Landlord Removed Recreation Area During Co-op Conversion

LVT Number: 8171

(Decision submitted by Robert J. Anderson of the Manhattan law firm of Finder Novick Kerrigan & Anderson, attorneys for tenants.) Tenants complained of a reduction in building-wide services. Tenants claimed that landlord took away various recreational and meeting room facilities at the time the building was converted to a cooperative. Landlord then restricted use of these facilities to co-op tenants only. The DRA ruled for tenants, reducing rents for over 500 tenants at the building complex to levels paid before Dec. 1, 1990.
