Landlord Proved Tenants Got Fuel Forms

LVT Number: 10539

Landlord collected fuel cost adjustments for rent-controlled tenants, based on a decrease in the price of #2 fuel oil in 1992. The DRA later ruled that landlord didn't timely serve and file the required fuel cost decrease report. The DRA therefore suspended landlord's fuel cost adjustments for that year. Landlord appealed and submitted copies of the 1992 fuel cost report with tenants' signatures confirming that they had received the report in April 1992. The DHCR ruled for landlord. Landlord proved that tenants were timely served with the fuel cost report.
