Decrease in Janitorial Staff Was Minor Condition
LVT Number: #27246
Tenant complained of a reduction in building-wide services. The DRA ruled against tenant and dismissed the case. Tenant appealed and lost. Tenant argued that the removal of a full-time porter resulted in a decrease in janitorial services at the building. But, based on inspection, the DRA found that it appeared that janitorial service was provided regularly at the building. A decrease in the number of janitorial staff, provided there is no decrease in janitorial services, is a de minimis condition listed in Rent Stabilization Code Section 2523.4(e) and doesn’t warrant a rent reduction.
