Landlord Didn't Submit Proof of New Lobby Doors

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the installation of new lobby entrance doors. The DRA ruled against landlord, who appealed and lost. The DRA repeatedly asked landlord to submit an executed contract for the work, which landlord failed to do. Landlord claimed that he sent the document to the DRA by certified mail, return receipt requested. But there was no copy of the contract in the DHCR's file. Also, even if landlord did submit the contract, it was undated and therefore was insufficient proof of any timely filed MCI application.
