DRA Erred in Rent Calculation

December 1, 2000

LVT Number: 14599

(Decision submitted by James R. Marino of the Manhattan law firm of Kucker & Bruh, LLP, attorneys for the landlord.) Tenant complained of a rent overcharge. The DRA ruled for tenant and found there was a willful overcharge. The DRA ordered landlord to refund $2,300 to tenant. Landlord appealed, claiming error. The DHCR ruled for landlord. The DRA didn't include a 1996 two-year renewal lease increase in its calculation of the legal rent. There was, in fact, no overcharge.
