Handicap Ramp Not Required for MCI Approval of New Doors

January 27, 2016

LVT Number: #26751

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the replacement of lobby entrance doors. The DRA ruled against landlord because there was no handicap access ramp to the lobby entrance doors and no access ramp for handicapped tenants at the building. Landlord appealed and won. Lobby entrance doors constitute an MCI. Installation of a handicap ramp in connection with the lobby door installation isn't a requirement for approval of the MCI.
