Defective DC-2 Notice

August 31, 1997

LVT Number: 11777

Tenant filed a fair market rent appeal, claiming that the DC-2 notice of the initial legal regulated rent sent to prior tenant was defective. The DRA ruled against tenant, and tenant appealed. Landlord had modified the form DC-2 notice, adding to the listing of the 1979 maximum rent a statement that this rent was based on ``comparable open market rents for similar-sized apartments.'' This statement was incorrect and misleading and didn't inform the first stabilized tenant of the correct 1979 maximum rent.
