MCI Rent Hike Granted for HVAC Heating/Cooling System

March 31, 2011

LVT Number: #23302

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the installation of an HVAC heating/cooling system that replaced thru-wall air conditioners and heat units. The DRA ruled against landlord, finding that its application was untimely and because masonry sleeves weren't installed. Landlord appealed and won. The DRA had based its timeliness ruling on a DOB electrical signoff that was issued for the installation of a boiler. This was unrelated to landlord's MCI application.

The DHCR also agreed with landlord that the installation of wall sleeves wasn't required for the MCI since the new HVAC system didn't use them.
