Rent stabilization in NEW YORK, NEW YORK?

Question: is it accurate or not?.....A person living in a rent stabilized apt in NYC (specifically) need to LIVE in the said apt for 6mos plus 1day and legally rent out the apt for the remaining time. Pls do not refer me to a NYC website, I have visited and it does not speak on this issue. Pls, give very specifics. THANK'S.
