Landlord Removed TV Aerial

LVT Number: 8626

Tenant complained of reduced services. She claimed that landlord had made her remove her individual television aerial from the building roof so that landlord could install a master antenna and charge her for it. The DRA ruled for tenant, and reduced her rent. Landlord appealed, claiming that tenant was never authorized to put her own TV antenna on the roof. The DHCR's records show that under a 1951 rent control order, landlord got a $2.00 monthly increase for tenant's installation of a TV aerial. The DHCR ruled against landlord.
