Application Not Filed on Time

LVT Number: 12523

Landlord applied for MCI rent increases based on several improvements. The DRA ruled against landlord based on landlord's failure to file its MCI application within two years of completion of the work. Landlord appealed, claiming that the work was completed in December 1986 rather than in March 1986, as originally claimed. The DHCR ruled against landlord. The only proof landlord offered for the December 1986 completion date was two checks to its contractor, which represented 11 percent of the contract price.

But landlord had already submitted checks dated prior to March 1986 for 75 percent of the contract price.
