OPINION OF THE COURT
Graffeo, J.
In 1982, the Legislature enacted the Loft Law to address the proliferation of illegal residential conversions of manufacturing premises in New York City. Plaintiff tenants, who converted their commercially-leased units over a decade after the Loft Law’s eligibility period ended, ask this Court to extend the protections of the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974 (ETPA [L 1974, ch 576, § 4, as amended]) to their conversions. We conclude, as did the courts below, that ETPA protections are not available under these circumstances.
