There has been a surge in the conversion of rental buildings since 2004, said Kenneth Demario, an assistant state attorney general in the office's real estate finance department, which oversees conversion plans. Mr. Demario said a majority of tenants in most buildings then were rent-regulated. They had a lot of leverage, he said, because they could refuse to go along with the conversion.
