Harassment Proceeding Inspection Not Relevant

Landlord applied for MCI rent increases based on new windows. The DRA ruled for landlord, and tenants appealed. They pointed out that an inspection in a DHCR harassment proceeding indicated that there were building violations and conditions requiring repair. The DHCR ruled against tenants. Absent a rent reduction order or other finding of reduced required services at the building, there was no reason to revoke the MCI increase.
