Facade Replacement Didn't Qualify as MCI

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on facade replacement and architect fees. The DRA ruled against landlord, who appealed and lost. The facade work didn't include pointing, waterproofing, or resurfacing of the exterior walls. Therefore, it didn't qualify as an MCI.
