Landlord Didn't Prove Need for Waiver of Useful Life Requirement
LVT Number: 14217
Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the installation of a new hot-water heater. The DRA ruled against landlord because the useful life of the prior water heater hadn't expired. Landlord appealed, claiming that a new hot-water heater was required because of emergency conditions. The DHCR ruled against landlord. Landlord didn't explain what kind of emergency there was. The prior hot-water heater was in place for only five years, and the normal useful life for this item is 10 years.
