Broken Floor Tiles

July 31, 2004

LVT Number: 17513

Tenant complained of a reduction in services based on broken floor tiles in the building entrance foyer. The DRA ruled for tenant after an inspection and reduced his rent. Landlord appealed, claiming that this was a minor condition that didn't warrant a rent reduction. The DHCR ruled against landlord. The broken ceramic floor tiles covered an area of two square feet. There was also evidence of unworkmanlike repairs. This wasn't a minor condition.
