On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules,
order reversed, with costs, order of Supreme Court, New York
County, reinstated, and certified question answered in the
negative.  Supreme Court properly held that calculation of the
amount of rent overcharge should be made by reference to a 1982
rent reduction order, which remained in effect during the four-
year limitations period (see Matter of Cintron v Calogero, 15
NY3d 347 [2010]).  Chief Judge Lippman and Judges Ciparick,
Graffeo, Read, Smith, Pigott and Jones concur.
Decided June 7, 2011
