Copy as parenthetical citation

(a) the landlord or the tenant receiving abatement pursuant to this title fails to comply with the requirements of this title or the rules promulgated hereunder; or

(b) an application, certificate, report or other document submitted by the applicant contains a false or misleading statement as to a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statement therein not false or misleading, and may declare any applicant who makes such false or misleading statement or omission to be ineligible for future abatement pursuant to this title for the same or other property. In addition, the department of finance shall require the applicant to pay, with penalty and interest, any abatement received pursuant to this title as a result of such false or misleading statement or omission of a material fact. 6. Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, the department of finance shall deny, terminate or revoke any abatement applied for or granted pursuant to this title upon a determination that the lease between the landlord and the tenant does not constitute a bona fide arm's length lease. In making such determination, the department of finance may consider, among other factors, the relationship, if any, between the landlord and the tenant and whether the business terms of such lease are consistent with the business terms generally found in leases for comparable space. 7. (a) If any person described in the statement required by paragraph (b) of subdivision seven of section four hundred ninety-nine-c of this title or paragraph (b) of this subdivision is finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be guilty of any charge listed in such statement, the department of finance shall revoke the abatement granted pursuant to this title and shall require the payment, with interest, of any abatement received pursuant to this title.

(b) The applicant shall, on the certificate of continuing eligibility, state whether any charges alleging violation by the applicant or any person owning a substantial interest in the eligible building, or any officer, director or general partner of the applicant or person owning a substantial interest in the eligible building, or any person for whom the applicant or person owning a substantial interest in the eligible building is an officer, director or general partner, of section two hundred thirty-five of the real property law or any section of article one hundred fifty of the penal law or any similar arson law of another jurisdiction, are pending. For purposes of this paragraph, "substantial interest" shall have the same meaning as set forth in paragraph (c) of subdivision seven of section four hundred ninety-nine-c of this title. 8. The department of finance shall revoke any abatement granted pursuant to this title with respect to premises leased to a renewal tenant if the applicant shall fail to submit evidence acceptable to the department of finance, within the time specified in subdivision four of section four hundred ninety-nine-d of this title, that the requirements of section four hundred ninety-nine-c of this title concerning expenditures on improvements have been met within the time specified in such section four hundred ninety-nine-c. In such event, the department of finance shall require the landlord to pay, with penalty and interest, any abatement received pursuant to this title with respect to the premises in question.
