(a) A
of a which has been created or is intended to be created shall give each of the tenants and any subtenant of the building written notice of conversion which states the fact of conversion or the intent to convert at least 120 days before the
will require such parties to vacate. The notice shall be hand delivered to the
or mailed by prepaid United States mail to the tenant and subtenant at the address of the
or any other mailing address provided by a tenant. No tenant or subtenant may be required by the
to vacate upon less than 120 days written notice, except by reason of non-payment of rent, waste, or unlawful conduct or violation of any other term or condition of the lease other than the expiration, and the terms of the tenancy may not be altered during that period. Failure of a
to give notice as required by this section constitutes a defense to an action for possession.
(b) On the date of the giving of the notice of conversion to a tenant and/or subtenant as provided in subsection (a) above, the
shall send by United States mail to the City License Division written notice of conversion, which states the fact of conversion or the intent to convert.
