Landlord Installed Defective Windows

LVT Number: 9024

Westchester landlord applied for MCI rent hikes, based on the installation of new windows. The DHCR revoked the rent hikes, finding that the new windows were defective. Landlord appealed, and the trial court reinstated the rent hikes. The DHCR appealed, and the appeals court upheld the DHCR's ruling, which denied landlord's application. The DHCR's decision was reasonable, and was based on credible evidence.
