Corrected Invoice Accepted

September 30, 2001

LVT Number: 15325

Tenant filed a fair market rent appeal, challenging the first rent-stabilized rent for his apartment. The DRA ruled for tenant and reduced his rent. However, the DRA included in the calculation of tenant's fair market rent the 1/40th cost of certain apartment improvements. Tenant appealed, disputing the cost of some improvements. The DHCR ruled against tenant. Landlord submitted an invoice in the amount of $4,000 for kitchen and bathroom items. The invoice, along with the original work proposal and plans, sufficiently documented the work, including installation of kitchen cabinets.

Although the invoice listed another apartment number, the supplier submitted a sworn statement that this was an error.
