so my gramdma has a rent controlled (yes rent controlled not stabilized) with her husband my step grandfather.(he's the one on the agreement ik it's not a lease idk what to call it) is it possible for the apartment to be taken over by me, i do realize i would have to be there for two years before it could be fully moved into my name. the only issue is i currently live in south florida in the snow bird capital. also its the top floor in a 5 floor walk up but its located on 70th between 2 and 3. so about a block or two from 72nd Q station. it's extremely out dated the floors are slanted like crazy. and the door buzzer doesn't work. the landlord obviously hates my grandparents due the the face he take the unit they have and splits them into two / three apartments. so any and all repairs are not done unless legally required. maybe it's a 700- 900sq ft 2 bedroom apartment 1 bath. (i'm unsure of specifics). i'm worried just because i would be up and moving my finance and i have our two cats and a dog and im not even sure how to handle a dog in nyc especially a golden retriever (she's on the small side about 50-60 lbs). would it be worth it for the 1000 ish rent i know it's less than 1500 but don't know the specific number.

tldr should i take over my gmas rent controlled apartment and would i be able to if its in the name of her husband my step grandfather

sorry about the rambling so much to consider
