A landlord is required to serve a predicate "notice to vacate or surrender possession" pursuant to RSC § 2524.2 prior to commencing a proceeding to "remove or evict" a tenant from a rent-stabilized housing accommodation upon any ground permitted by RSC §§ 2524.3 or 2524.4. This includes commencement of a holdover proceeding based upon nonprimary residence (see RSC § 2524.4 [c]), which has an additional prerequisite—service of a notice of intent to commence a summary proceeding pursuant to RSC § 2524.4 (c). When nonprimary residence is the basis for the landlord's election not to renew a rent-stabilized tenancy, it is required to serve the RSC § 2524.2 notice within a specified period of time prior to the expiration of the lease (see RSC § 2524.2 [c] [2]; see also Golub v Frank, 65 NY2d 900, 901 [1985]). Failure to serve such notice within the statutory period forecloses the landlord's opportunity to commence a nonprimary residence proceeding until a renewal lease is executed and the same window opens again prior to the expiration of the renewal lease (see Ansonia Assoc. v Rosenberg, 163 AD2d 101 [1990]; Nussbaum Resources I LLC v Gilmartin, 4 Misc 3d 80 [App Term, 1st Dept 2004]).
