Locked Laundry Room Toilet

LVT Number: 11243

Tenant complained of a reduction in services because the building's laundry room toilet was locked. The DRA ruled for tenant and ordered landlord to restore the service. Landlord appealed, claiming that this was never a base date service for tenants but was provided solely for the building staff. The DHCR ruled for landlord. The locked laundry room toilet was a de minimus condition that didn't warrant a finding of service decrease. The rent reduction was revoked.
