DHCR Properly Allocated Pro Rata Share of Commercial Rent

LVT Number: 16726

(Decision submitted by James R. Marino of the Manhattan law firm of Kucker & Bruh, LLP, attorneys for the landlord.) Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes for elevator upgrading, rewiring, and window installation. The DRA ruled for landlord. Tenants appealed, claiming that the commercial rents used in calculating the MCI rent hike were incorrect and that commercial tenants were responsible for a larger share of the cost of the improvements than was found by the DRA. The DHCR ruled against tenants.
