Ozsu can only do this because of the pandemic renter-relief program, which was not intended for instances such as what we have here.

Maybe developers more often than not screw over the little guy as you claim. But that doesn't appear to be what's happening in this case.
I'm pretty sure the landlord is using intimidation tactics to coerce him out. Creating noise with the fan is a classic tactic that is used by landlords in NYC to get tenants out of rent-stabilized units without paying them to leave. Is the tenant exploiting a loophole? Yes. Is he wrong to do so? No, not really.
