DHCR Granted Landlord's Request for Reconsideration of Rent Administrator's Order

Landlord applied to the DHCR for MCI rent increases based on elevator upgrading. The DRA ruled against landlord on Dec. 17, 2021. Landlord appealed and won. Before filing a Petition for Administrative Review (PAR), landlord filed a request for reconsideration before the PAR was due. In response, the DRA granted the request and reopened the case for further consideration. While that request for reconsideration was pending, landlord also filed a timely PAR. On Dec. 16, 2022, the DRA issued an Order Pursuant to Reconsideration, which revoked the DRA's earlier order and granted the MCI rent increases. This made landlord's PAR moot, and the DHCR therefore terminated the PAR proceeding two years later.
