Cash Payment Made for Part of Work

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the installation of a new roof and windows. The DRA ruled for landlord, but disallowed some of the claimed cost, because it wasn't proved. Landlord appealed, claiming that part of the MCI was paid for in cash. The DHCR ruled for landlord. Landlord had submitted a sworn statement from its contractor that landlord paid $2,680 in cash for part of the window installation. This was acceptable proof of landlord's cost and was added to the calculation of the MCI increase.
