Kitchen and Bathroom Renovations

LVT Number: 17420

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on various improvements. The DRA ruled for landlord in part but denied any rent hike for kitchen and bathroom renovations. Landlord appealed. The DHCR ruled for landlord in part. Landlord showed that it renovated kitchens and bathrooms in all the apartments in the building. So landlord was entitled to rent hikes for this work. However, the cost included plumbing work that the DRA disallowed any MCI rent hike for. So the cost of this portion of the work was disallowed.
