Increase Granted for Air Conditioner Chiller Unit

LVT Number: 17995

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the installation of a central air conditioning system chiller unit. The DRA ruled for landlord. Tenant appealed, claiming that this wasn't an MCI and that landlord told tenants it intended to replace the building's cooling tower. The DHCR ruled against tenant. Installation of a chiller unit qualified as an MCI. And anything landlord said about a cooling tower installation was irrelevant.
