There is substantial evidence on this record to find that petitioners rented a rent stabilized apartment to a client at a rate above the 10% statutory limit in violation of New York State Emergency Tenant Protection Regulations (9 N.Y.CRR) § 2505.7, and accepted commissions thereon. The Department of State, following a hearing, determined that petitioners Short Term and Garcia were aware that the rent charged was illegal. Where a real estate company is aware that one of its agents demonstrated untrustworthiness and then accepts a portion of a brokerage fee, the wrongdoing is imputed to the company, and the determination to suspend the licenses and fine them until a commission is returned, is proper. (Partridge Real Estate Co. v. Cuomo, 69 A.D.2d 849.)

We have considered the other issues raised by petitioners and find them to be without merit.
