DHCR Denies First-Floor Tenant's Appeal of MCI Increase for Elevator Upgrade

LVT Number: #32760

The DHCR's Rent Administrator granted landlord's application for MCI rent hikes based on an elevator upgrade, including consultant fees. Tenant appealed and lost. Tenant claimed that she shouldn't have to pay for the elevator upgrade because she lived on the first floor of the building. But tenant didn't raise this issue before the DRA. The DHCR wouldn't consider an issue raised for the first time in tenant's PAR.
