thousand fourteen, was ineligible for a  senior  citizen  rent  increase

currently receiving a  senior  citizen  rent  increase  exemption  at  a
significantly  higher  rent  rate,  shall be deemed entitled to a senior
citizen rent increase exemption at his rent  rate  prior  to  June,  two
thousand  fourteen.  Further,  Julius Diamond's landlord, Pickman Realty
Group, shall be entitled to a reimbursement for the  rent  arrears  that

borne by the New York city department of finance.
  S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
