     3  follows:
     4    (1) The landlord seeks in good faith to recover possession of a  hous-
     5  ing  accommodation  [because  of immediate and compelling necessity] for
     6  his or her own personal use and occupancy or for the use  and  occupancy
     7  of  his or her immediate family provided, however, that this subdivision
     8  shall not apply where a member of the household lawfully  occupying  the
     9  housing  accommodation  is  sixty-two years of age or older[, has been a
    10  tenant in a housing accommodation in that building for twenty  years  or
    11  more,] or has an impairment which results from anatomical, physiological
    12  or  psychological conditions, other than addiction to alcohol, gambling,
    13  or any controlled substance, which are demonstrable by medically accept-
    14  able clinical  and  laboratory  diagnostic  techniques,  and  which  are
    15  expected  to  be permanent and which prevent the tenant from engaging in
    16  any substantial gainful employment; or

    18  ments  to section 26-408 of the city rent and rehabilitation law made by

    21  residential rents and evictions continues, as provided in subdivision  3
    22  of section 1 of the local emergency housing rent control act.
