Can't Include Cost of Reinstalling Air Conditioners
LVT Number: 9132
The DRA granted landlord's application for MCI rent hikes, based on the installation of new windows. Tenants appealed, claiming that landlord shouldn't have gotten a rent hike for reinstalling existing air conditioners in the new windows. The DHCR ruled for tenants. Reinstalling existing air conditioners isn't an allowable MCI expense because it isn't an improvement---it's just continuing a prior level of service.
