the owner owns a housing accommodation which operates as part of a housing complex, the owner may request, as part of the application, that the housing accommodation be combined for the purposes of the election. The owner shall provide evidence that the housing accommodations have been treated as an integrated complex in the past and indicate the intent to combine the structures as one condominium or cooperative.
A certification fee in the amount set forth in § 4717 shall accompany the request for election filed with the Conversion and Sale Regulatory Office Rental Conversion and Sale Division.
