Courtyard Wasn't Completely Resurfaced

LVT Number: #23507

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the replacement of a stoop, walkway, and iron railing in front of the building. The DRA ruled against landlord because no work was done to the backyard. Landlord appealed and lost. Concrete resurfacing of the entire original courtyard area and walkways within the property lines qualifies as an MCI. But the walkway/courtyard at the backyard of landlord's building wasn't resurfaced with concrete. The replacement of the front walkway alone didn't qualify.
