What fraud? He is not trying to commit fraud. He came here to ask what his rights are as son of a mother who lives in a rent controlled apartment. As one poster already mentioned it is best if OP googles "Succession rights rearding rent controlled apartments in nyc."

nonsense
if he is putting his name on bills and his license so it looks like he is living there or still living there it is fraud .
his original post made no reference to living there , only to the-fact he has the address on some things.
if he was living there for two years then why the post .it would be a given he has succession rights …it is clearly shown right on the stabilization website . if it was really a question he would not have omitted such a crucial piece of information in the original post
something here sounds fishy.
you want to believe this is legit , be my guest but i think the only thing missing here is it didnt start with once upon a time

Here is the problem with the fraud the OP is trying to commit, if we all decided to scam landlords by manipulating the rent-controlled regulations put in place several decades ago then the landlords would go bankrupt and the building would most likely go into foreclosure. Eventually the building would fall in disrepair because there is no money coming in to maintain it.
Once the boiler died there would be no heat. Once the hot water heater dies, there would be no hot water. If your upstairs neighbor had a leak it would never be addressed, mold would develop which would be a health hazard for you and your family. Blown breaker equals no electricity. This is just the tip of the iceberg in a list of disrepair that will unfold.
It's not about this one person trying to scam the system, it's about the many that do and think like the OP. You do not own this property. You just rent it. Lets say you bought a house in the 1970's for $50k. Now that house is worth over $1 million dollars. Would you sell the house a fraction of what it's worth, lets say $200k (I'm going by what the OP's mother is probably paying considering her rent-controlled rate).
You tell me OP, how is that fair? Can you possibly look at this issue subjectively or is your mind set on defrauding the landlord at all cost?

He does not know the requirements to be able to inherit the apartment. Therefore he came here to ask. Does thos make him suspicious of fraud, just asking questions?

But it is the LAW, and if OP satisfies all requirements he inherits the apartment.
Btw,, not all apartments in a bulding are or remain rent controlled and are upgraded to market rate
He does not know the requirements to be able to inherit the apartment. Therefore he came here to ask. Does thos make him suspicious of fraud, just asking questions?
yes it does when he doesnt say he is living there and only refers to putting his address on things
the logical question asked would have been i am living with my mother , can i stay in the apartment ?
that is likely what anyone of us would have asked had we not known the laws …not i have that address on my licence. and a con ed bill in my name , do i have succession rights .
that puts a big cloud over the whole scenario

If he's trying to fraudulently inherit the apartment, it's up to the LL to show that he doesn't actually live there. Given the state of technology, this is not that difficult, if it's really the case.
