Issue Decided in Prior Cases

LVT Number: 12694

(Decision submitted by Pamela A. Koplik of the Manhattan law firm of Rosenberg & Estis, P.C., attorneys for the landlord.) Tenants complained of a reduction in building-wide services. The DRA ruled against tenants but stated that they could refile a complaint in the future concerning the closing of the incinerator rooms. Landlord appealed and pointed out that in 15 other PAR orders issued concerning the same building complex, the DHCR had revoked the DRA's ruling that tenants could refile complaints about the incinerator rooms.

Landlord appealed and pointed out that in 15 other PAR orders issued concerning the same building complex, the DHCR had revoked the DRA's ruling that tenants could refile complaints about the incinerator rooms. The DHCR reviewed the case to see if it contained any different legal or factual issues. Finding none, the DHCR ruled for landlord. There was no reason for the DHCR to rule differently in this case than it had in 15 prior cases concerning the same issue in the same building complex.
