Lack of Intercom for Five Years No Bar to MCI Rent Hike
LVT Number: #20492
Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the installation of an intercom system. The DRA ruled for landlord. Tenant appealed, claiming that she should be compensated because she didn't have a working intercom for five years before landlord installed the new one. The DHCR ruled against tenant. Tenant didn't say that the new intercom didn't work. Tenant's remedy was to file a complaint of a reduction in services if she had a nonworking intercom. There were no grounds to bar the MCI rent hike or grant any refund to tenant.
