Landlord Relocated Laundry Rooms to Basement Without DHCR Approval
LVT Number: #27570
Rent-stabilized tenants complained of a reduction in building-wide services, after landlord moved laundry room service from each floor in the building to the common basement area. The DRA ruled for tenants and reduced their rents. Landlord appealed and lost. The relocation of the laundry room service on each floor to the basement location was a modification of required services made without any filing by landlord of an application to the DHCR for permission to do so.
